Frequently Asked Questions — East Palo Alto

What types of investment loans do you offer in East Palo Alto?
We offer Fix & Flip bridge loans, Ground Up Construction loans, Stabilized Bridge loans, Single Property DSCR Rental loans, and Rental Portfolio blanket loans — all available for residential investment properties (non-owner-occupied) in East Palo Alto and throughout San Mateo County.
How fast can I close a hard money loan in East Palo Alto?
Most fix & flip and bridge loans in East Palo Alto close in 5–10 business days from completed application. Ground-up construction loans typically take 10–15 business days due to draw schedule review. Speed is our primary advantage in East Palo Alto's competitive investment market.
What LTV do you lend for fix-and-flip loans in East Palo Alto?
We lend up to 90% of purchase price and 100% of rehab costs on fix-and-flip loans in East Palo Alto, subject to a maximum of 75% of the after-repair value (ARV). Given East Palo Alto's over $900K median home price, this allows investors to finance the majority of their acquisition and renovation costs with minimal equity required upfront.
Do you lend on multifamily properties in East Palo Alto?
Yes — we lend on 1–4 unit residential investment properties in East Palo Alto, including single-family homes, condos, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. All properties must be non-owner-occupied investment properties. We do not lend on owner-occupied primary residences or commercial properties.
What is a DSCR loan and does it make sense for East Palo Alto rentals?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan qualifies based on the rental income the property generates, not the borrower's personal income or tax returns. For East Palo Alto landlords — especially self-employed investors — this removes the biggest obstacle to portfolio growth. We lend up to 80% LTV on DSCR loans in East Palo Alto.
