Hard money lenders care about one thing: the property. They lend against after-repair value (ARV) — what the home is worth after renovations.
Most lenders want 30–40% equity in the deal. Strong deals get funded even with bruised credit or thin income documentation.
Hard money lenders are private capital shops — not banks. They underwrite fast because they're lending their own money.
SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders, including hard money sources that actively fund San Bernardino County deals.
The deals that kill hard money approvals in Hesperia? Overestimated ARV. Get a realistic comp pull before you commit to a purchase price.
Rehab budget padding is just as dangerous. Lenders see inflated scopes constantly. Come in with contractor bids, not ballpark numbers.
DSCR loans are for stabilized rentals. Bridge loans cover transition periods. Hard money is for acquisition and rehab — when the property needs work.
Conventional loans won't touch distressed properties. Hard money was designed for exactly those deals.
Hesperia has a steady supply of older homes needing updates. That makes it a workable market for investors running fix-and-flip strategies.
San Bernardino County recording offices and title timelines affect close speed. Factor local escrow timelines into your exit strategy.
Many hard money lenders fund in 5–10 business days. Have your purchase contract and scope of work ready before you apply.
Most hard money lenders don't have a firm score minimum. The deal's equity and ARV matter far more than your credit profile.
ARV is after-repair value — the projected value once renovations are done. Lenders base your loan amount on a percentage of ARV.
You can acquire with hard money, then refinance into a DSCR loan once the property is stabilized and leased.
Yes. California-licensed brokers and lenders can originate hard money loans under state real estate law.
Most are 6–24 month terms with interest-only payments. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
