What to Know About Los Angeles

The City of Los Angeles covers everything from hillside streets in Silver Lake and Eagle Rock to the flat postwar grids of Van Nuys and North Hollywood in the San Fernando Valley. Craftsman and Victorian homes in Highland Park, early bungalows across South LA and mid-century houses near LAX in Westchester all fall under the same city rules.

Equity in the City of LA is spread across very different property types: a Silver Lake hillside house, a fourplex in South LA, a Valley ranch home in Van Nuys. Plenty of those owners locked in a first mortgage they have no reason to give up. A private second lets you borrow against a rental, or against your primary residence for a business purpose, and the first loan is left alone. Many older apartment buildings fall under the city’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance, so we read the rent roll with that in mind.

Straight Answers

Cash-Out Second Mortgages in Los Angeles: Questions

My South LA duplex is under rent control. Can I still take out a second?

Yes. We look at the actual rents and how the city’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance applies to the building, and the second sits behind your existing first loan without replacing it.

Do you lend in Los Angeles?

Yes. We’re a California-licensed direct lender headquartered in Glendale, and we underwrite Los Angeles County deals directly, including Los Angeles, rather than routing them through an out-of-state call center.

Can I borrow against my primary residence?

Yes, when the loan is for a business or investment purpose. That’s what sets us apart from many private lenders who won’t lend on an owner-occupied home. A signed business-purpose statement is required at closing, and the proceeds can’t be used for personal or household expenses.
