Frequently Asked Questions from Olema & West Marin Clients
What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for Olema?
Private money loans are asset-based loans provided by private individuals or companies, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the Olema market because they offer speed and flexibility, which is crucial for acquiring unique residential properties (1-4 units, small multi-family) or for projects that don't fit strict bank criteria due to property age, condition, or rural location.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Olema?
We prioritize efficiency to help you seize opportunities. For qualified Olema projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This quick turnaround is vital for securing competitive residential deals in desirable West Marin areas.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Olema?
Our focus in Olema is on residential investment properties, including single-family homes (1-4 units) and small multi-family properties (up to 20 units). This includes properties for fix & flip, buy & hold (e.g., long-term rentals or vacation rentals), or bridge financing for acquisitions. We evaluate the asset's value and the project's profitability.
Do you require an appraisal for Olema properties?
To ensure a swift process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations, drawing on recent comparable sales and our specific knowledge of the Olema and West Marin real estate market. This allows us to move faster than relying solely on a traditional appraisal process.
