Truckee attracts short-term rental investors like few California mountain towns do. Proximity to Tahoe ski resorts keeps demand high year-round.
Conventional financing rarely fits investor deals here. Most Truckee investors need non-QM programs built around property income, not W-2s.

DSCR loans qualify you on rental income, not your tax returns. Most lenders want a debt service coverage ratio at or above 1.0.
Credit minimums typically sit around 620-660 for investor programs. Down payments usually start at 20-25% on investment properties.
Most banks won't touch short-term rental income for qualification. Wholesale lenders built for non-QM deals are where Truckee investors get funded.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. That means we can shop DSCR, hard money, and bridge programs side by side for your deal.
Airbnb and VRBO rental histories now count with many non-QM lenders. Platform income reports can substitute for traditional lease agreements.
Fix-and-flip deals in Truckee move fast. Hard money closes in days, not weeks — that matters when competing for limited mountain inventory.
DSCR loans suit buy-and-hold rental investors. Hard money fits flips or distressed acquisitions where you plan to refinance out quickly.
Bridge loans work when you're buying property two before selling property one. Each program has a specific use case — stacking them wrong costs money.
Truckee sits in Nevada County. Some lenders flag mountain resort areas as higher risk, which tightens LTV limits or adds rate adjustments.
Nevada County has no special transfer tax, but short-term rental permits through the Town of Truckee are required. Confirm permit status before closing.
Yes, with the right lender. Many non-QM DSCR lenders accept short-term rental platform income with 12-24 months of documented history.
Most investor loan programs require 20-25% down. Resort-area lenders may push that to 30% depending on property type.
Hard money can close in 5-10 business days in many cases. Speed depends on clear title and a clean appraisal or BPO.
Some lenders apply resort-area overlays in Nevada County. This can reduce max LTV or add a rate adjustment. We know which lenders don't.
Most DSCR lenders require a 620-660 minimum. Higher scores get better pricing. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Yes. DSCR lenders evaluate the property's income potential. STR projections from a licensed appraiser or rental history support the file.
