Hard money loans are built for speed. When a fix-and-flip comes up, you can't wait 45 days for a conventional approval.
Lenders focus on the property's value and your exit strategy. Your credit score matters less than it does on a conventional loan.
Hard money lenders are not banks. They're private capital funds and individual investors with their own underwriting rules.
Rates and terms swing wildly between lenders. Shopping matters — one lender's 12% could be another's 9.5%. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
The deals that fall apart aren't about rates. They're about borrowers who didn't model their rehab costs honestly.
Get your contractor bids before you apply. Lenders want to see a real budget — not a ballpark. Sloppy numbers kill Yuba City deals fast.
DSCR loans are cheaper and longer-term — but they take weeks and require a rent-ready property. Hard money wins on speed and flexibility.
Bridge loans sit between the two. If you need to carry a property short-term without rehab, a bridge might cost less than hard money.
Sutter County has a mix of older single-family homes and agricultural parcels. Hard money lenders will scrutinize rural and mixed-use collateral closely.
Yuba City's investor activity tends to be local and regional. That means less competition on deals — but also thinner comps for your ARV.
Many hard money lenders can close in 5-10 business days. Have your property details and rehab budget ready before you apply.
No. Most lenders care about the property's value and your exit plan. A 600 score won't kill your deal the way it would on a conventional loan.
Most lenders go up to 65-70% of after-repair value. Rural or unusual properties in Sutter County may see lower limits.
Yes — but hard money is short-term by design. Most investors refinance into a DSCR loan once the property is stabilized.
Usually 6 to 18 months. Extensions are available but cost extra — build that into your project timeline.
Some do, but options are limited. Agricultural collateral is specialty underwriting — not every lender in our network will touch it.
