Frequently Asked Questions from Altadena Rental Loan Clients
What is a DSCR rental loan and why is it ideal for Altadena investors?
A DSCR loan (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) is a non-QM loan designed for real estate investors. It qualifies you based on the rental income generated by the property, not your personal income, tax returns, or employment history. This makes it ideal for Altadena investors looking to expand their portfolio, especially those with multiple properties or non-traditional income sources, as it streamlines the qualification process for steady rental properties.
How fast can I get funded for an Altadena rental property with a DSCR loan?
While DSCR loans involve a more detailed underwriting process than hard money, Waterman Capital prides itself on efficiency. For qualified Altadena rental projects, we can often fund loans within 10-21 business days, significantly faster than typical conventional bank financing. This speed allows you to capitalize on investment opportunities without lengthy delays.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in Altadena?
We provide long-term financing for a wide range of residential rental properties in Altadena, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties (duplexes, triplexes, quads), and small apartment buildings with up to 20 units. Our focus is on the property's ability to generate stable rental income and its long-term investment potential.
Do you require an appraisal for Altadena rental properties?
Yes, DSCR rental loans typically require a full appraisal to determine the market value and ensure the property's projected rental income is accurate. We work with experienced appraisers who understand the Altadena market to ensure a smooth and timely valuation process, which is a standard part of securing long-term rental financing.
