In Santa Monica's high-value and competitive residential market, they are perfect for investors needing fast capital for fix & flip projects, new construction of 1-4 units, or acquiring small multi-family properties where securing the deal quickly is paramount.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Santa Monica?
We prioritize efficiency for Santa Monica investors. For qualified 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 rapid funding empowers you to close on desirable properties before other investors.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Santa Monica?
We focus exclusively on residential investment properties in Santa Monica.

Do you require an appraisal for Santa Monica residential properties?
