Speed Over Everything

In competitive markets like St. Helena, 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 — St. Helena

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