Don’t Shut Down: How DSCR Investors Can Win Big in Early 2026 Ep 361

If you’re winding down 2025 and didn’t hit your DSCR goals, you’re not alone. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan talks about why so many investors and wholesalers shut down the last 4–6 weeks of the year—and how that decision quietly puts them weeks or even months behind when 2026 starts.​

He breaks down real DSCR timelines from current deals, why most new contracts in late December won’t close until January anyway, and how to use that gap to your advantage by putting deals under contract now, ordering appraisals, and lining up lenders so you open the year with momentum instead of trying to restart a cold engine.​

You’ll also hear why deal flow = revenue = profit, what happens to investors who go dark until March, and how Ryan is approaching 2026 differently—expanding from 1–4 unit DSCR loans into 5–8 units and apartments, and building a bigger team to serve more investors at a higher level.​

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth pushing through the holidays or if you’re thinking about your own 2026 investing goals, this conversation will help you think more strategically about timing, financing, and growth.
