What Can You Finance With Hard Money Lending in Pompano Beach?
Our hard money loan programs give investors flexible financing for most investment properties in Pompano:
We don’t fund ground-up construction loans, new construction loans, or land. We lend on existing buildings. Hard money lenders focus on the value of collateral for approval. The maximum loan amount from hard money lenders in general can reach $15 million. Hard money loans typically have terms of 6 to 36 months. Joint venture financing allows shared investment responsibilities.
Hard money loans need far less paperwork than traditional bank loans. Lenders release rehab funds in draws after each stage of work. Every loan is secured by non-owner-occupied real estate, and it can fund major structural or cosmetic overhauls. Some hard money loans can cover up to 100% of rehab costs, depending on the deal.
Draw schedules for rehabilitation funds may be set by the lender as work is completed.
How Can Pompano Beach’s CRA Districts Help Your Investment?
Pompano Beach runs two Community Redevelopment Agency districts, the East CRA and the Northwest CRA. The CRA reinvests property tax growth back into these areas, and it offers grants for property improvements.
The CRA awarded $350,000 in grants to bring a long-vacant, 54-year-old building at 110 to 130 N. Ocean Boulevard back to life. That included a $200,000 façade grant and a $150,000 interior grant.
Grants pay out after approval and work. As a private money lender, we fund the purchase and start the rehab, so you don’t lose the property while you wait. Send your CRA application or award letter with your loan request.
How Does Broward County’s Building Safety Inspection Affect Your Loan?
Broward County requires buildings 25 years or older to pass a structural and electrical safety inspection. An open repair order can slow your closing and lower a property’s value.
