Frequently Asked Questions from San Rafael Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for San Rafael residential investments?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the San Rafael and Marin County residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for fix & flip, residential new construction, or bridge projects where time is critical to secure competitive deals on homes and small multi-family properties.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in San Rafael?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified San Rafael and Marin County 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 deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities in the North Bay.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in San Rafael?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across San Rafael and Marin County, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, and small apartment buildings (up to 20 units). We also consider land acquisition for residential development. 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 San Rafael residential properties?
To expedite the process, especially for residential investments, 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 San Rafael and Marin County real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster.
