Frequently Asked Questions from Novato Residential Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Novato residential investments?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the Novato residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for fix & flip projects, residential new construction, or bridge financing for 1-4 unit properties and small apartment buildings where quick closing is essential to acquire desirable homes in Novato.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Novato?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Novato 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 residential properties and reacting quickly to market opportunities in Novato's sought-after communities.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Novato?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Novato, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, 4-plexes, and small multifamily buildings (up to 20 units). We also consider land acquisition loans for residential development. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability within the Novato housing market, not just the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Novato residential properties?
To expedite the process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable residential sales and our extensive experience in the Novato and broader Marin County real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster on your residential investment.
