Ohio is an active investor market with real structural friction. Judicial timelines, top-ten tax loads, and older industrial-city stock directly shape how DSCR loans here are underwritten and structured.
Brick City Capital provides DSCR loans in Ohio for brokers and investor clients where the structure of the deal is the real obstacle even when borrower credit is strong. As a DSCR lender built for complex files, we underwrite to how the asset actually performs in Ohio's market.

Across Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and Akron, investor demand is strong. But Ohio's court-driven foreclosure process, tax load, and housing stock introduce structural realities that materially affect underwriting:
A court-driven judicial foreclosure process that lengthens recovery timelines and shapes risk modeling.
Among the highest effective property taxes in the nation, compressing DSCR ratios on every file.
Older stock across Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo, where condition separates the comps street by street.
Appraisal variability across city neighborhoods where condition and tax levies swing district to district.
High investor concentration in rental corridors and individual buildings beyond conventional limits.
Renovated and repositioned assets carrying no stabilized rental operating history behind them.
In this environment, qualification is rarely about income alone. It’s about how the deal is structured around tax exposure, concentration limits, and timeline risk.
Each structural reality above has a specific underwriting answer on a Ohio file.

When a hard file closes the way you told your client it would, your credibility comes out intact.
