Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about our lending programs and process.

Getting Started

What is a hard money / private money loan?

A hard money loan is a short-term, asset-based loan secured primarily by real estate. Approval is driven by the value and business plan of the property rather than solely by the borrower's credit profile, allowing for faster, more flexible financing than a conventional bank loan.

What are the advantages of a private money loan over a bank loan?

Speed, flexibility, and a focus on the asset and business plan. Private financing enables investors to close quickly, take on value-add projects, and scale their portfolios without the documentation burden and slow timelines of conventional lending.

How long does it take to get funded?

Term sheets are typically issued within 24 hours, and closings can occur in as little as 10 days once documentation is received.

Costs & Terms

Do I pay any costs upfront?

There are no application fees to share a scenario or receive a term sheet. Third-party costs such as appraisals or valuations are disclosed transparently before you commit.

Are there any prepayment penalties?

Prepayment terms vary by program. Many of our bridge and fix & flip products carry little or no prepayment penalty. Each term sheet clearly states the applicable terms.

What is your minimum / maximum loan amount?

Loan amounts generally range from $100,000 to $10,000,000+, depending on the program, property, and structure of the transaction.

Eligibility & Documents

What types of assets do you lend on?

We finance single-family, 2-4 unit, multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial investment properties, as well as ground-up and mid-construction projects.

What documents do I need for a residential transaction?

Typical items include a completed scenario, purchase contract or payoff statement, rehab budget (if applicable), entity documents, and a government-issued ID. Your relationship manager will provide a tailored checklist.
