How it works

From listing to letter in one sitting.

Kevo checks your deal against the lender's actual guidelines while you answer, so the answer you get is one you can act on.

  1. Tell it the deal

    Enter the address, price and rent. Kevo estimates taxes, insurance and HOA, and you can correct anything that's off.

  2. Verify, don't guess

    A soft credit check, a read-only bank connection and a property-records check of your experience. If a number doesn't work, Kevo shows you the fix, like 25% down instead of 20%.

  3. Get your letter

    A verified 3-page approval letter for this property and price, ready to go to your agent with your offer.

Why investors use Kevo

A real answer, without the runaround.

Income

No tax returns

Investment loans qualify on what the property earns. Self-employed or not, your returns stay in the drawer.

Credit

No score impact

A soft credit check, so finding out where you stand costs you nothing.

Clarity

See the fix

If something doesn't fit, Kevo tells you which rule and what would change the answer.

Proof

Verified, not guessed

Credit, funds and experience are checked before your letter is issued, so sellers can take it seriously.

Ownership

Your name or your LLC

Close the way you hold your properties.

People

No sales calls

Real experts are a tap away when you want them. Nobody chases you when you don't.

What most lenders don't say

Their sales team is built into your rate.

Most lenders pay someone to walk you through forms and chase paperwork. Kevo's AI does that legwork, so you're not paying for the pitch.

Less overhead.Sharper rates.Lower fees.
Fully Underwritten

Up against cash? Compete like cash.

Choose Fully Underwritten and your file is signed off by underwriting before you make an offer, so your offer can go in without a loan contingency.

Offer A

All cash

  • No loan contingency
  • Fast close
Your offer

Kevo Fully Underwritten

  • No loan contingency
  • Underwriting sign-off before you offer
  • Your cash stays working

Fully Underwritten approvals remain subject to appraisal, title and no material changes. Waiving a contingency carries risk, so talk it through with your agent.

Questions

Before you start.

Still deciding? Ask Kevo anything inside the app, any time.

What is a DSCR loan?

An investment-property loan that qualifies on the property's rent compared with its monthly payment (the debt service coverage ratio), instead of your personal income or tax returns.

Will checking affect my credit score?

No. Kevo uses a soft credit check, which doesn't affect your score.

What do I need to get started?

The property address, price and expected rent. Then you'll confirm your credit, connect a bank account (read-only) and tell Kevo about any investment properties you own now or have owned.

What kinds of properties qualify?

Investment properties only: single-family homes and townhomes, condos, and 2–4 unit buildings. Kevo doesn't finance primary residences or second homes.

Can I close in my LLC?

Yes. You can close in your own name or in your LLC.

Pre-approved or Fully Underwritten: what's the difference?

A pre-approval verifies your credit, funds and experience against the lender's guidelines. Fully Underwritten adds underwriting sign-off before you offer, which is strong enough that many buyers choose to waive the loan contingency. Both remain subject to appraisal and title.

Do I have to talk to anyone?

No. You can go from address to letter on your own. A real person is available whenever you want one.
