Frequently Asked Questions from Los Angeles Clients
What is a rental loan (DSCR loan) and why is it ideal for Los Angeles investors?
A rental loan, especially a DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan, is a financing solution for non-owner occupied investment properties. It's ideal for the Los Angeles market because it allows investors to qualify based on the property's rental income covering the mortgage payment, rather than their personal income. This streamlines the process, bypasses common DTI hurdles, and enables faster portfolio growth in a competitive market with high property values.
How fast can I get funded for an LA rental property?
While not as fast as hard money, our rental loan process is significantly quicker than traditional bank financing. For qualified Los Angeles projects, we can often fund loans within 15-30 business days, helping you secure desirable rental properties and quickly generate cash flow.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in LA?
We lend on a wide range of non-owner occupied residential investment properties across Los Angeles, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), condos, and townhouses. Our focus is on the property's ability to generate strong rental income.
Do you require an appraisal for Los Angeles rental properties?
Yes, for long-term rental loans, a standard appraisal is typically required to assess the property's market value and ensure a sound investment. We work with a network of efficient and reliable appraisers in the Los Angeles area to help expedite this process without sacrificing thoroughness.
