— ABOUT LOS ANGELES LOANS

Los Angeles & Coastal SoCal
Mortgage Financing

Pacific Home Loans provides mortgage financing throughout Los Angeles County and the Southern California coastal corridor, including Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, and Rancho Palos Verdes. We offer conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, portfolio, and Non-QM loan programs structured for the complexity and scale of one of the world’s most diverse and high-value real estate markets.

Los Angeles County is the largest county real estate market in the United States by transaction volume and among the most varied by property type – oceanfront compounds in Malibu, hillside architectural estates in the Hollywood Hills, guard-gated luxury communities in Bel Air and Beverly Hills, walkable coastal neighborhoods in Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach, and high-rise condominiums across the Westside and Downtown all occupy the same market. The 2026 conforming loan limit in Los Angeles County is $1,149,825 for a single-family property – a figure that is regularly exceeded across the county’s coastal, hillside, and luxury communities, where jumbo and portfolio financing are the standard rather than the exception.

The Los Angeles buyer profile is distinctly complex. Entertainment industry principals, technology executives, international buyers, self-employed business owners, and high-net-worth individuals with non-traditional income structures represent a significant share of the market’s active purchasers – and their financing needs frequently require bank statement, asset-based, portfolio, or other Non-QM solutions that go well beyond W-2 qualification.

Los Angeles is one of the top destinations for international real estate buyers in the United States, with particularly strong buyer activity from Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. Foreign national buyers – those without U.S. residency or Social Security numbers – require specialized financing programs that conventional agency guidelines do not accommodate. Pacific Home Loans offers foreign national loan programs for eligible international buyers purchasing property in Los Angeles County.

→ Foreign National Loan Programs

The Los Angeles market supports one of the most active investment property markets in the country, from short-term rental properties in coastal communities to long-term rental portfolios in the San Fernando Valley, Koreatown, and East Los Angeles. DSCR and portfolio programs qualify on rental property income rather than personal income documentation, making them well-suited for investors whose property cash flow supports the acquisition independently of their personal income structure.

— COASTAL LUXURY MARKETS

Coastal Luxury
Real Estate Financing

The Los Angeles coastal corridor spans some of the most recognized and persistently high-value residential real estate addresses in the world – from Malibu’s Carbon Beach to the bluffs of Rancho Palos Verdes. These communities attract a global buyer pool and consistently generate the county’s highest residential transaction values, with individual properties regularly trading well above $10 million and occasionally exceeding $100 million.

Key Coastal Luxury Communities

  • Malibu – Oceanfront compounds, blufftop estates, and gated canyon retreats along 27 miles of Pacific coastline. Carbon Beach, Broad Beach, and Point Dume represent the market’s most iconic addresses. Financing at this level routinely involves significant jumbo loan amounts, complex income structures, and bespoke portfolio solutions.
  • Pacific Palisades – Elevated coastal community between Malibu and Santa Monica, defined by architectural estates, canyon properties, ocean-view lots, and proximity to the Riviera Country Club. One of the county’s most consistently competitive luxury markets.
  • Santa Monica – Premier walkable coastal city with a diverse property landscape spanning oceanfront condominiums, single-family estates, and high-rise residences. Non-warrantable condominium structures and mixed-use projects are common across the high-rise inventory.
  • Manhattan Beach – South Bay’s most prestigious coastal address, defined by sand section walk-streets, oceanfront estates, and a strong professional and executive buyer base. Limited inventory and sustained demand characterize Manhattan Beach’s consistently competitive market dynamics.
  • Hermosa Beach & Redondo Beach – Adjacent South Bay coastal communities offering a broader range of price points while retaining strong beach lifestyle appeal and active investor markets.
  • Rancho Palos Verdes – Blufftop peninsula community with dramatic ocean views, estate-sized lots, and an established luxury buyer market. Limited comparables and unique topography can create appraisal complexity for higher-value transactions.

Financing in Los Angeles coastal luxury communities commonly involves jumbo loan amounts frequently exceeding $3-5 million, complex entertainment industry and technology executive income profiles, international buyer financing including foreign national programs, self-employed borrowers requiring bank statement or asset-based qualification, non-warrantable condominium and high-rise project financing, and portfolio solutions for unique architectural or estate properties with limited comparable sales.

— RESORT & CONDOMINIUM FINANCING

Resort & Condominium Financing
in Los Angeles

Los Angeles County includes a significant inventory of resort-style, high-rise, and luxury condominium developments where financing may require additional project-level review. Properties in coastal high-rise buildings, mixed-use developments, and resort-branded residences may involve non-warrantable characteristics, investor concentration thresholds, or HOA reserve and insurance conditions that affect standard agency eligibility.

Pacific Home Loans’ PrimeResort™ program is specifically structured for resort-designated and non-warrantable condominium scenarios, and our portfolio lending solutions extend beyond standard program limitations for complex project structures throughout Los Angeles County.

— FOR RESORT & NON-WARRANTABLE PROJECTS

PrimeResort™

Some condominiums – particularly resort-designated or non-warrantable projects – require specialized underwriting that conventional lenders cannot provide.

— HILLSIDE & CANYON MARKETS

Beverly Hills, Bel Air &
Westside Luxury Financing

The Westside luxury corridor – encompassing Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Holmby Hills, and the Hollywood Hills – represents the inland counterpart to Los Angeles’s coastal luxury market, with property values anchored by privacy, architecture, celebrity ownership history, and proximity to the entertainment industry’s professional center.

Beverly Hills’ guard-gated estates and Trousdale Estates’ modernist compounds regularly trade in the eight-figure range. Bel Air’s gated communities – including the exclusive guard-gated enclave around the Bel-Air Country Club – attract an international buyer pool with significant private wealth. The Hollywood Hills offer a broader range of entry points into the hillside luxury market, from architecturally significant mid-century properties to contemporary view homes on narrow canyon roads.

Financing at this level frequently involves portfolio and private lending structures, significant down payments, complex income documentation, estate and trust ownership structures, and appraisal complexity driven by unique architectural character and limited comparable sales.

Key Westside & Hillside Communities

  • Beverly Hills – Guard-gated estates, Trousdale Estates modernist compounds, and flats residences among the county’s most recognized luxury addresses
  • Bel Air – Gated hillside community with a strong international buyer profile and some of the county’s most significant estate transactions
  • Brentwood – Established Westside neighborhood with a mix of traditional estates, architectural homes, and high-end condominium inventory popular with entertainment and legal professionals
  • Hollywood Hills – Hillside community spanning mid-century architecture, contemporary view homes, and a range of entry points from the upper-$1 millions to ultra-luxury
