Why Los Angeles Investors Choose Waterman Capital
Los Angeles's real estate market is incredibly diverse and highly competitive.

- Flexible Terms: We specialize in tailored hard money loans for unique residential investment strategies, including complex rehabs, ground-up residential construction, and time-sensitive acquisitions that traditional lenders typically avoid.

Frequently Asked Questions from Los Angeles Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Los Angeles residential investments?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the fast-paced Los Angeles residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for fix & flip, bridge, or residential construction projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals in LA's diverse sub-markets.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Los Angeles?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Los Angeles residential projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid turnaround is crucial for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities across Los Angeles County, from single-family homes to small apartment complexes.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in LA?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Los Angeles, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-residential properties, small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and land for residential new construction. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, not solely the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Los Angeles residential 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 Los Angeles residential real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and more efficiently for our LA clients.
