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. For Novato investors who write off expenses aggressively, have complex income or simply do not want to hand over two years of tax returns, no income investor loans are the answer. Pacific National Lending explains how these programs qualify, what they cost and when they beat a conventional loan.

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. No income investor loans in Novato are usually DSCR loans: the lender divides the property's monthly rent by the monthly payment including taxes, insurance and HOA dues, and approves the loan when that ratio meets the program's minimum, often 1.0 or higher. Some lenders allow ratios below 1.0 with a larger down payment.

Housing includes 1950s to 70s ranch homes in central Novato and San Marin, newer homes and townhomes at Hamilton and Pointe Marin, golf-course homes around Marin Country Club, wooded lots in Indian Valley and Pacheco Valle, and waterfront homes in Bel Marin Keys. The process for a no income investor loan in Novato is faster and simpler than a conventional loan: an application, a credit pull, asset statements, the property's rent and an appraisal. Most close in about three weeks, and lenders generally allow the property to be held in an LLC.
Prepayment penalties are common on no income investor loans in Novato, usually for the first one to five years, and the length of the penalty affects the rate. We explain the trade-off so you can choose the structure that fits your holding plan.
