    I specialize in short-term rental financing, non-QM loans, and creative lending solutions for real estate investors across several states. I help self-employed borrowers and portfolio investors explore financing when traditional income documentation or debt-to-income limits restrict their options. My services include DSCR rental loans, bank-statement and 1099 programs, cash-out refinancing, bridge loans, fix-and-flip financing, and ground-up construction. I evaluate each deal’s cash flow, equity, liquidity, and exit strategy to help match the financing to your investment goals. As a third-generation real estate professional, U.S. veteran, and MBA with a background in construction and mortgage operations, I bring practical experience and straightforward communication to complex deals.

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.
