Frequently Asked Questions from Cambridge Clients
What are private money loans and why are they ideal for Cambridge residential investments?
Private money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the fast-paced Cambridge residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, rehab, bridge, or small multi-family acquisition projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Cambridge?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Cambridge residential projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This speed is crucial for securing competitive residential deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities in the Greater Boston area.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Cambridge?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Cambridge, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), condos, and townhouses. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, making us a great partner for diverse residential strategies.
Do you require an appraisal for Cambridge residential properties?
To expedite the 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 Cambridge and Greater Boston residential real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster.
