Question 1

How fast can I close a hard money loan in Mariposa?

Accepted Answer

Most hard money loans close in 7–14 days. Rural properties can add time if appraisal access is limited.

Question 2

Do I need good credit to qualify?

Accepted Answer

No. Hard money lenders focus on property value and equity. A low credit score won't automatically kill your deal.

Question 3

What property types qualify in Mariposa County?

Accepted Answer

Cabins, rural homes, land, and small commercial properties can qualify. The asset must show clear value and a viable exit.

Question 4

What loan-to-value ratio should I expect?

Accepted Answer

Most hard money lenders cap at 65–70% LTV. Bring a strong down payment or buy at a discount to hit that number.

Question 5

Can I use a hard money loan for a short-term rental flip near Yosemite?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's a common use case here. Confirm STR zoning with the county before you structure the deal around that exit.

Question 6

How do I refinance out of a hard money loan?

Accepted Answer

Once the property is stabilized, a DSCR loan is typically the cleanest exit. We can pre-plan both loans at once.
