Although inventory is low and demand is relatively high in many regions across the country, a lot of buyers are finding low interest rates as an attractive reason to buy now. 

However, some smaller regional banks offer portfolio owns with favorable terms to investors providing the property is LLC owned but you are willing to back it with personal credit, you will not generally find these loans at bigger banks and are 30 year fixed loans with no prepay.

The five county region saw a 6% uptick in new listings compared to November of the preceding year and a 21% decrease from the preceding month.

While many of them underwrite the investment as the first priority, credit still comes into play (which could affect down payment, interest rate, and points).Ya that idea that HML are basically solely collateral based that thought process left the barn in the GFC.. most HML will underwrite as tough as a bank.. what they do though is speed and will do properties that are in need of a lot of repairs or going to be flips.. where banks by and large simply don't do rehab loans at all or if they do only for their very top tier clients as a value add and based on substantial deposit relationships.there has been a race to the bottom though since the banks left the rehab lending market years ago and that led to the rise of what we see now very large well capitalized  HML whose rates are just a bit higher than bank rates .. its also regional CA has the lowest rates in the country..
