WHAT IS AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY?
An investment property is a property that is not your primary residence and has been purchased with intent to generate revenue, either through the future resale of the property, rental income or both.
An investment property can be a long-term project or an intentional short-term where real estate is purchased, remodeled or renovated, and sold at a profit.
DO INVESTMENT PROPERTIES QUALIFY FOR LOANS?
Yes. In comparison to homes purchased as the primary residence, taking out a loan for an investment property often comes with higher interest rates and a larger down payment. It can be difficult to receive a loan on an investment property, particularly in Orange County, San Diego County, and Los Angeles County, so the borrower must be prepared to put down at least 20% of the home price as a down payment and be able to prove good credit scores.
TIPS FOR INVESTING IN A PROPERTY IN ORANGE COUNTY, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY:
It is important to be patient and well-informed about the market value of the property you wish to purchase. Selecting real estate that is more likely to increase in value is the most important decision you will make, therefore, buying at the right price is crucial.
Before you purchase the home, have a professional building inspector perform an in-depth inspection of the property to find any potential problems as this may hinder your profit potential. Thereafter, it is recommended to do an in-depth inspection annually.
Loans for investment properties usually accompany a higher interest rate. Be prepared to put down at least 15 percent of the property price as a down payment on the loan and ensure that your credit is in good standing.

We recently had the distinct honor and pleasure to work with Mike Zamani (of CostPro) to refinance our home mortgage. Mike made our journey through today’s finance world a smooth process and actually somewhat easy. He was always available to answer questions, offer explanations promptly, patiently, and competently. Mike’s communication style and even his voice, which is crisp, succinct, yet calming helped us feel we were in very good hands. Beyond Mike himself, his team were also very efficient, competent, and worked with us to assure things happened smoothly. We highly recommend Mike Zamani! A gentleman and scholar indeed, with a great personality to boot!
Thanks again Mike!

It's the day after I closed on my Re-Fi and I still can't believe it! I was contacted by a bank and after looking at my file, they said I needed to get a co-signer! I forgot about doing it until I got a call from Tony. He looked everything over and thought it was doable. They put Tony through the wringer. No matter what we gave them, they wanted more. Finally, they ran out of things to ask us and said YES! If anyone but Tony had called me I would not of had the same result. I will be forever grateful!!
Liz S.To whom it may concern,
this is to confirm that Brian Mays, Lee Garoutte, and their team are
some of the most dedicated people to work with, they went out of the
way and bent over backwards to make sure that my loan went through.
They went over and above to get the task completed. I highly
recommend Brian, Lee, their team to anyone who is trying to get
their loan approved.
