What to Know About Rancho Santa Margarita

Rancho Santa Margarita is one of the youngest cities in Orange County, incorporated in 2000, and most of it was built as a master-planned community from the mid-1980s on. Condos and townhomes cluster near the town center and the private lake, while Dove Canyon and Robinson Ranch hold larger detached homes in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains.

Most homes here are 1980s and 1990s construction under a master association, and many owners refinanced into a first mortgage they plan to hold onto. If you need capital for a business, a private second against your primary residence can supply it, and investors can borrow against a condo or house they rent out. The first loan is not refinanced or paid down. Association dues and any assessments go into our review.

Straight Answers

Cash-Out Second Mortgages in Rancho Santa Margarita: Questions

I rent out a townhome near the RSM town center. Can I borrow against it and keep my current first?

Yes. The second is recorded behind your existing first mortgage, which stays as it is. Since it’s a rental, the purpose is investment, and we’ll review the rent, the association dues and how you plan to repay.

Do you lend in Rancho Santa Margarita?

Yes. We’re a California-licensed direct lender headquartered in Glendale, and we underwrite Orange County deals directly, including Rancho Santa Margarita, rather than handing them to 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.
