Financing investment property in Orange County and Los Angeles

Southern California rentals come with higher prices and their own costs. Here are the main ways to finance them.

Your main options

DSCR loans. Qualify using the property's rent instead of your personal income. Popular with self-employed investors and anyone who owns several rentals. Learn about DSCR loans

Conventional investment loans. Use your personal income and tax returns. Often a good fit if your returns show strong income.

Jumbo investment loans. For properties priced above conforming loan limits, common in coastal Orange County and parts of Los Angeles.

Local costs to plan for

  • Property taxes, including possible supplemental tax bills after purchase
  • HOA dues on condos and townhomes
  • Higher insurance costs in coastal and wildfire areas
  • Rent that supports the full payment
