Get Paid on Your Borrowers' Exits -
Up to 1% on Funded DSCR Loans

You fund the fix-and-flip. We finance the exit - a DSCR refinance for your borrower, or a DSCR purchase loan for the investor buying from them. Earn referral fees when your borrower closes a DSCR loan through DSCRFlow, originated by a direct lender licensed in your borrower's property state.

No license required • No minimum volume • Paid on funded loans • 50-state compliance framework

Three Steps to Get Paid

1
Refer

Tell your borrower - or the investor buying from them - about DSCR financing through DSCRFlow. Share your unique referral link or pass their contact info. That's all.

2
We Close

A direct lender licensed in the property state handles the entire loan process - application, underwriting, disclosures, funding. You don't negotiate terms, take applications, or process paperwork.

3
You Get Paid

When the loan funds, your referral fee is deposited within 15 business days. Track everything in your dashboard.

How the program works day-to-day

One link, every deal.

You get a single referral link at sign-up. It covers BOTH exits: your borrower's refinance takeout and the buyer's purchase loan when they sell. Put it in your payoff letters, exit conversations, listing packets, and email signature — every borrower who applies through it is automatically tracked to you. No per-deal links to create, ever.

Referrals appear on their own.

The moment your borrower submits an application, a referral shows up in your dashboard with the property, loan amount, and application status — and you get an email. Status updates automatically as the loan moves forward.

Your compensation option, per deal.

Each referral starts on the option you elected at sign-up. You can switch it for that deal in your dashboard until 2 business days after the borrower applies — then it locks. Options available depend on the property state (see the table below).

What your borrower experiences — with your brand on it.

Your referral link lands on a page carrying YOUR logo and company name, then a guided application with a 60-second qualification check, secure document upload, and a portal that tracks the loan to closing — with a "referred by {your company}" line throughout. Prefer to stay behind the scenes? Share the plain link and borrowers see DSCRFlow branding only. Payouts are identical either way.

What we never ask you to do.

No taking applications, quoting rates or terms, negotiating, or collecting loan documents. You make the introduction; a direct lender licensed in the property state does the lending. That split is what keeps the program compliant in every state.

Getting paid.

Fees are earned only when a loan funds, and pay out within 15 business days of funding to the payment method on file. Your dashboard shows estimated amounts per referral from day one and locked amounts at funding.

Choose Your Compensation Model

Depending on your borrower's property state, you have up to three options - and you can pick per deal.

OPTION 1
1.0% to you
Full referral fee. Borrower receives no credit. Available in most states.

Example ($500k loan): $5,000 to you
OPTION 2
0.5% + 0.5% split
You receive 0.5%; your borrower receives a 0.5% lender credit at closing. Available in most states.

Example ($500k loan): $2,500 to you + $2,500 to borrower
OPTION 3
1.0% to borrower
Your borrower receives a 1% lender credit at closing; you receive no fee. A goodwill builder for repeat business.

Example ($500k loan): $5,000 credit to borrower

Your dashboard shows which options are available for each referral based on the borrower's property location.

What we handle
  • All loan disclosures and processing

The legal foundation.

All loans in this program are business-purpose DSCR loans for non-owner-occupied investment properties - typically to LLC borrowers. Federal consumer mortgage laws (RESPA Section 8, TILA, SAFE Act) contain exemptions for business-purpose loans under Regulation Z (12 CFR 1026.3(a)) and Regulation X (12 CFR 1024.5(b)(2)). This is the same legal structure used across the DSCR lending industry.

State-by-state design.

🟢 Green states (25): full payout flexibility - Option 1, 2, or 3 (in California, Option 1 is a flat $2,000 per funded referral).
🟡 Yellow states (15): all options with enhanced compliance documentation.
🔴 Red states (10): Option 3 only (borrower lender credit). In three states - North Dakota, Utah, and Vermont - no commission or lender credit is currently available, though referrals are still accepted.
The system automatically shows what's available for each referral - referrals are accepted in all 50 states.

Licensing & registration.

DSCRFlow is a marketing and technology platform. All loan origination is performed by a direct lender licensed to operate in the property state. Referral fees are paid by DSCRFlow for marketing and referral services.

This summary is for informational purposes. Every referral relationship is governed by a written agreement. This is not legal advice. Consult your attorney with specific compliance questions.

Private Lender FAQ

No. Your role is limited to referring borrowers and marketing the program. You don't negotiate terms, take applications, or process loans. All licensed activities are handled by a direct lender licensed to operate in the property state.

Yes - every partner gets a co-branded landing page: your logo and company name up top, your accent color, and a 'referred by' line through the borrower's portal. Upload your logo from the dashboard and it's live immediately. The loan itself always closes through DSCRFlow's platform with a direct lender licensed in the property state - that disclosure stays, which is what lets you offer this without a mortgage license. Prefer no co-branding? Share the plain link and borrowers see DSCRFlow only. Compensation is identical either way.

Both. Many exits are sales - your borrower sells the finished property to an investor who buys it with a DSCR loan. Refer the BUYER through your same link: you earn the same referral fee, and you keep visibility on the exit that pays off your loan. Refinance takeouts work exactly the same way.

Referral fees (Option 1 and 2) are paid via ACH or check within 15 business days of loan funding. You have a dashboard showing all referrals and their status.

Referrals are accepted in all 50 states. In red-tier states you can still offer Option 3 - a 1% lender credit to your borrower at closing. In North Dakota, Utah, and Vermont, no commission or lender credit is currently available; the dashboard shows exactly what applies for each referral.

Yes, within the terms of your referral agreement. Marketing must comply with applicable advertising rules and must not misrepresent you as a licensed lender.

Standard DSCRFlow minimums apply (generally $100,000). There's no minimum referral volume or quota.

If you personally own investment property and need DSCR financing, apply through the standard process. The RTL program is for referring third-party borrowers.

No fee is earned. Referral fees are paid only on funded loans.
