Find a Lender in California


To choose a lender that aligns with your investing goals, start by asking the right questions about their experience with real estate investors and their flexibility in loan terms. When speaking with a potential lender, ask about their familiarity with investment-specific loan products, such as portfolio loans, bridge loans, or cash-out refinancing options, and how often they work with investors in your target market. Understanding the lender's typical loan-to-value (LTV) ratios and whether they offer specialized financing—like quick approvals for competitive markets—can reveal how well their services support quick, strategic property purchases.

In addition to loan features, inquire about fees, interest rates, and their approach to managing multiple property loans. For example, ask if they provide discounts on financing for investors with multiple properties or if they offer customizable loan packages based on your long-term goals. A lender who is open to building a relationship and adjusting terms to your needs is often a better fit for a growing investment portfolio. Finally, get recommendations from local real estate investment groups, which can provide insights into which lenders in your area have a strong track record with investors. And remember there is no one size fits all lender, you will want to find the right one for your investing needs.
