Types of Loans We Fund

Long Beach Sunset

We finance the following types of private money loans in Long Beach:

  • Cash-out
  • Purchase
  • Probate
  • Bridge
  • Fix and Flip

Our underwriting process is simple, with a significant emphasis on the loan to the value of the property. 

As bridge lenders, we want to make sure the borrower has enough skin in the game, is able to make the monthly mortgage payments, and has an exit strategy for when the hard money loan matures. 

Why Use a Local Long Beach Hard Money Lender?

Investors often have a choice between selecting a nationwide hard money lender or a local hard money lender.

Local hard money lenders like Crescent Lenders have strong market knowledge of the local neighborhoods, while nationwide lenders cover too many areas to assess deals as quickly as us.

We usually meet our borrowers face to face and personally inspect the property being used as collateral for the bridge loan.

We have been providing fast and reliable service for over a decade, and customer satisfaction is our top priority. See what our customers have to say about us below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hard Money Loans Long Beach

What Is Hard Money?

What Is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan, also known as a bridge, private, or gap loan, is secured by a "hard asset" like commercial, industrial, or residential real estate.

It is generally a short-term loan (6 to 60 months) issued by private or commercial investors.

Why Use a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan has advantages over a traditional bank loan:

  • the approval process is much faster (5 to 7 days vs 30 days)
  • fewer requirements
  • easier to qualify
  • flexible repayment schedules
  • better option for those with low credit scores, the self-employed, or with a difficult financial history, such as a foreclosure or bankruptcy
What Determines the Cost of a Hard Money Loan?
  • experience in the fix and flip industry
  • additional sources of income
  • your exit strategy from the loan
  • and most importantly, the underlying value of the hard asset
What Types of Clients Utlise This Product?

Real Estate Investors, such as:

  • Fix and Flippers
  • Refinancers
  • Real Estate Developers

Our Lending Process

How Fast Can I Expect My Money?

From start to finish, the approval process can take as little as 5 to 7 business days.

How Do You Determine the Rate?

Rates are determined by:

  • the underlying value of the asset
  • the location of the asset
  • how much the borrower is putting down
  • credit score
  • additional sources of income
  • property type
How Do You Value a Property?

We will do your analysis from recently sold comparable properties and have an appraiser visit the property.

What Is the Approval Process?

The approval process involves a brief call with Russ to collect general background information regarding your financing needs and history.

After this pre-approval phone call, your information will be verified through our underwriting process.

Once verified, we will send you a term sheet. If you accept, you will receive the funds in your account.

What if My Credit Score Is Low?

While credit score is a factor, bad credit is not a deal breaker, as many factors are considered:

  • experience in the fix and flip industry
  • additional sources of income
  • most importantly, the underlying value of the hard asset
