FAQ

Hard money loan questions.

How fast can a hard money loan close?

As fast as 7–14 days on straightforward deals, since underwriting focuses on the property and exit strategy rather than a full personal financial review.

What loan-to-value can I get on a hard money loan?

Typically up to 65–75% of as-is or as-completed value depending on the lender, property, and your experience as an investor.

Do you lend on fix-and-flip projects?

Yes — hard money is one of the most common tools for fix-and-flip purchase and rehab funding.

Is my personal credit score the main factor?

No — the deal's collateral and exit strategy carry more weight than credit alone, though credit still plays a role in pricing.
