Frequently Asked Questions from Ithaca Rental Property Investors
What are rental property loans and why are they ideal for Ithaca?
Rental property loans, often called investor loans or DSCR loans, are designed specifically for income-producing real estate. They are ideal for the Ithaca market because they focus on the property's ability to generate cash flow (especially valuable in a strong student rental market), allowing investors to leverage their portfolio without tying up personal finances as much as traditional loans.

We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Ithaca rental projects, we typically fund loans within 7-15 business days. This allows you to close on new acquisitions or complete refinances without unnecessary delays, securing your place in Ithaca's competitive rental market.
What types of residential investment properties do you lend on in Ithaca?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment properties across Ithaca and Tompkins County. This includes single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and small multifamily apartment buildings (up to 20 units). Our focus is on income-generating properties ready for long-term hold.
Do you require an appraisal for Ithaca rental properties?
Yes, for long-term rental property loans, a standard appraisal is typically required to determine the current market value of the property. We work with experienced local appraisers in the Ithaca area to ensure accurate valuations and a smooth underwriting process, getting you closer to funding quickly.
