We run your deal across 200+ lenders. Gonzales investor files need a lender comfortable with rural Monterey County.
DSCR underwriting lives and dies on the rent schedule. Get a real market rent analysis before you apply.
Fix-and-flip buyers should look at hard money or bridge loans first — then refi into DSCR once the property is stabilized.
Conventional investment loans cap out at 10 financed properties. Non-QM has no such ceiling.
Hard money closes faster but costs more. DSCR is slower but cheaper long-term. The right tool depends on your exit.
Gonzales is a small city with a tight rental pool. Vacancy risk is real — your rent projections need to be conservative.

Not on DSCR or most non-QM investor loans. The property's cash flow does the heavy lifting on those programs.
