Frequently Asked Questions from Hawaii Clients

What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for Hawaii residential investments?

Private money loans, often synonymous with hard money, are asset-based loans funded by private capital, offering a flexible alternative to traditional bank financing. They are exceptionally well-suited for Hawaii's competitive residential market due to their speed and fewer stringent requirements. This makes them perfect for quick purchases, fix & flip projects, bridge financing, or new construction where securing a deal rapidly on islands like Oahu or Maui is critical for investors in 1-4 unit properties or small multi-family buildings.

How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Hawaii?

We prioritize speed for Hawaii residential investors. For qualified projects—such as single-family homes, duplexes, or small apartment buildings—we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-12 business days. This efficiency is invaluable for securing desirable properties and reacting quickly to market shifts across any of the Hawaiian Islands, especially with limited inventory.

What types of residential properties do you lend on in Hawaii?

We lend on a broad range of residential investment properties throughout Hawaii. This includes single-family homes, multi-unit properties (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), condos, and townhouses. Our focus is on the property's potential value and the project's profitability, not solely on the borrower's personal credit history, making us a great partner for various residential investment strategies.

Do you require an appraisal for Hawaii residential properties?

To streamline the lending process for Hawaii properties and accelerate closing times, we often utilize efficient valuation methods such as Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal market analyses based on recent comparable sales and our extensive local expertise. This approach allows us to make quick lending decisions for residential properties without the delays often associated with traditional appraisals, ensuring you can move fast in a competitive market.
