Frequently Asked Questions from Charlestown Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Charlestown?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the competitive Charlestown residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, bridge, or new construction projects where quick access to capital is essential to secure desirable properties.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Charlestown?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Charlestown 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 deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities in areas like Charlestown.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Charlestown?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Charlestown, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), and small apartment buildings (up to 20 units). Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability for residential investments, not solely the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Charlestown 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 Charlestown residential real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and more efficiently for time-sensitive deals.
