Why Core Azimuth Lending
Built for investors who move fast and expect their lender to keep up.

Most lenders slow deals down. We're structured to do the opposite. From the first conversation to the closing table, every part of our process is designed around one goal: getting you to close quickly, cleanly, and on your terms.

Fast closings, every time
We understand that timing is everything in real estate. We prioritize speed at every stage — without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.
A personalized approach to your deal
No two deals are the same. We take the time to understand your strategy, your portfolio, and your goals — then structure financing that actually fits.
Direct access to your lender
You speak directly with the decision-maker — not a broker, not a call center. One point of contact, clear communication, no runaround.
What we bring to the table

We price to win your business. Our rates are structured to keep your cost of capital low — so more of your deal's upside stays where it belongs: with you. Every quote is straightforward, with no hidden fees or last-minute surprises at the closing table.

Streamlined Underwriting

Our underwriting process is built for speed without cutting corners. We focus on the deal — the property, the numbers, and your track record — not endless paperwork. Decisions come back in one business day so you can move with confidence when the window is open.

Fast Closings

We know how important it is to move with a purpose. Most of our deals close in just 10–15 days, so a slow lender never costs you the deal you worked hard to find. No unnecessary delays — just a process built to get you to the closing table fast.

FAQ
DSCR Loan Questions
What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR loan helps real estate investors qualify for financing using the income generated by the investment property itself — not the borrower's personal income. This makes it an ideal product for investors who are self-employed, have complex tax returns, or simply prefer to let the property's cash flow speak for itself.

How is DSCR calculated?

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated as the property's Gross Rent divided by PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and Association dues) or ITIA where applicable. A DSCR of 1.00x means the property's income exactly covers its obligations. Above 1.00x indicates positive cash flow.

DSCR = Gross Rent  ÷  PITIA / ITIA
What is LTV?

Loan-to-Value (LTV) is calculated as the Loan Amount divided by the "As Is" appraised value of the property. For acquisitions, LTV is defined as the loan amount divided by the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price — protecting both the borrower and lender from overpaying into a deal.

LTV = Loan Amount  ÷  As Is Appraised Value
