Frequently Asked Questions from Sarasota Residential Clients

What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for Sarasota residential investments?

Private money loans are asset-based loans provided by private lenders (like Waterman Capital), not traditional banks. They are perfect for the fast-moving Sarasota residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer bureaucratic hurdles. This makes them ideal for fix & flip projects, new construction, bridge financing, or quick acquisitions of single-family homes or small multi-family properties where securing a deal rapidly is key.

How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Sarasota?

We prioritize efficiency for our Sarasota clients. For qualified residential projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 5-7 business days, with most loans closing within 7-14 business days. This quick turnaround is crucial for seizing opportunities and reacting effectively in Sarasota's competitive housing market.

What types of residential properties do you lend on in Sarasota?

We lend on a wide array of residential property types across Sarasota, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), townhouses, and condos. Our focus is on the property's value and the project's profitability for investors, offering solutions beyond what traditional lenders might provide for diverse residential portfolios.

Do you require an appraisal for Sarasota residential properties?

To expedite the funding process for our Sarasota clients, we often utilize Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations. These are based on recent comparable sales data and our extensive experience in the local Sarasota real estate market, rather than waiting for a lengthy, traditional appraisal process. This approach helps us close your loan faster.
