Frequently Asked Questions from Lansing Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Lansing?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the Lansing residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for fix & flip projects, bridge financing for new acquisitions, or construction loans for 1-4 unit homes or small apartment buildings where quick access to capital is critical for securing profitable deals, especially in areas with high rental demand or revitalization efforts.
How fast can I get funded for a property in Lansing?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Lansing 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 throughout Lansing and the surrounding Mid-Michigan area.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Lansing?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Lansing and Mid-Michigan. This includes single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), and small apartment buildings (up to 20 units). Our focus is on the asset's value, the project's profitability, and the investor's exit strategy, rather than solely on the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Lansing 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 Lansing and Mid-Michigan real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and get you the capital you need quickly.
