San Mateo sits midway between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, with a busy downtown around Central Park, three Caltrain stations and neighborhoods that run from the bay shore up into the western hills. We help San Mateo buyers and homeowners with jumbo purchase loans, condo financing, refinances and equity lines. Financing an investment property in San Mateo is different from financing a home you live in, with larger down payments, different rates and lender rules about how many properties you can finance. Pacific National Lending navigates those rules so investors can keep growing.

San Mateo is a high-priced, fast-moving market where technology and biotech professionals compete for limited inventory and nearly every single-family purchase is a jumbo loan. Condos and townhomes, including the newer Bay Meadows community, are the entry point for many buyers, which makes HOA and project review an important early step. Investor loan pricing in San Mateo depends on down payment, credit, property type and whether the loan is conventional or a DSCR product. A single-family rental with 25 percent down prices best; 2-to-4-unit properties, condos and short-term rentals each have their own adjustments, which we explain up front.

We understand how San Mateo investors think about a deal, and we speak the same language: cap rate, cash-on-cash return, DSCR and exit strategy.
