Investor Loans in Hollister
Hollister sits 45 minutes south of San Jose, pulling investors who can't stomach Silicon Valley prices. The rental market here feeds on Bay Area spillover—commuters and priced-out tech workers.
Single-family homes and small multifamily properties dominate the investment landscape. We're seeing steady demand from landlords building California portfolios without coastal premiums.
Most investor loans require 15-25% down depending on property type and your experience. Lenders care more about the property's cash flow than your W-2 income.
Credit minimums sit around 680 for conventional investor loans. DSCR programs push that to 700+ but skip income verification entirely—they underwrite the rent, not your tax returns.
Fannie and Freddie cap you at 10 financed properties. After that, you need portfolio lenders who don't sell loans to Wall Street—they set their own rules.
DSCR lenders underwrite based on projected or actual rent. If the property generates 1.0x to 1.25x debt service coverage, you qualify regardless of personal income documentation.
Hollister investors often underestimate property tax implications. San Benito County reassesses at purchase, and your 1% base rate resets to current market value—factor that into cash flow projections.
We're seeing strong appetite for DSCR loans from out-of-state investors building California portfolios remotely. No tax returns, no pay stubs—just rent rolls and property appraisals.
DSCR loans cost 0.5-1% more in rate than conventional investor mortgages, but they skip two years of tax returns and don't count against Fannie's 10-property cap. That trade works for most portfolio builders.
Hard money makes sense for fix-and-flip timelines under 12 months. Rates hit 9-12%, but you close in days and renovate without seasoning requirements strangling conventional refis.
Hollister's rental market splits between long-term tenants commuting to San Jose and short-term agricultural workers. Underwriting varies—lenders prefer documented long-term leases over seasonal occupancy.
Zoning matters more here than in dense metros. Single-family homes zoned R-1 can't convert to multiple units without city approval, limiting value-add strategies that work in San Jose or Oakland.
Conventional loans cap at 10 total financed properties nationwide. Portfolio and DSCR lenders have no hard limits—some allow 20+ properties if each cash flows properly.
Conventional investor loans require two years of returns. DSCR programs skip tax returns entirely and underwrite based on property rent versus mortgage payment.
Single-family rentals need 15-20% down. Multifamily properties (2-4 units) require 25% down for most investor loan programs.
DSCR lenders accept appraisal-based market rent for vacant properties. Some require signed leases, but most portfolio lenders work with appraiser rent schedules.
DSCR and portfolio loans close in 15-21 days with clean appraisals. Hard money can fund in 5-7 days for time-sensitive deals or auctions.
