I have closed many loans with SFR Capital. The loan process is simple, quick and dependable. They helped me through the whole procedure and made everything so easy. I highly recommend SFR Capital to any business needing a residential real estate hard loan in Florida.

Traditional lenders do not understand how to underwrite my real estate investment loans. SFR Capital does not require hard credit report, bank statements, tax returns, outside appraisal or outside inspections. SFR does not charge 10 annoying junk fees to close the loan like a lot of other hard lenders. In 48 hours from completing the easy 5 minute online application, SFR Capital had given me preliminary loan approval. When the title and lien search were completed, SFR Capital funded the loan at the amount they had approved.

The banks said no, SFR Capital said yes. I had an unusual property. SFR Capital worked with me to fund and close the deal. With SFR Capital’s loan and financial backing, I’ve been able to take my business to the next level. I will definitely continue to use SFR Capital for my residential hard money loans.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a Hard Money Loan / Private Money Loan?

Hard money loans are based on the value of the real estate investment property and the equity of the property. The amount loaned is typically 60-75% of the investment property value. An SFR loan has much more flexible requirements and regulations than traditional banks and mortgage lenders.

Why use SFR Capital for your Hard Money Loans?

Traditional bank and property mortgage loans are made by highly regulated lenders that require sponsor/borrower hard credit scores, bank statements, tax returns, appraisals, outside inspections and other complicated and detailed financial information. Hard Money and Private Money Lenders like SFR Capital do not have these requirements.

Who do you lend to?

SFR Capital lends to business entities such as companies (inc), LLCs and Trusts. We do not lend to individuals or sole proprietors. The owners of the business entity borrower will be required to sign personal guarantees.

Do the owners of the borrower entity need good credit?

Good credit is not an SFR Capital loan requirement. SFR Capital underwrites the loan by looking at the value of the property, the equity or cash investment in the property and the history of the sponsor/borrower principals. SFR Capital may pull a soft credit inquiry on the borrower principals that does not cost anything and does not affect the credit scores of the principals.

How do you determine the amount of the loan?

We look to the value of the property, the equity or cash investment from the borrower/owner and the history of the borrower principals. We typically lend 60% to 75% of the value of the property as determined by SFR Capital. SFR Capital will give you a preliminary loan amount approval email within 48 hours of submission of the 5 minute online application.

How long does it take to close and fund a SFR Capital loan?

We can fund your loan as soon as the title and lien search are completed, the proper insurance is in place and a correct settlement statement has been circulated and approved. These items can take anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. Once you are approved by SFR Capital for a loan, we will be happy to speak with a Seller to work with you to obtain a closing extension should we need time to close your property transaction.

Can I get a proof of funds letter from SFR Capital?

Yes. SFR Capital will provide a proof of funds letter for the amount of the loan after loan approval.
