Questions, Answered

Charleston Hard Money FAQ

What is a hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a short-term, asset-based real estate loan funded by a private lender rather than a bank. Approval is based primarily on the property and the deal β€” not your credit score β€” so investors can close in days instead of weeks.

How fast can you close in Charleston?

Most loans close in a matter of days once the property and title are in order. Because we're a direct lender, there's no loan committee or bank red tape slowing things down.

What does it cost?

A flat 12% rate with zero points and zero fees. No origination points, no processing, application, doc, or payoff fees, and no prepayment penalty. You only pay interest for the time you borrow.

How much can I borrow?

Up to 85% of total project cost (loan-to-cost), covering both purchase and renovation on qualifying deals.

What types of projects qualify?

Non-owner-occupied investment property only: fix & flips, bridge loans, new construction, and rental acquisitions or cash-out refinances. We do not make consumer or owner-occupied home loans.

Do you check credit?

No credit check. Our lending is asset-based β€” we underwrite the property and the project, not your FICO score.
