With deep roots in Michigan and lending programs across 43 states, REIF Loans provides personalized support wherever you invest.

Our Loan Programs

DSCR Loans - Cash Flow- Driven Lending

A loan designed for rental property investors who qualify based on income from the property, not their personal income. Perfect for both long-term rentals and short-term Airbnb/VRBO investments.

DSCR Loan Tip

Commercial Loans — Scale Your Portfolio

For investors ready to move into 5+ unit multifamily or mixed-use properties, our commercial loan options provide larger limits and flexible underwriting.

Conventional Loans – For Primary & Smaller Investment Properties

Traditional financing for borrowers with strong credit and documented income. Great for investors purchasing or refinancing 1–4 unit residential properties under conforming loan limits, offering competitive rates backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines.

Refi Mortgage Loans – Unlock Equity, Expand Opportunity

Use your existing equity to refinance, consolidate, or reinvest into your next project. Our refinance programs help investors lower monthly payments, pull cash out, or move from bridge loans into permanent DSCR financing.

Our Process – Strategic Lending, Simplified

Whether you’re purchasing, refinancing, or scaling your portfolio, our strategic lending process delivers end-to-end solutions that save time, reduce surprises, and secure better deals.
