Cash-Out Second Mortgages in Santa Monica

What to Know About Santa Monica

Santa Monica is a small, almost entirely built-out beach city, with large single-family homes north of Montana, older cottages and bungalows in Ocean Park and Sunset Park, and a large stock of rent-controlled apartments. Much of the city near the water falls within the California coastal zone.

Owners north of Montana and in Sunset Park often hold very large equity positions, and many have a first loan at a rate that would be painful to give up. A private second can access part of that equity for a business purpose on a primary residence, or from an investment property. With apartment buildings, Santa Monica’s rent control rules factor heavily into how we view the income.

Straight Answers

Cash-Out Second Mortgages in Santa Monica: Questions

Can I take a second on my North of Montana home?

Yes, for a business purpose on a primary residence or on investment property. The second sits behind your existing first, which stays as it is.

Do you lend in Santa Monica?

Yes. We’re a California-licensed direct lender headquartered in Glendale, and we underwrite Los Angeles County deals directly, including Santa Monica, 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.
