Hard Money Lender - Tampa and Orlando, FL

Hard Money Lender in Tampa and Orlando.

Direct hard money loans for Tampa and Orlando 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.

Tampa, St. Petersburg and Orlando anchor the fastest-growing corridor in Florida, with a large stock of 1950s to 1980s housing and a rental market that keeps pace with the people moving in.

01 - Central Florida Market

Tampa Bay and Orlando: the I-4 corridor is a renovation market.

Cash-only listings on the I-4 corridor are usually older block houses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park and Lakeland, and in the Orlando neighborhoods and Kissimmee, that need a full update. The fix and flip loan funds the purchase and the budget together at 10% down with experience and pays the work in draws; the bridge loan closes the purchase that will not wait. Instant term sheet, close in 2 weeks.

Central Florida is a good coverage market: rents are strong against purchase prices that are still moderate, so the DSCR loan usually carries a single-family rental or a small multifamily building. Insurance is the line to price early anywhere in Florida. The takeout comes from the same team that closed the bridge, and every corridor listing in our book is priced on these programs at its list price.
