Speed Over Everything

In competitive markets like Portola Valley, a 5–10 day close wins the deal. Conventional lenders can't compete with private money speed.

No Income Verification

Our DSCR rental loans qualify based on the property's cash flow, not your W-2. Self-employed investors and business owners are welcome.

Asset-Based Lending

Approval is based on the property's value and your investment plan — not a bureaucratic credit file. Credit scores as low as 620 considered.

Frequently Asked Questions — Portola Valley

What types of investment loans do you offer in Portola Valley?
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 Portola Valley and throughout San Mateo County.
How fast can I close a hard money loan in Portola Valley?
Most fix & flip and bridge loans in Portola Valley 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 Portola Valley's competitive investment market.
What LTV do you lend for fix-and-flip loans in Portola Valley?
We lend up to 90% of purchase price and 100% of rehab costs on fix-and-flip loans in Portola Valley, subject to a maximum of 75% of the after-repair value (ARV). Given Portola Valley's over $3.5M 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 Portola Valley?
Yes — we lend on 1–4 unit residential investment properties in Portola Valley, 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 Portola Valley 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 Portola Valley landlords — especially self-employed investors — this removes the biggest obstacle to portfolio growth. We lend up to 80% LTV on DSCR loans in Portola Valley.
