Who writes this
Korbin Spangenthal is Vice President and a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator at West Capital Lending, Inc. He holds NMLS #2079029 and California DRE #2178533, and is licensed to originate in 30 states. He is rated 4.96 out of 5 across 215 verified client reviews collected through Experience.com.
His practice concentrates on borrowers whose income is real but whose documentation is awkward — business owners, 1099 contractors, commission earners and real estate investors whose tax returns understate what they actually earn. A DSCR loan, which qualifies the property on its rent instead of the owner on a return, is the investment-property version of that focus, and the reason this site exists rather than a general mortgage blog.
You should not take his word for any of that. Verify the license on NMLS Consumer Access, the federal registry of mortgage originators, which is free and takes about thirty seconds.
Who West Capital Lending is
West Capital Lending, Inc. (NMLS #1566096, DRE #02022356) is a licensed mortgage brokerage headquartered at 17911 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 400, Irvine, CA 92614.
A broker is not a lender, and the distinction matters to you. A bank offers its own products and will decline you when your file does not fit them. A broker shops your file across multiple lenders and programs, which is precisely why an investor declined by their own bank often gets a different answer somewhere else without changing anything about the deal. The DSCR loans described throughout this site are business-purpose investment-property loans funded through West Capital Lending's wholesale lending partners; which lender fits depends on the property, the rent and the structure you want.
What this site is and is not
It is a marketing website. It exists because rental-property investors who cannot or would rather not document personal income are underserved, and because the questions they ask about DSCR loans are answered vaguely elsewhere. It is not a lender, it is not neutral, and you should read it knowing the author would like your business.
What it will not do is mislead you to get it.
The rules these pages are written under
- No rates, no fees, no percentages. Rates change constantly and depend on your file. A number published today would be wrong tomorrow and misleading in the meantime.
- No credit score minimums, no loan-to-value limits, no minimum ratio. Every DSCR program sets its own, they change, and publishing one discourages people who would have qualified on another.
- No promises about prepayment penalties or reserves. Both vary by program and by state. The pages here explain how they work; the actual terms are in your loan documents.
- No invented testimonials. Ratings shown are verified reviews collected through a third party and are attributed as such.
- Every product fact traces to a current lender guideline, and pages are updated when guidelines change rather than left to drift.
- The downsides are written down too. Several pages here explain when this is the wrong product. That is deliberate.

How do I verify the license?
Search NMLS #2079029 at nmlsconsumeraccess.org, the federal registry of mortgage loan originators. It is free, public, and shows licensing status by state. West Capital Lending's company license is NMLS #1566096.
Why are there no rates anywhere on this site?
Because a published rate is wrong almost immediately and depends heavily on your specific file. Quoting one would mean showing you a number you probably cannot get.
