Hard money lenders care about the property, not your tax returns. The asset secures the loan.
Most lenders want 30-40% equity or a strong after-repair value. Credit matters less here than the deal.
Hard money lenders are private — banks don't offer this. Rates and terms vary wildly across lenders.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. We match your deal to the right private lender fast.
The biggest mistake investors make is waiting. San Clemente sellers won't hold for a 45-day conventional close.
Hard money buys you time and speed. Use it to acquire, renovate, then refinance into long-term DSCR financing.
Bridge loans are similar but typically for stabilized assets. Hard money fits renovation and distressed deals better.
DSCR loans are long-term and income-based. Hard money is short-term and asset-based. They serve different stages.
San Clemente's coastal location supports strong after-repair values. That helps your hard money math work.
Older beach-area homes often need work. That creates real fix-and-flip opportunity for experienced investors.
Many hard money loans close in 7-14 days. Speed depends on how quickly the property appraises and title clears.
Most cap at 65-70% of the property value or after-repair value. Stronger deals may get slightly better terms.
Yes — fix-and-flip is the most common use. The lender funds acquisition and sometimes renovation draws.
You sell, refinance into a DSCR loan, or pay it off. Plan your exit before you close — lenders expect it.
Credit matters less than the deal quality. A strong property with real equity can offset a weaker credit profile.
Yes, significantly. Rates reflect short-term risk and speed of funding. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
