A loan from a private lender is an asset-based loan secured by real property. Because the loan is secured by the value of the property, income verification and credit scores are not usually the primary deciding factors in credit extension.

We offer over 20 lending programs, including:
  • Fix & flip and fix & rent loans
  • Single-family rentals and rental portfolio loans
  • New construction and redevelopment loans
  • Foreign nationals’ single family and foreign nationals’ investment property mortgages 
  • Commercial real estate loans
  • Terms rang from short-term 12-month loans to long-term 30-year loans
  • Loans starting at $75,000
  • Asset-based lending with minimal credit score requirements
  • Interest only loan options

How is a hard money loan or a private loan different from a traditional mortgage?

A private loan, sometimes called a bridge loan or a hard money loan, is a loan that is secured by a hard asset, such as residential or commercial real estate. When making a lending decision, a private lender is mostly concerned with the value of the property being used as collateral, as opposed to the borrower’s credit score or other factors. Unlike traditional bank lenders, private lenders are more flexible with lending requirements, such as down payments, credit scores, and income verification.

Do I need a down payment?

What is most important to a private lender is the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the property being financed. The LTV is a financial term used by lenders to express the ratio of a loan to the value of an asset purchased. Lenders require a  minimum of 10% down payment of the purchase price. The down payment required for each loan program is discussed in greater detail below. 

Do I need a good credit score?

Most lenders do not require a good credit score or income verification. Some lenders will accept bank statements or other financial records if income can’t be verified.

Should I pay a lender an application fee?

You should not pay a lender an application fee, and our lending partners do not charge an application fee. A legitimate lender should examine an application without requiring a fee.
