Frequently Asked Questions from Honolulu & Oahu Clients
What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for residential investments on Oahu?
Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for the competitive Oahu residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing. This makes them perfect for fix & flip, buy & hold, bridge, or small multifamily acquisition projects where swift capital is crucial to secure high-demand properties.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property on Oahu?
We prioritize efficiency to match Oahu's fast-paced market. 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 turnaround is essential for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities, especially around areas with high turnover like those near military bases such as Tripler AMC.
What types of residential properties do you lend on across Oahu?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Oahu, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, quads, and small multifamily buildings up to 20 units. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, making us ideal for acquiring rental properties or homes for renovation in high-demand areas from Kapolei to Kaneohe.
Do you require a traditional appraisal for Oahu 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 Oahu residential real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and allows you to move quickly on investment opportunities.
