We've funded loans in as little as 24 hours during our peak season. We can make sure you have funding on time.
Our local team has experience rehabbing and flipping. We know the market and have our own numbers. We can be your edge in funding the right deals.
All loans are processed in-house. Our team knows the market and your deals to ensure win-win solutions. Nothing is outsourced.
You'll always talk to one of our local team members directly. There are no robots or annoying automated call menus here!
Every loan goes through our standardized process to ensure win-win deals every time.
Here our focus is making sure you can comfortably make payments, fund unexpected things that come up during the rehab and still pay personal bills on time. We want to make sure people are financially prepared to rehab houses or do the BRRRR method.
This is our version of an appraisal. The benefit to this is it’s so much more than an appraisal at no cost. A team member walks through the property, listens to your plan, lets you know if the rehab makes sense, if there’s something different you could do to possibly help you make more money and run numbers specific to your rehab plan.
After the walkthrough, we go back and run numbers to figure out what we feel is a reasonable ARV (After Repair Value). From there, we lend up to 75% of that ARV. If you’re not all in at 75%, we’ll have you put money down on the purchase for that difference.
You never have to question if your funds will be at the closing table the day of closing. Once we approve a loan, we guarantee your funds will be there for the day of closing.
After the loan is approved, a team member will come and check in on the property to make sure progress is being made. If a borrower wants to meet us out there to brainstorm ideas, trouble shoot, etc., a team member will come out once or twice to give assistance if asked.
Our focus is to work with repeat borrowers. We want to ensure the process goes great so the loan pays off and we continue to do deals together for years to come!

If you are a real estate investor in Saint Louis you may be interested in what a hard money lender is. They are basically private companies that offer short-term loans for real estate investments. Traditional banks do not like to do short-term loans and especially on properties that are run down and need a lot of work.
Hard money lenders primarily have two types of clients. The rehabber who is buying a house, rehabbing the property, and then re-selling it to a homeowner. In this scenario, the hard money lender will determine what they believe the house will sell for after it has been rehabbed. This is considered the ARV (After Repaired Value). The hard money lender will typically lend up to 75% of this ARV and this could be a portion or all of the purchase price as well as all or a portion of the rehab costs. The client will pay off the loan when they sell the property to the homeowner. A typical hard money loan is for six months and can be extended a few months if needed and the borrower is progressing well.
The second type of client for a typical hard money lender is a landlord following the BRRRR Method. There are many articles on the BRRRR Method but as part of the BRRRR Method, the landlord will buy the property at a discount and need short-term funding to purchase and rehab the property. The hard money lender handles this type of financing. Once the property is fixed up nicely and rented to a good tenant the owner will refinance the house with a local bank or mortgage broker for long-term financing and the hard money lender will be paid off at this time.
Hard money lenders help investors with short-term financing for properties they purchase below market and typically they need to be rehabbed. This type of financing is a bit more risky and therefore most banks do not like to do these types of loans. Hard money lenders are a very important partner for the real estate investor.
