San Francisco's rental market is robust, offering strong income potential, but navigating traditional financing can be a hurdle for active investors.

- Flexible Terms & Investor-Centric: We offer competitive rates and flexible terms tailored for various investment strategies in SF, including long-term rentals, short-term rentals, and portfolio expansion. Get approved based on the asset's cash flow, not your DTI.

Frequently Asked Questions from San Francisco DSCR Loan Clients
What is a DSCR Loan and why is it ideal for San Francisco residential investors?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) that qualifies borrowers primarily based on the rental income generated by the investment property, rather than the borrower's personal income, W2s, or tax returns. For San Francisco's high-value, high-demand rental market, DSCR loans are ideal because they allow investors to acquire or refinance residential properties quickly, expand their portfolios without income verification hurdles, and leverage the strong cash flow potential of SF rentals.
How fast can I get funded for an investment property in San Francisco with a DSCR loan?
While typically not as rapid as hard money loans, DSCR loans are significantly faster and less burdensome than traditional bank mortgages. For qualified San Francisco investment properties, we aim to close within 15-30 business days. This expedited process is crucial for securing competitive deals and expanding your portfolio in SF's dynamic real estate market.
What types of residential investment properties do you lend on in SF with DSCR loans?
We specialize in DSCR financing for a broad range of residential investment properties across San Francisco, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-plexes, small multi-family properties up to 20 units, condos, and townhomes. We also offer DSCR loans for both long-term and short-term (vacation) rental properties, focusing on the asset's rental income potential and viability in the SF market.
Do DSCR loans in San Francisco require personal income verification or tax returns?
One of the primary advantages of our DSCR loan program is that we do NOT require personal income verification, W2s, or tax returns. Qualification is primarily based on the property's ability to generate sufficient rental income to cover its mortgage payments (its Debt Service Coverage Ratio). This simplifies the application process significantly for active investors in the San Francisco market, making it easier to qualify for multiple investment properties.
