Hard Money Lender - San Diego, CA

Hard Money Lender in San Diego.

Direct hard money loans for San Diego 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, or 3 days with 35% down.

San Diego County runs from the beach cities to El Cajon and Escondido, and its investor market is defined by scarce inventory and a housing stock that is older than it looks.

01 - San Diego Market

San Diego: tight inventory, older stock, fast closings.

The San Diego listings that ask for cash are usually mid-century houses in the older neighborhoods, City Heights, North Park, La Mesa, Spring Valley, El Cajon, and the properties east and south of the 805 where a renovation adds real value. Sellers in this market get several offers, and the one that can close in days without an appraisal tends to win. That is our 3-day option: 35% down, the property valued from recent sales, the close before the financed offers have cleared inspection.

Renovators use the fix and flip loan, which funds the purchase and the budget together and pays the work in draws at 10% down with a completed project behind them. Investors who hold use the DSCR loan, and San Diego rents are strong enough that small multifamily usually carries the ratio; a single-family rental near the coast is tighter. Both loans come from the same team, so the takeout is already in motion when the bridge closes.
