Credit sets the leverage: 700 and up closes at 9.75% on 12.5% down, and under 620 the down payment steps up to 35%, $44,887 more at closing. Four completed deals at 700 and up drops the down payment to 10%, $4,980 less. Every figure includes the $5,000 realtor finder’s fee line and the $5,000 earnest money credit, which offset, and the appraisal line shows as waived.

The real term sheet for this purchase

The same $200,000 purchase at 700 and up credit, on a first deal and after four completed deals. Every fee is on the sheet, and every line says who gets paid: your equity, the lender, the title company, the insurer, the realtor, or the broker.

The gold broker line is the only money Capital Kings earns. The appraisal line is waived because the lender values the property in-house. The $5,000 realtor line is the agent’s own finder’s fee, paid by you and set between you and your agent, and comes off if nobody brought the deal, and your earnest money comes back as the credit under it. Proof of funds adds $8,531 of interest that stays in your account.

Can I buy my first investment property with one?

Most people buying a first investment property assume a lender wants a track record and a big down payment before it will fund one. On a purchase-only loan you need neither. A first purchase gets the same rate as a tenth: the loan is sized on the price you pay and what the house is worth today, and what the lender checks is your credit and the cash in your account.

CreditEvery band prices

700 and up gets 9.75% with 12.5% down, 680-699 gets 9.75% with 15% down, 620-679 gets 11% with 30% down, and under 620 gets 11% with 35% down on a first deal.

Cash12.5% plus costs

On the example that’s $25,000 down, $35,674 cash to close with every fee in, and $44,205 in the bank to show the lender.

The propertyUp to 75% of value

The loan can’t pass 75% of what the house is worth today. Buy at a discount and it never comes up. Pay close to retail and you bring the gap in cash.

ExperienceNone required

A first purchase prices the same as a tenth. Four completed deals at 700 and up drops the down payment to 10%, and experience raises leverage under 700 too.

Four mistakes first-time buyers make

  1. Paying close to retail. The loan is capped at 75% of the market value. On a $250,000 purchase of a $265,000 house that holds the loan to $198,750, so the down payment is $51,250 instead of $31,250.
  2. Using purchase-only for a real renovation. The loan funds no repairs. If the work adds square footage or is structural, lenders want it financed as a rehab or size the loan down. A fix and flip loan funds 100% of the rehab in draws.
  3. Budgeting cash to close and forgetting reserves. Lenders verify six months of interest on top of cash to close. On the example that’s $8,531 more in the bank.
  4. Waiting on paperwork. There’s no appraisal to wait on, so the closing date is set by your documents: the contract, two months of bank statements, LLC documents, ID and an insurance binder. Have them ready before you go under contract.

How is a purchase-only loan sized?

$200,000 −$25,000 down =$175,000 loan

87.5% of the purchase at 700 and up on a first deal, under 75% of the $265,000 market value ($198,750).

You bring $35,674 at closing with every fee in, and show $44,205 in the bank, which covers six months of interest. No tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs.

90% after four completed deals, 65% under 620 on a first deal, and never more than 90% of the purchase. Funded in full at closing: no rehab holdback, no draw schedule. Interest-only for 12 months.

What documents does the lender need?

  • Purchase contract and the property address.
  • Two months of bank statements showing cash to close and reserves.
  • LLC certificate of formation, EIN letter and operating agreement if you close in an entity.
  • Government ID.
  • Insurance quote or binder.
  • Settlement statements from completed deals, if you have them. Four or more lower the down payment at any credit.

Not on the list: an appraisal, a scope of work, tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs.

Texas purchase-only loan FAQ

What is a purchase-only loan?
A short-term, interest-only loan that funds the purchase of an investment property and nothing else. There’s no rehab holdback and no draws: the loan funds in full at closing. It’s sized on the purchase price and capped at 75% of what the property is worth today. Investors use it to buy at auction or off market, to close fast against cash offers, or to buy a house that needs only light work they will pay for themselves.
How much do I need to put down on a purchase-only loan in Texas?
12.5% of the purchase price at 700 or higher credit, dropping to 10% once you have four completed deals. At 680-699 it’s 15% down, at 620-679 30% on a first deal and less with experience (down to 15% at 10+ deals), and under 620 35% on a first deal. The loan is also capped at 75% of the market value, so if you pay close to retail the down payment grows: on a $250,000 purchase of a $265,000 house the cap holds the loan to $198,750 and you bring $51,250.
What credit score do I need for a purchase-only loan?
The instant term sheet prices every credit band. 680 or higher gets 9.75% with 1% origination, and under 680 gets 11%. Credit and experience set how much of the purchase is funded: 87.5% at 700 and up, 85% at 680-699, and 65% to 85% under 680. The term sheet uses the score you enter, with no credit pull. The lender pulls credit once, in underwriting.
Is there an appraisal on a purchase-only loan?
Not one you pay for. The lender behind these terms values the property in-house at no cost to you, so the appraisal line on the term sheet shows as waived. Some lenders in the network do order an appraisal, and if your deal goes to one of them the fee is on your term sheet before you sign.
Can I renovate the house with a purchase-only loan?
Light work, yes, as long as you pay for it. The loan doesn’t fund repairs. If the work adds square footage or is structural, lenders want it financed as a rehab loan or size the loan down, so a fix and flip loan is the better fit: it funds 100% of the rehab in draws.
How much cash do I need to close on a purchase-only loan?
On a $200,000 purchase at 700 or higher credit, first deal: $25,000 down, $2,000 origination, a $2,000 broker fee, $3,324 for Texas title, $1,900 for insurance, $749 in lender doc prep and $701 of prepaid interest, $35,674 in total. There’s no appraisal fee. Lenders also want $8,531 of interest reserves in the bank on top of it, $44,205 in total.
How fast can a purchase-only loan close in Texas?
There’s no appraisal to wait on and no scope of work to review, so the clock is mostly your documents: the purchase contract, two months of bank statements, LLC documents, ID and an insurance binder. A recent Houston purchase closed 5 business days after the application.
Purchase-only or fix and flip: which loan do I need?
If the house needs a renovation you want financed, a fix and flip loan funds up to 100% of the rehab in draws and is sized on the after repair value. If the house is rent-ready, needs only light work, or you plan to resell it as is, purchase-only is simpler: it funds in full at closing with no draw inspections and no appraisal fee.
What does Capital Kings charge on a purchase-only loan?
One broker fee: 1% of the loan amount, $2,000 minimum, $10,000 maximum, on the term sheet before you sign anything. That’s the only money Capital Kings earns. On bigger loans the broker fee is open to negotiation (never below the $2,000 minimum), and we agree on it with you before you sign anything. Everything else on the sheet goes to someone else, and each line says who. A realtor finder’s fee line ($5,000 by default, set to what your agent actually charges) is paid by you to your agent, not to Capital Kings, and comes off when no agent is on the deal, and your earnest money comes back to you as a credit at closing.
