We have been able to close loans in as little as five days, but the speed of our loan process mainly relies on how fast the borrower can get us the necessary documents. Closing speed is also contingent on when we receive the requested documents from title and insurance.

We can close in as little as 5-12 business days, with our fastest closing time being within 72 hours.

Our down payment requirements vary based on several factors, including the investor’s experience and the equity and value of the property. While down payments are typically expected, we do understand that there may be special circumstances where a down payment is not required.

As a hard money lending institution, we prioritize evaluating the specifics of the subject property rather than heavily relying on credit checks. However, to offer you the most favorable rate, we may conduct a soft-pull credit check and ask for a certain down payment.

While credit checks play a role in determining the rate, they are not the sole determining factor. We understand that everyone’s financial situation is unique, and we work to accommodate a variety of circumstances.

Each loan program we offer has different credit requirements, but our minimum credit score requirement is 600. Please keep in mind that meeting the credit requirements is just one aspect of the overall evaluation process, and other factors related to the subject property will also be considered.


Our main focus is to provide you with a financing solution that suits your needs, considering factors beyond just credit. Our team is here to guide you through the process and determine the specific requirements based on the loan program you choose.

Yes, having insurance on the property is required. If you do not have insurance set up before you apply, then you will have to have it by the time of closing. We have our own in-house insurance agent who is quick and reliable, for borrowers to use if they do not have their own.

We do not require income verification for our programs. If you’re interested in learning more about our specific programs and the documentation needed, please send us a direct message and we will be happy to provide you with more detailed information.

The preferred and more advanced way to request construction draws is through the SiteWire app. This innovative app empowers borrowers to take on the role of inspectors themselves, providing a more efficient and streamlined experience.

If you prefer to use our legacy method, you can simply click on our draw request page under the services menu on our website.

It’s important to note that for our 5% down program, the 5% down payment will be calculated based on 5% of the purchase price and the rehab amount.
