DSCR is the workhorse loan for Costa Mesa rentals. If the rent covers 1.0-1.25x the mortgage, most lenders fund it.
Fix-and-flip deals move fast here. Hard money closes in days. DSCR refinances once the property is stabilized.
Conventional investment loans cap at 10 financed properties and require full income docs. DSCR has neither limit.
