Frequently Asked Questions from Gainesville Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Gainesville?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the growing Gainesville market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, bridge, or construction projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals, especially given the strong demand near the University of Florida.
How fast can I get funded for a property in Gainesville?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Gainesville 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 desirable properties in Gainesville's active market.
What types of properties do you lend on in Gainesville?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Gainesville, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and 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 Gainesville 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 Gainesville real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and get you to your investment quicker.
