Novato is Marin County's northernmost city, with a small-town Old Town along Grant Avenue, oak-covered hills and the redeveloped Hamilton neighborhood on the former Air Force base. We help Novato buyers and homeowners with high-balance and jumbo purchase loans, refinances, reverse mortgages and equity lines. DSCR loans have become the go-to financing for rental property investors in Novato because they skip tax returns, employment verification and debt-to-income calculations entirely. If the rent covers the payment, the deal can work, and Pacific National Lending makes the process straightforward.

Novato is the most attainable entry point into Marin County, which brings in move-up families from Sonoma County and buyers priced out of southern Marin. Even so, most purchases require high-balance conforming or jumbo financing, and the city's many condo and townhome communities need a lender who checks HOA approval before an offer is written. Rent for a DSCR loan on an Novato property is established by the existing lease or the appraiser's market rent analysis, and some lenders use documented short-term rental income. Properties can be vested in an LLC, and 30-year fixed, adjustable and interest-only structures are available.
