Frequently Asked Questions from Columbus Clients
What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for Columbus residential investments?
Private money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the active Columbus residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, residential bridge, or new construction projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals on 1-4 unit properties or small multifamily assets.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Columbus?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Columbus 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 for single-family or small multifamily homes in Central Ohio.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Columbus?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Columbus, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), and small apartment 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 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 Columbus residential real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster for your investment property.
