Hard Money Lender - Houston, TX

Hard Money Lender in Houston.

Direct hard money loans for Houston real estate investors: bridge loans that close like cash, fix and flip loans that fund the renovation, ground-up construction, and 30-year DSCR rental loans. Instant term sheet, close in 2 weeks.

Houston is the largest city in Texas and one of the largest investor markets in the country, with no zoning, a huge stock of postwar housing, and a rental market that keeps growing with the population.

01 - Houston Market

Houston: the biggest inventory of renovation-grade houses in the state.

Cash-only listings in Houston cluster in the older neighborhoods inside and just outside the loop and in the first-ring suburbs: houses with foundation, roof or flood history that a conventional buyer cannot finance and an investor can fix. The fix and flip loan funds the purchase and the renovation together at 10% down with experience, pays the work in draws, and closes in 2 weeks. Larger renovations go to the desk by pre-screen.

Houston is a strong coverage market for the hold: rents are healthy against moderate purchase prices, and the DSCR loan generally carries a single-family rental or a small multifamily building. Insurance and property taxes are the two lines to price early. Bridge loans cover the fast purchase and the maturing-loan refinance, and every Houston listing in our book is priced with these programs at its list price.
