Frequently Asked Questions from Long Key Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Long Key?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the unique, fast-paced Long Key market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for residential fix & flip, bridge, or buy & hold projects, especially for properties with unique characteristics or those destined for the lucrative vacation rental market where time is critical to secure competitive deals.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Long Key?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Long Key and Florida Keys residential projects (1-4 units, small multi-family), 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 in the Keys.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Long Key?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Long Key and the surrounding Keys, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and waterfront properties. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, making us a great fit for investment properties including those intended for vacation rentals.
Do you require an appraisal for Long Key residential properties?
To expedite the process, especially for residential properties in the Keys, 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 Long Key and Florida Keys real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and understand the unique value of island properties.
