    Most lenders understand loans. We understand portfolios, because we're building one ourselves. The Rueth Team is led by Nicole Rueth, a mortgage strategist with 60+ doors, active acquisitions, and two decades of closing complex deals. When you bring us a deal, we're not running it through a checklist. We're modeling it the same way we model our own: cash flow, leverage, long-term wealth impact, and what it means for the next acquisition. We specialize in the structures that most lenders won't touch: DSCR, asset-based, no-ratio, and Non-QM loans alongside conventional and government products. House hackers, BRRRR investors, 1031 exchangers, portfolio builders. This is what we do every day. Active investors and licensed lenders in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and North Carolina. We know these markets because we own in them. Licensed in 43 states, so we go wherever your portfolio takes you.

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. Each profile shows the loan types a lender makes and reviews from BiggerPockets members.

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.
