Products

Certain provides reliable mortgage products for construction, fix and flip, buy and hold, BRRRR, and other real estate investing strategies. Because software handles underwriting we tailor these products to meet the needs of our clients, whenever a real estate investment deserves putting capital at risk.

Fix and Flip

Short-term financing to buy and renovate properties with up to 10 units. We support experienced and new investors with competitive terms and pricing.

Construction

We finance the construction of residential and small multifamily investment properties. Investors appreciate our flexible terms, ease of draw funding, and speed of closing.

Bridge

Financing of newly constructed or renovated properties that are currently vacant and stabilized and are ineligible for permanent financing.

Rental Properties

Permanent financing of rental properties with long-term tenants. These loans use the rental cash flow and stabilized property value to determine the loan amount.

Short-Term Rental

A solution for investors who need permanent financing for their rentals listed on AirBNB and VRBO. This product allows DSCR to be calculated by using 12 months of operating history or AirDNA rents as market rent.

Rental Portfolios

For experienced investors, we finance up to 10 rental properties as a single loan. These loans are often more cost effective than closing each loan individually.

Bank Statement

Small business owners and self-employed individuals have the ability to obtain permanent financing on their rental properties by underwriting their income, instead of rental property cash flow. We do this by analyzing bank statements and do not require tax returns.
