    Real Estate wealth is built with actual numbers, not just “trust me”. We help investors understand what the numbers mean, determine what works and build a personalized financing strategy around their long term goals. Every investor, property and portfolio is different instead of starting with a loan product. We start by understanding the deal cash flow, available Capital, monthly payment, reserves, timeline and future plans. From there, we structure financing that works for the investment today without losing sight of what you want to build next. As a mortgage broker, we can compare multiple lenders, programs and loan structures to find the right fit. My financing options include DSCR, conventional investment property loans, renovation loans, bridge, and fix and flip financing, bank statement programs, cash out refinances and other alternative income solutions. We believe you should understand the full picture before making a decision, including the rate, cash required, prepayment penalties, and potential trade-offs. If the numbers work, we’ll show you why if they don’t I’ll tell you that too. Whether you’re purchasing your first rental or expanding an established portfolio the goal is the same understand the deal, structured the financing and build a lasting wealth with a plan that is personalized to you.

    I help real estate investors find smart financing solutions to purchase, refinance, renovate, and leverage equity in their properties. With more than 23 years of mortgage experience, I specialize in finding creative solutions for scenarios that don’t always fit neatly into a traditional lending box. Whether you’re purchasing your first investment property or growing an established portfolio, I can help with conventional investment financing, DSCR loans, cash-out refinances, HELOCs, renovation financing, bridge loans, and other alternative lending options. My approach is straightforward and strategy-focused. I take the time to understand the entire transaction, compare available options, and help investors determine which financing structure best supports their short- and long-term goals. If there’s a deal you’re considering—even if you’re not sure it can be financed—I’m always happy to take a look and help you explore the possibilities.

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?

206 lenders serve California as of November 14, 2026. 195 offer hard money, private or non-QM loans, which covers DSCR, fix-and-flip and bridge financing, and 104 offer conventional and government-backed loans.

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.
