Frequently Asked Questions from Columbus Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Columbus, OH?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the dynamic Columbus market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, buy & hold, or small multifamily rehabilitation projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals in neighborhoods like Olde Towne East or the University District.
How fast can I get funded for a property in Columbus?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Columbus 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 across Central Ohio.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Columbus?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment property types across Columbus, including single-family homes, 1-4 unit multi-residential properties, and small multifamily buildings (up to 20 units), as well as land for residential new construction. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, not just the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Columbus 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 Columbus real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster.
