Frequently Asked Questions from Wilmington, NC Clients

What is a hard money loan and why is it ideal for Wilmington, NC residential investors?

Hard money loans are asset-based loans funded by private investors, not traditional banks. They are ideal for Wilmington's dynamic residential market because they offer speed, flexibility, and fewer hurdles than conventional financing, making them perfect for fix & flip, new construction of 1-4 units, or bridge loans where time is critical to acquire and develop properties in this growing coastal city.

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

We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Wilmington 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 the Wilmington and greater Coastal NC area.

What types of residential properties do you lend on in Wilmington, NC?

We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Wilmington, including single-family homes (1-4 units), small multi-family buildings (up to 20 units), townhouses, and condos, suitable for fix & flip, rental conversions, or new construction. Our focus is on the property's value and the project's profitability, not just the borrower's credit history.

Do you require an appraisal for Wilmington, NC residential properties?

To expedite the process for Wilmington investors, 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 local real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and get you funded for your residential project sooner.
