Frequently Asked Questions from Lagunitas Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Lagunitas and West Marin?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the Lagunitas and West Marin market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for fix & flip, bridge, or new construction projects, especially for properties with unique characteristics or where time is critical to secure competitive deals that traditional lenders might overlook.
How fast can I get funded for a property in Lagunitas?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Lagunitas 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, especially for properties that require a quick close or present unique challenges for conventional financing.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Lagunitas and West Marin?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Lagunitas and West Marin, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and even land for new residential 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 Lagunitas 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 Lagunitas and West Marin real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and accommodate the unique nature of some properties in the area.
