Frequently Asked Questions from Durham Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Durham, NC?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the fast-growing Durham residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, bridge, new construction, or rental property rehab projects where securing competitive deals quickly is essential.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Durham?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Durham 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 the Triangle Area.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Durham, NC?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Durham, including single-family homes (for fix & flip, rehab, or new construction), multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and land for residential development. 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 Durham 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 Durham residential real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and more efficiently.
