Frequently Asked Questions from Philadelphia Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Philadelphia?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors. They are ideal for the fast-paced Philadelphia market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, bridge, or new construction projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals, particularly with Philadelphia's rowhome inventory and rapidly appreciating areas.
How fast can I get funded for a property in Philadelphia?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Philadelphia 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 across Philadelphia's diverse neighborhoods.
What types of properties do you lend on in Philadelphia?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Philadelphia, focusing on 1-4 unit homes, small multi-unit properties (up to 20 units), and land for residential development. This includes the classic Philadelphia rowhome, duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings. 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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and allows you to move quickly on promising investments.
