In this episode of The Deal Vault, Sarah and Greg break down one of the most common financing decisions real estate investors face: whether to use a short-term bridge loan or long-term DSCR debt for their next rental property. They walk through real deal scenarios, ARV math, and the logic behind matching your financing to your actual investing strategy.
Whether you’re a buy-and-hold investor eyeing a beat-up property or a long-term landlord sitting on equity you haven’t tapped, this episode makes the bridge loan vs. DSCR decision much clearer. If you’ve ever picked a loan product without fully running the numbers, this one is for you.
Who This Episode Is For:
• Buy-and-hold rental investors deciding between bridge and DSCR financing on an acquisition
• Investors considering a light rehab who aren’t sure if the scope warrants short-term financing
• Long-term landlords sitting on equity who don’t want to give up a low rate but need capital
• New investors unfamiliar with how bridge loans work and when the higher rate is worth it
• Anyone who has financed a renovation out of pocket and wants to understand what they left on the table
