Frequently Asked Questions from Lancaster Clients
What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for Lancaster real estate?
Private money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the dynamic Lancaster market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, bridge, or new residential construction projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals, especially with the unique charm and age of many Lancaster properties.
How fast can I get funded for an investment property in Lancaster?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Lancaster 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 residential deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities in Lancaster County.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Lancaster?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment property types across Lancaster, 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 Lancaster investment 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 Lancaster real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and understand the unique aspects of residential properties in the area.
