Hard money lending

Hard money.
Made simple.

Asset-based lending secured by real estate. Borrowers can use proceeds for any legitimate business purpose while the loan is reviewed against the property, appraisal, lien position, and borrower.

Loan niches

Business-purpose loans reviewed case by case.

1st & 2nd position Senior and junior-lien scenarios when the collateral and equity support the request.
Occupancy range Non-owner-occupied and eligible owner-occupied scenarios reviewed by file.
Stated income Collateral-focused lending for borrowers who need alternatives to full-doc financing.
No minimum FICO Credit is reviewed, but the file is not reduced to one score.
Flexible collateral Cross-collateralization, cash-outs, refinances, and purchases.

Business-purpose loans

Business-purpose loans backed by real estate.

Funds can be used for any legitimate business purpose. The money is not limited to real estate uses, as long as the use of funds serves a business purpose and the real estate collateral supports the loan.

Property types

SFRs, multifamily with no unit cap, condos including non-warrantable, and commercial property in California.

Loan structures

Purchases, cash-outs, refinances, and cross-collateralized structures reviewed case by case.

Business use of funds

The proceeds do not need to be spent on real estate, provided the purpose is business-related.
