Google 5-Star Rated Direct Hard Money Lender
A CA hard money loan is short-term, asset-based financing secured by real estate. Conventional loans and traditional financing rely heavily on credit history and income verification for loan approval. Hard money loans present an easy alternative to those with poor credit, bankruptcies, or other blemishes in their financial history.
We’re proud of our fast funding and transparent approval process for California borrowers. Here are a few recently funded hard money loans in California:
