Frequently Asked Questions from Scranton Clients

What is a private money loan and why is it ideal for Scranton?

Private money loans, often called hard money loans, are asset-based loans funded by private investors. They are ideal for the Scranton market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for residential fix & flip, bridge, or new construction projects where quick access to capital can secure a better deal.

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

We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Scranton 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 deals and reacting quickly to opportunities in the Northeast PA real estate market.

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

We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Scranton and surrounding areas. Our focus includes single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), and small apartment buildings (up to 20 units). Our lending decisions prioritize the asset's value and the project's profitability, making it easier for investors to secure financing.

Do you require an appraisal for Scranton residential properties?

To expedite the process, 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 Scranton real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and get you funded sooner.
