Frequently Asked Questions from Philadelphia Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for residential investors in Philadelphia?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the dynamic Philadelphia residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for fix & flip, residential bridge, or new construction projects (1-4 units or small multi-family up to 20 units) where quick access to capital is crucial to secure properties and beat out other bidders.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Philadelphia?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Philadelphia 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 essential for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities, especially when dealing with distressed properties or hot submarkets.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Philadelphia?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Philadelphia, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, and small apartment buildings (up to 20 units). We also consider mixed-use properties where the primary use is residential. Our focus is on the property's value, the project's profitability, and the investor's experience, not solely on traditional credit scores.
Do you require an appraisal for Philadelphia residential properties?
To expedite the process for our Philadelphia clients, 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 local real estate market. This approach allows us to make quick lending decisions without the delays associated with traditional appraisals, ensuring faster closings for your investment projects.
