Investor Loans in Simi Valley
Investor loans don't use your W-2 income to qualify. Lenders underwrite based on the property's cash flow or your asset base.
DSCR loans — debt service coverage ratio loans — are the most common fit. The property's rent needs to cover the mortgage payment.

Conventional investor loans cap at 10 financed properties and require full income documentation. DSCR loans have no such cap.
If you're scaling a portfolio, DSCR is the cleaner path. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Most DSCR lenders want 660 or above. Better scores get better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Plan for 20-25% down minimum on most investor loan programs. Some hard money lenders structure deals differently.
Hard money and bridge loans are built for flips. DSCR is better suited to stabilized rentals with existing or projected rent.
