Petaluma is a southern Sonoma County river town on Highway 101 with one of the best-preserved historic downtowns in California and streets of Victorian homes on its west side. We help Petaluma buyers and homeowners with conventional, jumbo, FHA and VA financing, refinances and equity lines. A DSCR loan in Petaluma qualifies an investment property on its debt service coverage ratio, the property's rent divided by its monthly payment, instead of the borrower's personal income. Pacific National Lending brokers DSCR loans through multiple lenders so Petaluma investors get competitive rates and flexible terms.

Petaluma is popular with Marin and San Francisco commuters who want more space and small-town character, so well-kept homes draw multiple offers and most purchases need high-balance or jumbo financing. The west side's older homes can raise condition questions on appraisal, while the east side's newer subdivisions are straightforward for every loan program. The DSCR is calculated by dividing the monthly rent by the full monthly payment, including principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA dues. A ratio of 1.0 means the rent exactly covers the payment; most lenders want 1.0 to 1.25, and some allow lower ratios on Petaluma properties with a larger down payment or higher rate.
