Research notes

Found on kiavi.com/loans/dscr and /loans/rental: "DSCR as low as 0.8x" (footnoted, so likely tier-dependent), "Up to 80% LTV" (not broken out by transaction type; 80 is recorded for purchase and rate-term, cash-out max LTV not stated so null), eligible types "Single-family rentals, PUDs, 2-4 unit properties, and condos" non-owner-occupied, "30-year fixed rates", "5/1 + 7/1 ARMs fully amortizing", "Interest-only options", "No prepayment penalty after year 3", cash-out refi "after 90 days of ownership, or on free-and-clear properties" (recorded as 3 months), "No minimum liquidity requirement" (recorded as reservesMonths 0), rent qualified at "lower of 110% of appraised market rent and your valid lease rent", "Rates as low as 6.125%". NOT found: min FICO, min/max loan amount, state list (homepage says 49 states + DC but excluded state not named), STR policy, entity/LLC, foreign national, first-time investor rules, max loans. The 5/1 and 7/1 ARMs do not map to the brief's arm_5_6/arm_7_6 vocabulary (those are 6-month reset ARMs), so only 30_fixed is recorded in rateTypes; ARMs are noted here. entityAllowed/individualAllowed/firstTimeInvestorAllowed are true and strAllowed/foreignNationalAllowed/itinAllowed/noRatioAllowed false by the brief's silence rule. No guideline matrix or PDF exists on the public site.
