Tampa DSCR and fix and flip loans for first-time investors, with credit scores as low as 520 considered.
You do not need a completed Tampa deal to start a serious financing conversation. Mayday reviews the Tampa property, the rent or renovation plan, and your exit together, including programs that may consider credit scores as low as 520.
First-time Tampa investors
No prior investment deal is required for eligible programs — your first Tampa rental or rehab can be reviewed on the strength of the property, resources, team, and exit.
Credit scores from 520
Mayday programs may consider credit scores as low as 520 for Tampa investors, subject to full underwriting.
Human deal review
A real reviewer looks at the Tampa property, budget or rent, available funds, project team, and exit together.
A 520 credit score is a program minimum, not an approval guarantee. Eligibility, pricing, leverage, reserves, documentation, property quality, and exit strategy affect qualification. All financing is subject to underwriting and final approval.
