Types of Hard Money Loans We Fund in Sacramento

A Bridge in Sacramento

We fund various hard money loans in the Sacramento area for all commercial and residential property types.

All hard money loans we fund must be secured by real estate, and we fund a variety of loan types, including:

  • Inheritance Loans: Also known as probate loans, estate loans, or trust loans, these types of loans enable heirs of an estate to access their inheritance while the probate process is being completed.
  • Fix and Flip Loans: a short-term loan to help real estate investors cover the purchase and renovation of a property that will be sold for a profit.
  • 1031 Exchange Loans: Real estate investors are subject to strict government rules regarding a 1031 exchange, and therefore, they often require a bridge loan to purchase a replacement property.
  • Purchase Loans: These are used to beat out other investors on a home with multiple offers in a competitive real estate market.
  • Cash-Out Loans: These loans are popular amongst real estate investors looking to tap into equity in their property.
  • Refinance Loans: used by property owners with an existing hard money loan that needs to be extended or by a property owner searching for a more affordable hard money loan with better terms.
  • BRRRR Loans: (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) A BRRRR loan provides an investor with capital to purchase and upgrade a distressed property and rent it out. Once the property is stabilized, the investor replaces the BRRRR loan with a traditional bank loan.

Determining Factors for Getting a Sacramento Hard Money Loan

While we consider numerous factors during our underwriting process, no component is more important than the loan-to-value ratio of the collateral property.

We want the borrower to have a decent amount of skin in the game, therefore we require a minimum of 25% equity in the property.

It’s also important for borrowers to show an ability to make the monthly interest payments and have a viable exit strategy to pay off the hard money loan.

Our borrowers' two most common exit strategies are selling the property or refinancing with a long-term traditional bank loan.

While credit score and employment history are considered, they are not crucial components to securing a private money loan with us.

What Is Hard Money?

What Is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan, also known as a bridge, private, or gap loan, is secured by a "hard asset" like commercial, industrial, or residential real estate.

It is generally a short-term loan (6 to 60 months) issued by private or commercial investors.

Why Use a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan has advantages over a traditional bank loan:

  • the approval process is much faster (5 to 7 days vs 30 days)
  • fewer requirements
  • easier to qualify
