What makes hard money ideal for San Francisco fix & flip projects?
Hard money loans are asset-based, funded by private capital, making them faster and more flexible than traditional bank loans. For SF fix & flip, this means quick closings to beat out competitors, the ability to finance properties that need significant renovation, and inclusion of rehab costs in the loan – all critical in San Francisco's dynamic residential market.
How quickly can I get approved and funded for a fix & flip project in SF?

Do your fix & flip loans include funding for renovation costs?
Yes, absolutely. A core feature of our fix & flip loans is the inclusion of renovation capital. We finance both the acquisition of the property and a significant portion of the rehab budget.
