The loan

Short-term, interest-only loans for investors who buy, fix and sell. Every deal is different, so we build the loan around the property and your plan.

Fix & flip

Direct lender. Not a broker.

Banks take weeks and want everything perfect. We look at the deal, make the call and fund it ourselves.

Fast answers

You talk to the people who fund the loan. No committee, no middleman, no waiting on someone else's money.

The property comes first

We lend on the deal. Credit matters less. Past short sales, foreclosures and bankruptcies are okay if they're at least two years old.

Use your equity

Have equity in another property? We can cross-collateralize to get you the full amount your project needs.

We've swung the hammer

Our partners have more than 40 years of combined experience buying, building, fixing and financing real estate.

Straight answers

The questions we hear most. Anything else, just ask.

Who do you lend to?

Real estate investors buying non-owner-occupied investment property through an LLC or corporation. We don't make loans on a home you live in.

How fast can you close?

In as few as 5 business days when title is clean. Send the deal early and we'll tell you what timing looks like.

Does my credit matter?

Less than at a bank. We focus on the property and the plan. Past short sales, foreclosures and bankruptcies are okay if they're at least two years old.

How much can I borrow?

Up to 80% of the purchase price, and we can finance the rehab budget. The total loan tops out at 65% of the after-repair value. Most loans run $75,000 to $200,000, and we consider smaller and larger ones.

What does it cost?

Interest-only rates as low as 10%–12%, with points paid at closing. The borrower pays for the lender's title policy and hazard insurance.

Is there a prepayment penalty?

No. Sell or refinance whenever you're ready.

Can I use equity in another property?

Yes. We can cross-collateralize other properties you own to get you the funding your project needs.

Where do you lend?

Texas, Connecticut and Florida.
