Frequently Asked Questions from Los Angeles Rental Property Investors
What is a DSCR Rental Loan and why is it ideal for Los Angeles?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan designed for real estate investors, where qualification is based primarily on the rental income generated by the property, not your personal income. It's ideal for the Los Angeles market due to strong rental demand, allowing investors to scale their portfolios quickly, qualify for multiple properties, and easily refinance existing rental units without traditional employment verification.
How fast can I get funded for a rental property in Los Angeles?
We prioritize efficiency for Los Angeles rental property investors. For qualified, income-generating properties, we can often fund loans in as little as 7-15 business days. Our streamlined process focuses on the property's financials and market rents, speeding up approvals compared to conventional bank financing.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in LA?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment properties across Los Angeles, including single-family homes (SFR), 2-4 unit multi-family properties, small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), condos, townhomes, and properties with legal Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Our focus is on the property's ability to generate consistent rental income.
Do you require an appraisal for Los Angeles rental properties?
Yes, an appraisal is typically required to assess the property's market value and to determine the current market rental income, which is crucial for calculating the DSCR. However, we work with experienced local appraisers to ensure the process is as quick and efficient as possible, providing an accurate valuation that reflects LA's dynamic rental market.
