Our Services
Fix & Flip
Flipping property is a popular investment option for both individuals and institutional investors. Fix-and-flip loans help bridge the gap between the buyer’s capital and the property’s purchase price and renovation costs. These loans are short-term in nature and are typically repaid with proceeds from the property sale.
Buy & Hold
Buy and hold real estate is a long term investment strategy where an investor purchases a property and holds on to it for an extended period of time. The owner typically has the intent to sell it down the line, but will rent out the property until then to help with buy and hold real estate financing.
Renovate
Where hard money loans shine is renovation financing. Most hard money lenders cover 100% of the renovation costs and release the funds in a series of draws, based on a mutually agreed-upon draw schedule (more on this later).
Bridge
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used until a person or company secures permanent financing or removes an existing obligation. It allows the user to meet current obligations by providing immediate cash flow.

A big part of my success comes from your contribution as a lender. So thank you for assisting me with making it to the finish line!” – V/R, Christina T
- Testimonial 2“I also want to say THANK YOU for all support and guidance you have provided me over the past couple of years. While Cherri was tough, you have kept me out of a lot of other deals that could have been worse. At the same time, you have helped me evaluate and determine what a good deal looks like … all without the guise of charging $10-20K for helping someone out. I also appreciate the quality of service, responsiveness, and flexibility you have shown on your lending deals, especially on this one with Juan and I as our situation fluctuated!”…
- Testimonial 1“I just wanted to thank you for everything that you’ve done, and for all of your hard work. I honestly feel like I can not say it enough.

I want to thank you for your support and loan extensions throughout this process. I have gained a lot of invaluable knowledge and lessons learned to use for my next project.
