Build-to-rent is a smart strategy: you build new rental properties from scratch, designed specifically for tenants—not for sale.
It's popular with investors who want:
Brand new properties with no deferred maintenance
Built to rent-optimized specs (durable finishes, efficient layouts)
Long-term cash flow from day one
Portfolio growth through construction instead of buying existing inventory
The challenge? You need construction financing to build, then rental property financing once it's done.
At Springwell Capital, we handle both. We fund the construction phase, then seamlessly transition you to long-term DSCR rental financing when the property is complete and rented.
One lender. Two phases. Zero hassle.
We finance build-to-rent projects across Florida—from single-family rentals in Orlando to small rental communities in Tampa to build-to-rent developments in Jacksonville.
Construction + Rental Expertise
We understand both phases. Our founder is a builder who also invests in rentals. We know how to structure construction financing AND how to underwrite rental properties. You get expertise in both worlds.
Seamless Transition
You don’t need to scramble for a new lender when construction is done. We handle the transition from construction loan to rental loan internally. Less paperwork, less stress, faster execution.
Built for Portfolio Builders
If you’re building multiple rentals (which most build-to-rent investors are), we can structure financing to scale with you. Finance one property, then two, then five. We grow with your portfolio.
Brand New = Less Maintenance
New construction means no surprise repairs, no old systems to replace, and warranties on everything. Lower maintenance costs for years.
Built for Renters
You control the design. Build with durable finishes, efficient layouts, and features renters actually want—not what the previous owner thought was cool in 1995.
Long-Term Cash Flow
New rentals command higher rents and attract better tenants. You're building income-producing assets designed to perform for decades.
We fund the construction of your rental property:
Purchase the land (if needed)
Finance construction costs
Custom draw schedule based on your build timeline
Interest reserves to preserve your cash flow
You build the property. We release funds as you hit construction milestones.
Once construction is complete and the property is rented:
We transition you to DSCR long-term rental financing
No need to find a new lender
Based on rental income (no personal income verification needed)
Long-term loan designed for cash flow
Result: You go from construction to collecting rent with the same lender—seamless and simple.

A: This is called the "lease-up period." We build a transition plan to account for this gap. Typically you finish construction, get a tenant (1-2 months), then we convert to the rental loan. We plan for this upfront.
A: Yes, if you have the experience and capacity. Many build-to-rent investors build 2-5 properties at a time. We structure financing to match your build capacity and timeline.
A: This is why we analyze rental comps upfront. We make sure you're building in a market where rental demand is strong. If lease-up takes longer than expected, we have flexibility built in—but proper planning usually prevents this.
A: It helps. Build-to-rent is an advanced strategy that combines construction AND landlording. If you're experienced in either (or both), we can work with you. If you're brand new to both, this might not be the right starting point.
A: Statewide. From Pensacola to Miami, Tallahassee to Naples—if rental demand is strong in that market and the numbers work, we're interested.
