The borrower entered escrow on a renovated four-unit rental property in Los Angeles with a capital structure that immediately disqualified the deal at most lenders.
Instead of a single guarantor funding the equity, the down payment was sourced from more than a dozen limited partners, all participating under one operating agreement.
Why other lenders walked away
Brick City Capital specializes in DSCR financing for investors who value certainty.
- Required seasoned funds across all contributors
- Mandatory 90-day account histories
- Restrictions on LLC member count
- Requests to simplify or restructure ownership
"Most lenders would have re-underwritten this deal the moment they saw the operating agreement. We treated the structure as a solvable"

Selecting the right DSCR program on day one
When the file reached Brick City Capital, the loan officers focused on program fit before pricing.
Instead of chasing the lowest theoretical rate, the team identified a DSCR structure that:
- Accepted multi-member LLCs
- Did not require seasoning
- Could clear credit and title without retrade risk
- Matched the borrower’s actual timeline
“There were cheaper structures available on paper, but they would never have survived committee. We priced the deal honestly from the start so intake terms and closing terms were identical.”
