Frequently Asked Questions
What is a purchase or hard-money purchase loan, and how does it differ from conventional financing?
A purchase loan (also called a hard money or bridge loan) is a short-term, asset-based financing solution used primarily for acquiring investment or business-purpose properties. Unlike traditional bank loans where the borrower's income, credit score and employment history are primary factors, these loans rely largely on the collateral value of the property plus the investor’s experience.
What are the key terms, rates and underwriting criteria I should expect?
Typical hard money purchase-loan terms include:
- Loan amounts up to a stated maximum (your program allows up to $3,000,000)
- Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio up to a certain cap (you offer up to ~95% of purchase price or appraised value)
- Interest rates generally higher than conventional loans (your starting rate ~3.99%, asset/experience dependent)
- Shorter terms (you offer 12-24 months, interest-only payments)
- Entity borrowers required (LLC/Corp/LP/Trust)
- Origination points typically 1-2 points (you state 1-2 points)
- Hard-money FAQs in the field repeatedly note LTVs in the ~90-95% range, rates in the ~3-5% zone, and terms in the 6-24-month range.
What types of properties and borrowers are eligible, and what is the approval process like?
With your program: eligible borrowers are entities such as LLCs, Corps, LPs, Trusts; you focus on investment/business-purpose acquisitions for purchase, portfolio expansion or short-term bridge needs.
In general, hard money lenders approve based on property type (investment, non-owner occupied, multifamily, mixed-use) rather than owner-occupant properties.
Typical eligible properties might include single-family rental houses (SFRs), 2-4 unit properties, small multifamily (up to 8 units), mixed-use, condos/townhomes, or portfolios (which align well with your borrower target).
Your underwriting emphasises speed, less documentation (no income verification), quick closings (1-3 days) and asset-based underwriting.
What are the main advantages and potential risks I should know before opting for this type of loan? Advantages:
- Very fast closing compared to conventional loans — often days instead of many weeks.
- Fewer borrower-qualifying hurdles (less emphasis on credit/income) so investors can act on time-sensitive opportunities.
- Good for acquisitions where speed matters, or when traditional financing is not feasible.
