    I'm an AZ native and RE investor. As a broker I have hundreds of options and can help find the right one for your situation. I specialize in DSCR products to pull out equity or free up more cash flow, all while optimizing your portfolio. In addition to DSCR I can help with these things: -Traditional Mortgages (Conv, VA, FHA) -Hard Money -Commercial -Special offering is our Fast50 with no minimum credit score -HELOCs/HELs I own 2 duplexes of my own and occasionally do a light fix and flip or a house hack. I love running numbers and seeing how things work out best for everyone. There is a lot of nuance in the DSCR/NonQM space and I would love nothing more to help you walk through it.

    A leading nationwide, private money lender and Third-Party Originator of business purpose loans (BPLs) with >$350M of cumulative originations and best-in-class product knowledge and service, driving borrower satisfaction, loyalty, and referrals. When we started this company, we knew that we wanted to focus on education, building relationships, and helping investors toward financial freedom. So that is exactly what we did. When our founders joined forces, each brought unique and valuable skills and experience that would lay the foundation for our company. Before BRRRR Loans, there wasn’t a private, long-term financing option designed for securitization…there was only hard money or “fix & flip” loans. As a result, the only way a borrower could exit a hard money loan was to sell the property and pay off the loan or refinance with a bank. We knew that there had to be another way, and that is how the idea of BRRRR Loans was born. We have the knowledge and resources to help fund your next real estate investment, and we will do it, standing by your side and helping you achieve your goals.

Investment property loan types in California

  • DSCR loans

    Qualify on the property's rental income rather than your own. Common for buy-and-hold investors with several properties or self-employed income.

  • Hard money

    Short-term, asset-backed, funded in days rather than weeks. Used for flips and deals that cannot wait for conventional underwriting.

  • Fix-and-flip loans

    Purchase plus rehab in one facility, drawn in stages as the work is signed off.

How to find a lender in California

  • Use the BiggerPockets Lender Finder to match with lenders who fund the kind of deal you are doing in California

  • Ask in the BiggerPockets forums, where investors name the lenders they have actually closed with

  • Check the NMLS number on any lender before you share financial details

  • Attend a local California meetup and ask who other investors use

Investment property financing, explained

What kinds of investment loans do California lenders on BiggerPockets offer?

How do I check a lender is licensed in California?

Search the lender’s name or NMLS ID on NMLS Consumer Access to see whether they’re licensed or registered in California. Some private lenders making business-purpose loans don’t need an NMLS license. For those, check California’s business registry or ask the lender what licensing applies to them.
