Speed Over Everything

In competitive markets like South San Francisco, 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 — South San Francisco

What types of investment loans do you offer in South San Francisco?
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 South San Francisco and throughout San Mateo County.
How fast can I close a hard money loan in South San Francisco?
Most fix & flip and bridge loans in South San Francisco 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 South San Francisco's competitive investment market.
What LTV do you lend for fix-and-flip loans in South San Francisco?
We lend up to 90% of purchase price and 100% of rehab costs on fix-and-flip loans in South San Francisco, subject to a maximum of 75% of the after-repair value (ARV). Given South San Francisco's over $1.2M 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 South San Francisco?
Yes — we lend on 1–4 unit residential investment properties in South San Francisco, 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 South San Francisco 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 South San Francisco landlords — especially self-employed investors — this removes the biggest obstacle to portfolio growth. We lend up to 80% LTV on DSCR loans in South San Francisco.
