How It Works
The Property Qualifies — Not Just You

DSCR loans qualify based on the property's rental income relative to its debt service. Your tax returns, W-2, or personal DTI stay out of the equation.

📊

DSCR = Rent ÷ PITIA

If monthly rent covers the mortgage payment, you can qualify. A 1.0+ DSCR means the property pays for itself. Many products go below 1.0 with compensating factors.

📄

No W-2 or Tax Returns

Self-employed investors, business owners, and operators who write off too much on paper can still qualify. The asset drives the underwriting — not your 1040.

🏢

Closes in LLC or Personal Name

Keep your portfolio structured correctly. DSCR loans close in an LLC — maintaining separation between personal and investment finances.

📈

No Portfolio Cap

Conventional loans stop working after a few properties. DSCR scales with your portfolio — built for investors who aren't stopping at two or three doors.

Where I Work
California Markets I Serve

Licensed in California. Focused on the investor markets where DSCR and non-QM financing make the most sense right now.

Southern California

Los Angeles Metro

High property values push deals into jumbo territory. DSCR products that scale with LA price points — SFR, multi-family, and small commercial.

Inland Empire

Riverside & San Bernardino

Strong rent growth, institutional investor demand, and DSCR ratios that pencil on SFR and small multi-family. One of the most active investor markets in SoCal.

High Desert

Victor Valley & Apple Valley

Lower entry prices with growing rental demand. One of the last affordable investor markets in Southern California with improving cash flow metrics.

Desert

Coachella Valley

STR-heavy market — DSCR loans underwritten on Airbnb/VRBO projected income. Desert luxury and workforce rentals across Palm Springs and surrounding cities.

Southern California

San Diego County

Strong tenant demand, military-driven rental base, and consistent appreciation. DSCR and conventional products for a market that rarely softens.

Fire Rebuild — California

Altadena & Pacific Palisades

Construction-to-permanent financing for owners rebuilding after the January 2025 fires. Your land + your rebuild plan = a viable path forward.

Background
The Institutional Lens

Before I originated loans, I was in the room where credit committees happened. At Colony Asset Management — part of Colony Capital — I worked alongside the team acquiring distressed loan portfolios directly from the FDIC out of failed bank receiverships post-2008. I hosted credit committee presentations where institutional capital decided which portfolios to bid on, what the collateral was worth, and what recovery looked like at scale. DSCR coverage, debt yield, cap rates, LTC ratios — I learned underwriting from the people whose money was on the line.

That background is what separates my approach. I can tell you why your deal pencils or why it doesn't — not just whether you qualify, but what the lender is actually looking at, how to structure the deal, and which product fits your situation best across a full product matrix.
