Question 1

Can I use projected rent on a Long Beach property I just bought?

Accepted Answer

Most DSCR lenders need a signed lease or appraisal rent schedule. You can't use your own projections until a tenant is in place paying market rate.

Question 2

Do investor loans work on Long Beach condos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but fewer lenders approve them and rates run higher. Warrantable condos only—no hotels, no short-term rental buildings, no litigation against the HOA.

Question 3

How many Long Beach properties can I finance with DSCR loans?

Accepted Answer

No hard limit with portfolio lenders. We've closed clients with 15+ financed properties using DSCR programs that don't count toward conventional caps.

Question 4

What if my Long Beach rental property doesn't hit 1.25x debt coverage?

Accepted Answer

Some lenders go down to 1.0x with higher rates or larger down payments. Below that, you'll need to show personal income or increase your down payment.

Question 5

Can I do a cash-out refinance on my Long Beach rental?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DSCR cash-out programs let you pull equity without income docs. Expect 70-75% max LTV and 6-12 months of seasoning required after purchase.
