Frequently Asked Questions from Mill Valley Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Mill Valley?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the competitive Mill Valley market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for residential fix & flip, bridge, or new construction projects where time is critical to secure premium properties.
How fast can I get funded for a property in Mill Valley?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Mill Valley 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 speed is crucial for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities in Marin County.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Mill Valley?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Mill Valley and Marin County, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), and small multi-family apartment buildings (up to 20 units). 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 Mill Valley 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 Mill Valley and Marin County real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster for your residential investment.
