Investor loans don't care about your W-2. Lenders qualify you on the property's income or your asset base.
Most banks won't touch investor deals past four properties. Wholesale non-QM lenders fill that gap fast.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. That means real options — not just whatever one bank will approve.
Colfax properties often appraise conservatively. Build that into your numbers before you commit to a purchase price.
DSCR loans work well here when rents cover the payment. Fix-and-flip deals usually need hard money or a bridge loan.
DSCR loans qualify on rental income — no tax returns, no income verification. That's the cleanest path for most investors.
Hard money closes faster but costs more. Bridge loans bridge the gap between purchase and permanent financing.
Colfax is a small market. Rental comps are thin, which can make DSCR underwriting tricky for lenders.
Properties with acreage or well-and-septic may require specific lender approval. Not all investor lenders go rural.
Not with DSCR or asset-based programs. The property's rent or your assets qualify the loan — no tax returns needed.
Some lenders will, some won't. We know which wholesale lenders approve rural and non-standard properties in Placer County.
Most investor loan programs require 20-25% down. Some non-QM lenders go down to 15% with stronger credit and reserves.
Most programs start at 660. Better rates kick in above 720. Some hard money lenders care more about the deal than the score.
Yes. Hard money and bridge loans are built for flips. Expect short terms, higher rates, and faster closings than traditional financing.
Some DSCR lenders accept short-term rental income. Confirm local zoning allows it — Placer County rules vary by area.
