Frequently Asked Questions from New Orleans Investors

What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for New Orleans residential investors?

Private money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the unique New Orleans residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, historic renovation, rental property acquisition, or small multifamily projects where quick closing and creative financing are essential.

How fast can I get funded for a residential investment property in New Orleans?

We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified New Orleans 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 desirable properties, especially those needing timely acquisition or renovation, in the unique NOLA market.

What types of residential properties do you lend on in New Orleans?

We focus specifically on residential investment properties across New Orleans. This includes single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), and small multifamily properties up to 20 units. We're experienced with historic renovations and properties intended for both short-term and long-term rental income. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability.

Do you require an appraisal for New Orleans 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 New Orleans residential real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster, especially important for unique NOLA properties.
