For Brokers

What Initial Information Is Required?

Borrowers experience, purchase agreement, scope of work (if fix and flip or construction loan), and FICO score.

Our Lending Process

How Fast Can I Expect My Money?

From start to finish, the approval process can take as little as 5 to 7 business days.

How Do You Determine Rate?

Rates are determined by:

  • the underlying value of the asset
  • the location of the asset
  • how much the borrower is putting down
  • credit score
  • additional sources of income
  • property type
How Do You Value a Property?

We do your own analysis from recently sold comparable properties as well as have an appraiser visit the property.

What Is the Approval Process?

The approval process involves a brief phone call with Russ, to collect general background information regarding your financing needs and history.

After this pre-approval phone call your information will be verified through our underwriting process.

Once verified we will send you a term sheet and if you accept, you will receive the funds in your account.

What if My Credit Score Is Low?

While credit score is a factor, bad credit is not a deal breaker as many factors are considered:

  • experience in the fix and flip industry
  • additional sources of income
  • most importantly, the underlying value of the hard asset
