Research notes

FOUND on visiolending.com: minimum credit score 680 (lending-process page: 'we require a minimum credit score of 680', median of three bureaus, primary guarantor scored for entity borrowers; also in the short-term rental guide); purchase and refinance loans up to 80% LTV (broker program guide and short-term rental guide; recorded as purchase and rate-term, cash-out not separately stated so left null); minimum loan $75,000 and minimum property value $150,000 (short-term rental guide, stated for vacation rentals); 30-year fixed, no balloon; borrow under an LLC or corporation; 1-4 unit single-family residential and vacation rentals; home page map footnotes: entity REQUIRED in GA, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, PA and VA, and zero prepayment penalty required in NM, OH, MD, PA and RI. NOT FOUND: minimum DSCR (the DSCR guide only says investors 'should target' 1.2, which is advice, not a floor), sub-1.0 or no-ratio options, maximum loan, state footprint (the 'Where We Lend' map is interactive and its active-state list is not in the HTML text), reserves, seasoning, prepay structures offered, interest-only, ARMs, foreign national or ITIN policy, first-time investor policy. Booleans for sub-1.0, no-ratio, foreign national and ITIN are false and individual/first-time are true by the silence rule. Minimum tradeline requirements exist but are not quantified publicly; rate sheets are behind the broker portal.
