Financing for Each Stage of Your Project

Discuss land, construction, development, and renovation needs.


03 Refinance

Review an existing loan or discuss access to available property equity.

What Is Hard Money Lending?

Hard money financing is secured by collateral, commonly real estate. The lending review considers the property and proposed transaction, including its value, available equity, intended use, and repayment plan.

This financing can address a funding need during a property purchase, renovation, development project, or transition to another loan. Before choosing financing, understand the proposed term, interest, fees, repayment obligations, and intended exit.


Questions to Consider

  • Does the repayment period fit my project?
  • What is the complete borrowing cost?
  • What collateral and documentation are required?
  • What payments will be due during the loan?
  • How will the loan be repaid at maturity?
  • What if my project or exit takes longer than expected?

Different transactions call for different financing structures. Explore the purpose and potential uses of each program.

Bridge Loans

Short-term financing between your purchase and your next step.

Bridge loans can support a property purchase or renovation while you arrange a sale, longer-term financing, or another planned transaction. The structure connects an immediate funding need with an intended repayment

  • Property acquisitions
  • Renovation transitions
  • Financing needs before a sale or refinance
  • Transactions with a defined short-term exit

  • Program details

    Discuss the property location, requested amount, target closing date, and expected repayment plan. These details help the team assess whether a bridge structure fits the transaction.

Commercial Hard Money Loans

Property-backed financing for commercial real estate.


Explore financing for acquiring, refinancing, developing, or improving commercial property. The review considers the property, its income potential, and the proposed transaction.

  • Office and retail properties
  • Warehouses and industrial buildings
  • Multifamily buildings with five or more units
  • Mixed-use properties

Commercial program: up to 60% loan-to-value


  • Understanding the commercial limit

    Loan-to-value compares the proposed loan amount with the property's accepted value. This published figure applies specifically to the commercial program. Available financing remains subject to property review and underwriting.

Construction & Land Loans

Financing options for acquiring land and moving a construction project forward.


Construction and land financing can support homesite purchases, custom-home construction, and larger development plans. The site, proposed use, project stage, and budget provide the starting point for evaluating the request.

  • Land and homesite purchases
  • New construction
  • Custom-home projects
  • Development parcels

  • Program details

    Prepare proposed plans, estimated costs, project schedule, builder information, and current permit or entitlement status. Ask how funding would be disbursed and which conditions would apply.

Private Money Loans

Collateral-based financing with an individual review of your circumstances.


Private money financing considers the proposed collateral, funding purpose, and repayment structure. It may provide an option for requests that require a more individual discussion of the asset and transaction.

  • Property-related funding needs
  • Investment opportunities
  • Financing circumstances requiring individual program review

  • Program details

    Discuss the collateral you would offer, how the funds would be used, and how financing would be repaid. Personal-use requests, owner occupancy, and acceptable collateral require program confirmation.

Acquisition & Development Financing

Financing for acquiring a property and pursuing its next stage of development.


Acquisition and development financing brings the purchase and proposed project into the same discussion. It can address transactions involving a parcel, existing property, improvements, or a broader development plan.

  • Property and parcel acquisition
  • Development projects
  • Improvements or redevelopment
  • A purchase followed by additional work

  • Program details

    Prepare the acquisition price, site information, scope, budget, schedule, and repayment strategy. Establish which project stages the proposed loan would cover and which conditions would apply.

Probate, Estate, Trust & Inheritance Loans

Financing discussions for circumstances involving estate or trust assets.


Estate, trust, probate, and inheritance situations can involve assets not immediately available as cash. Financing may address estate expenses, property maintenance, and settlement obligations.

  • Estate-related liquidity
  • Trust property expenses
  • Property maintenance
  • Funding discussions during probate or inheritance

  • Program details

    Discuss the assets, purpose, ownership, authority to borrow, and current stage of the matter. Eligibility and documentation depend on the circumstances. Financing does not replace the applicable estate or legal process.

Investment Property Loans

Explore financing for your next property investment.


Investment-property financing can support rental acquisitions, fix-and-flip projects, and other real estate investment plans. The property and intended strategy guide the discussion, whether the goal is renovation and resale or preparing a property for rental use.

  • Fix-and-flip projects
  • Rental-property acquisitions
  • Condominium investments
  • Multifamily investments

  • Program details

    Prepare the purchase price, anticipated work, budget, and intended sale or refinance. Confirm the actual repayment schedule and exit requirements. A long-term hold does not automatically establish a long-term loan.

Cash-Out & Refinance Loans

Review existing financing or explore access to available property equity.


Refinancing can replace an existing loan with a new financing arrangement. A cash-out request may provide proceeds against available equity for an eligible improvement, investment, or other approved purpose.

  • Replacing existing financing
  • Property improvements
  • Accessing eligible property equity
  • A new financing need involving an existing property

  • Program details

    Prepare the property's estimated value, current loan balance, desired proceeds, and intended use. Compare proposed interest, fees, term, and obligations with the existing financing. Refinancing does not automatically reduce total costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understand the available options, the information involved, and what to expect from a financing discussion.

  • Who can discuss a financing request?

    Property investors, business owners, developers, and property owners can describe their needs to the team. Available programs depend on the property, borrower, and loan purpose. Estate- and trust-related requests require a review of their particular circumstances.

  • What kinds of properties are considered?

    See Loan Options for examples of the property types covered by each program. Describe your asset's use, location, and condition so the team can confirm the appropriate program and its property requirements.

  • What loan amount can I qualify for?

    There is no single quoted amount for every borrower. Share the property value, existing debt, and desired proceeds. The team can discuss the loan size and required contribution available for the transaction.

  • What interest rate and fees will apply?

    Request an individualized quote showing the rate, fees, repayment terms, and closing conditions. Review the complete proposed financing before deciding whether to proceed.

  • How quickly can a loan close?

    Share your required closing date at the start. The timeline depends on the transaction and completion of the necessary review, documents, and closing conditions. The team can discuss what is realistic after understanding your request.

  • Is qualification based only on property value?

    Property value and equity are important parts of the discussion, but they do not establish approval on their own. Ask which borrower, credit, documentation, and repayment requirements apply to the program being considered.

  • Can I finance a home I intend to live in, or a personal-use request?

    Explain the intended occupancy, funding purpose, and proposed collateral at the start. The team must confirm whether an appropriate program is available for those circumstances.

  • Can I refinance an existing loan or request cash out?

    Cash-out and refinance financing is among the programs offered for review. Provide the existing balance, property information, desired proceeds, and intended use. Compare the new loan's full costs and obligations with your current arrangement.

  • Can I discuss land or a construction project?

    Yes. Share the site, project stage, proposed plans, estimated budget, and timeline. The team can explain what additional information is needed to evaluate the land or construction request.

  • Does requesting a quote mean that I am approved?

    No. A quote request starts the review process. Any financing remains subject to the applicable underwriting, approval, documentation, and closing conditions.
