Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Should I consider a hard money loan?

    Only if you have one or more of the following problems:
    1. Currently have poor credit or have a poor credit history such as late payments, judgments, defaults or bankruptcies, or
    2. Own property which would otherwise not qualify for a loan from a conventional lender such as bare land, non-conforming rental, commercial or industrial property, or
    3. May have good credit but need money quickly for such purposes as an immediate investment opportunity, a tax-deferred exchange requirement or other situations which are time-critical.

This type of loan may be the only way to obtain the needed cash from the equity you have accumulated in your property.

  1. What are the qualifications to obtain a hard money loan?

    You must have at least 25% or more equity in the property after the close of your loan, i.e. the market value of your property less the loan we grant you must be at least 25% at the time of the loan closing. This equity requirement varies depending upon the type of property you will use to secure your loan.
  2. What loan amount can I borrow?

    Our loans range can from $250,000 to $3,500,000
  3. How is the loan secured?

    • A completed and signed loan application.
    • Copies of your last two years tax returns.
    • The current balances of your existing loans.
    • The amount of any prepayment penalty that may be charged by your existing lender.
