What Our Partners Say
I’ve worked with Archwest Capital on both a bridge loan and a full construction loan, and their team, led by Danny, consistently goes above and beyond. As a developer in the valley, having a reliable lending partner is crucial—and Archwest delivers with outstanding service, accessibility, and a proactive mindset. Danny once took my call on a Saturday and had everything I needed in my inbox by Monday, showing his genuine commitment to clients. Most recently, they helped us close a complex deal with overseas owners, coordinating late-night calls, Zooms, and emails to get it done smoothly. Their dedication and flexibility have made a lasting impression.

Developer
If getting a loan was an Olympic sport, Justin would take home the gold—while answering emails mid-victory lap. He’s the kind of lender who actually picks up the phone, responds faster than our morning coffee kicks in, and somehow makes the whole process dare I say enjoyable.
Need a lender who gets ish done? Justin’s your guy. Need one who keeps things smooth and stress-free? Still Justin. Need one who can time travel to close deals at warp speed? I’m pretty sure he’s working on that too.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for a lender who’s a pleasure to work with and makes financing feel effortless, call Justin. Just don’t ask him to slow down—he physically can’t.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Lightbody & Jennifer Tran on numerous transactions and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. They are both incredibly professional, responsive and knowledgeable. They are always ahead of the game during the funding process, and always make sure the loan gets funded as smoothly as possible. They are both a DREAM to work with. I cant recommend them both enough!

I used Archwest to help fund a large transaction involving multiple new construction homes. It was not a typical project, but we were able to close on time.
I’d highly recommend collaborating with Archwest on any real estate projects.

Archwest is the best lender for Indianapolis rental investors who are ready to scale. We help clients execute with speed and maximize cash flow.
How It Works
Debt Service Coverage Ratio
We measure the ratio of your rental income to your debt obligations. For a DSCR of 1.20, rental income must comfortably cover your loan payments (120% of debt service), easing stress on cash flow.
Income Analysis
We use scheduled rents (vs. owner occupancy) and market comparables to calculate realistic net operating income (NOI).
Loan Structure & Underwriting
We underwrite based on NOI, not personal income. This lets investors qualify based on property performance—ideal for investors with strong rental assets but limited W-2 income.
Funding & Closing
Upon DSCR approval, we offer flexible terms and rates. Once accepted, we coordinate title, appraisal, and closing—usually 2-3 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions About
DSCR Loans in Indianapolis
What is a DSCR loan and how does it work?
A DSCR loan, or Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan, is a type of financing for investment properties that qualifies the borrower based on the property’s rental income relative to its debt obligations. The formula is: DSCR = Gross Monthly Rent / Monthly PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA dues). If the ratio is 1.0 or higher, the property’s income covers the debt.
What is the typical DSCR requirement for a rental property?
While Archwest Capital can finance loans with a DSCR as low as 0.75x, most properties that cash flow well will have a ratio of 1.0x or higher. A higher DSCR typically leads to more favorable loan terms and a lower interest rate.
Do I need to provide tax returns or personal income for a DSCR loan?
No. The primary benefit of a DSCR loan is that qualification is based on the cash flow of the investment property, not the borrower’s personal income, employment history, or tax returns. This makes it ideal for self-employed individuals and investors with complex financial structures.
Can I use a DSCR loan for a multifamily property?
Yes. Archwest Capital provides DSCR financing for various investment property types, including single-family residences (SFRs), Condo, Townhome, 2–4 Plex, multifamily up to 9 units, and short-term rentals.
How does a DSCR loan differ from a conventional mortgage?
Conventional mortgages require extensive personal income documentation (W-2s, tax returns) and focus on the borrower’s debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. A DSCR loan requires no personal income proof, focusing instead on the property’s DSCR. This allows investors to scale their portfolio more quickly and easily.
