Hard Money & DSCR Loans in Tampa

Tampa has been one of the strongest investor markets in the country. We fund the strategies that work.

Pimlico Capital funds bridge and 30-year DSCR rental loans across Tampa. The city's bungalow and small-multifamily inventory, combined with steady rental demand from new residents, makes it one of the most reliable fix-and-flip and BRRRR markets in Florida. We close in as little as 5–7 business days.

Local Expertise

What we actually know about Tampa

A non-exhaustive list of the Tampa-specific things we deal with every day.

  • Tampa's permitting process and how to schedule draw inspections around it.
  • Wind-mitigation (HVHZ) requirements for South Florida-grade properties.
  • Hillsborough County rental registration for DSCR holds.
  • FEMA flood zones — Tampa has more flood-zone properties than most investors realize.
  • Historic district overlays in Ybor and parts of Seminole Heights.
  • Property insurance market — Tampa premiums and how to model them into DSCR.

Why local knowledge matters

A national lender with a call center won't know that a Tampa deal has its own underwriting quirks. We've closed thousands of deals across our footprint — and we've learned from every local curveball.
