Hard Money Loans in West Sacramento
Hard money lenders care about one thing first: the deal. They look at the property's current value and after-repair value (ARV) — not your W-2.
Most lenders want 30-35% equity in the deal. Bring a solid exit strategy and a realistic ARV, and you're most of the way there.
Hard money is not a bank product. It comes from private lenders and funds who specialize in short-term real estate deals.

Yolo County's market is smaller than Sacramento proper. Lenders still active here know the territory — working with a broker who sources regionally matters.
Most hard money loans close in 7–14 days. The timeline depends on the lender and how fast the appraisal gets done.
Credit matters less here than the deal itself. Lenders focus on property value and your exit strategy, not your credit score.

Yes, but hard money is short-term. Most investors refinance into a DSCR loan once the property is stabilized and rented.
Going over budget is the biggest risk in hard money deals. Always build a contingency into your rehab estimate before you close.
Run the numbers before you borrow. Purchase price plus rehab plus loan costs must leave enough margin at resale or refi.
