Key Considerations for Raleigh Investors

DSCR ratio qualification

LLC and entity borrowing

All LendingStreet DSCR programs in Raleigh allow LLC borrowing with personal guarantees. Standard for asset protection.

Cash-out refi strategy

Raleigh's 5.6% YoY appreciation makes cash-out refinancing attractive. Typical caps: 70-75% LTV. Use equity to acquire more Raleigh properties.
