Frequently Asked Questions from Novato Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Novato investors?
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are designed specifically for real estate investors. Instead of verifying personal income, we qualify the loan based on the rental income generated by the investment property covering its mortgage payments. This makes it perfect for Novato investors seeking to grow their portfolio without the strict income requirements of traditional banks, especially for stable rental markets in areas like Hamilton or Vintage Oaks.
How fast can I get funded for an investment property in Novato?
While DSCR loans involve a bit more traditional underwriting than hard money, we've streamlined our process for efficiency. For qualified Novato investment properties, we typically close loans within 15-25 business days. Our aim is to help you secure desirable rental properties without undue delays.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Novato?
We specialize in DSCR loans for various residential investment properties in Novato. This includes single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-plexes, and small multi-family apartment buildings up to 20 units. Our focus is on the property's income potential and suitability as a rental, not owner-occupancy.
Do you require an appraisal for Novato investment properties?
Yes, for DSCR loans, an appraisal is typically required to accurately assess the property's current market value and to determine the current market rental income. This ensures the Debt Service Coverage Ratio calculation is accurate and provides essential data for both the borrower and lender. We work with trusted local appraisers to ensure a timely and accurate valuation for your Novato property.
