Key terms every real estate investor should know before applying for a loan.
The estimated market value of a property after all planned renovations are completed. Lenders use ARV to determine the maximum loan amount on fix-and-flip deals.
A measure of a property's ability to cover its debt payments from rental income. A DSCR of 1.0 means income equals debt payments; lenders typically require 1.1–1.25.
A pre-agreed timeline of loan disbursements tied to construction or renovation milestones. Funds are released in stages as work is completed and inspected.
A short-term, asset-based loan funded by private investors or companies. Approval is based primarily on the property value rather than the borrower's credit or income.
A short-term loan used to bridge the gap between purchasing a new property and securing long-term financing or selling an existing property.
Capitalization rate — the ratio of a property's net operating income to its purchase price. Used to compare the profitability of different investment properties.
The annual pre-tax cash flow divided by the total cash invested. A key metric for evaluating the actual return on your out-of-pocket investment.
The ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the property. Lower LTV means less risk for the lender and often results in better loan terms.
