Frequently Asked Questions from Redwood City Rental Property Investors

What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Redwood City?

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) product designed for real estate investors. It qualifies the borrower based on the subject property's projected rental income rather than the borrower's personal income or employment. This is ideal for the Redwood City market as it allows investors to scale their portfolios quickly without traditional income documentation, perfect for leveraging the strong rental demand driven by the tech sector.

How fast can I get funded for a rental property in Redwood City using a DSCR loan?

While DSCR loans are faster and more flexible than conventional bank loans, they typically involve a more traditional closing timeline than hard money. For qualified Redwood City rental projects, we aim to close within 15-25 business days. This speed is a significant advantage over conventional mortgages, helping you capitalize on Redwood City's competitive investment opportunities.

What types of rental properties do you lend on in RWC with DSCR?

We lend on a wide range of residential investment property types across Redwood City and the surrounding areas. This includes single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (5-8 units), condos, townhomes, and properties intended for short-term rental (STR) or vacation rental use.

Do DSCR loans for Redwood City properties require an appraisal?

Yes, traditional appraisals are standard for DSCR loans. An appraisal is necessary to accurately determine the property's current market value and to assess its rental income potential, which are key factors in calculating the Loan-to-Value (LTV) and Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) for your Redwood City investment.
