Frequently Asked Questions from South Portland Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for South Portland residential investments?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the active South Portland 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 residential deals in Greater Portland.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in South Portland?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified South Portland 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 market opportunities in Southern Maine.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in South Portland?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across South Portland and Southern Maine, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and land for new residential construction. 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 South Portland 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 South Portland and Southern Maine real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster for your residential investment.
