What Our Clients Say
Super customer service!
EquityMax Lending has been instrumental in helping me scale from 3 to 12 properties in just 18 months. Their DSCR loan program allowed me to qualify based on the properties’ performance rather than my personal income, which removed the ceiling on how much I could borrow. Their team understands investors and moves quickly – exactly what I needed.
Michael R. | Multi-Property Investor
Transformed our brand
After being frustrated with traditional banks’ lengthy processes and income verification requirements, finding EquityMax was a game-changer for our business. Their DSCR program let us acquire four new properties in a competitive market where speed was essential. The 21-day close is real – they delivered exactly when promised.
Jennifer T. | Real Estate Investment LLC Owner
Innovative and professional
We used EquityMax’s DSCR program to refinance three of our existing properties, pulling out enough equity to purchase two additional units without touching our savings. Their team guided us through the entire process, explaining every step and ensuring we optimized our portfolio structure. We’ll definitely be back for our next phase of growth.
David & Sarah K. | Rental Portfolio Builders
Super customer service!
Most lenders don’t understand vacation rental income, but EquityMax has specialized knowledge in this space. Their DSCR program allowed me to finance my beach property based on its Airbnb income potential rather than treating it like a traditional rental. Incredibly smooth process from application to closing.
