Palo Alto is the birthplace of Silicon Valley, a leafy city next to Stanford University with a walkable University Avenue downtown and some of the most valuable residential streets in the country. We help Palo Alto buyers and homeowners with jumbo and super-jumbo purchase loans, refinances and equity financing. Pacific National Lending works with real estate investors across Palo Alto who need financing that keeps up with their plans: purchase loans for rentals, cash-out refinances to fund the next acquisition, and programs that do not depend on tax returns. As a broker, we shop your investor loan across many lenders.

Palo Alto purchases routinely require loan amounts well beyond ordinary jumbo limits, and buyers are often founders, executives, physicians and professors with stock-heavy compensation or substantial assets. Qualifying on restricted stock, business income or asset-based programs takes a broker with access to many jumbo lenders, which is exactly how we work. Conventional investor loans in Palo Alto typically require 15 to 25 percent down depending on the property type, and Fannie Mae limits a borrower to ten financed properties. Rental income from the new property can help you qualify, and rates run somewhat higher than owner-occupied loans.

Housing includes historic homes in Professorville, Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park, bungalows in College Terrace and Downtown North, mid-century Eichler homes in Greenmeadow and Midtown, and larger lots in Barron Park. Investors in Palo Alto often use a cash-out refinance on an existing rental to fund the down payment on the next one. We help sequence those transactions so the timing, the loan limits and the debt ratios all work together.
Many Palo Alto investors hold rentals in an LLC. Conventional loans require individual vesting, while DSCR and portfolio loans usually allow LLC ownership, and we structure the loan to fit how you hold title.
We help borrowers with investor loans throughout Palo Alto, including Old Palo Alto, Professorville, Crescent Park, Midtown, and across Silicon Valley. Palo Alto is a little over two hours from our Gold River office, and we handle Silicon Valley loans entirely by phone, email and e-signature.
