Frequently Asked Questions from San Diego Rental Investors
What is a Rental Loan (DSCR Loan) and why is it ideal for San Diego?
A Rental Loan, often a DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan, is designed for investment properties where the loan qualification is based primarily on the property's rental income covering its mortgage payments. It's ideal for San Diego investors because it allows you to scale your portfolio without stringent personal income documentation, making it perfect for buy & hold strategies, even if you have multiple properties.
How fast can I get funded for a rental property in San Diego?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified San Diego rental projects, we can often fund loans in 10-20 business days, significantly faster than many traditional banks. This speed is crucial for securing properties and reacting quickly to market opportunities in the San Diego area.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in San Diego?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment properties across San Diego, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and even properties intended for short-term rentals. Our focus is on the property's income potential, not just the borrower's personal financial history.
Do you require an appraisal for San Diego rental properties?
Yes, a standard appraisal is typically required for San Diego rental loans to determine the property's fair market value. However, we work with efficient, local appraisers and a streamlined process to minimize delays, ensuring your loan moves forward as quickly as possible.
