Every guide on this site, one screen. Program pages carry the mechanics; metro pages carry the local numbers and permit rules; all figures are dated and registry-verified.
Loan programs
- DSCR loans: qualify on the property's rent; no tax returns; LLC-friendly.
- Investor cash-out refinance: no homestead-only cap in Alabama; BRRRR seasoning and the low-tax advantage.

- LLC lending: close in the entity; how Alabama's series LLC (Article 11) holds a multi-property portfolio.
- Portfolio + 2–4 unit + foreign national: the 10-loan conventional cap and what is past it.
