Investor loans make sense in Inglewood when you're buying a rental property with solid cash flow. At $797,000 median price, a 4-unit building could work if rents cover your mortgage and reserves.
The 85 percent loan-to-value cap means you'll need meaningful equity. That's a real constraint on lower-priced rentals, but it protects your investment by keeping you skin-in-the-game.

Owner-occupied loans let you live in the property and carry lower down payments. Investor loans require more equity but finance rental portfolios and multi-unit buildings.
The trade-off is straightforward: put more money down on an investor loan, but you can finance multiple properties and build rental income. Owner-occupied financing is tighter on the second property.
