Frequently Asked Questions from California Residential Investors
What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for California residential real estate investors?
Private money loans are asset-based loans funded by private individuals or companies, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the fast-paced and competitive California residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for time-sensitive fix & flip, new construction, or bridge loan projects where quickly securing a property or capital is crucial.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in California?
We prioritize efficiency to match the pace of California's market. For qualified residential projects statewide, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid funding allows investors to secure properties and begin projects without delays, giving them an edge in a competitive environment.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in CA?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across California, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and residential land for new construction. Our focus is on the property's value, the project's viability, and the investor's experience, not solely on traditional credit scores.
Do you require an appraisal for California residential properties?
To expedite the loan process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in the California residential real estate market. This approach allows us to make quick lending decisions and avoid the delays sometimes associated with full, traditional appraisals, ensuring faster closings for our clients.
