When Might You Need a Hard Money Loan?
Hard money loans are short — measured in months, not years. They have interest-only payments and a lump-sum payoff at the end.
As direct CRE hard money lenders, we care more about the property, not the borrower.
You need to close much faster than a bank can review your deal.
The property is distressed or needs repairs before it can qualify for bank financing.
You need short-term capital for a value-add play.
You need a quick refinance to avoid default on a maturing loan.
You’re buying at auction or in a competitive situation.
You need to pay cash now and refinance later once the dust settles.
Your documentation is non-standard.

How to apply / What borrowers need?

- Loan request with deal basics
- Purchase contract (if you are buying) or payoff statement (if you are refinancing)
- Recent bank statement(s) showing funds to close/reserves

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the usual terms offered by commercial real estate hard money lenders?
Hard money loans have shorter repayment periods compared to traditional commercial mortgages. At Private Capital Investors, we offer terms ranging from 3 to 24 months. Your specific terms will depend on factors like your property’s loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and the scope of your project.
Am I eligible for your commercial real estate hard money loan?
Send us your loan request to find out. At Private Capital Investors, we focus primarily on your property’s value instead of your credit history when reviewing your application. However, like all other commercial real estate hard money lenders we also consider a few important factors, such as your equity and your exit strategy. Being clear about these matters will help your application.
Why do I need an exit strategy for a hard money loan?
Your exit strategy shows commercial real estate hard money lenders how you plan to repay your financing. Aside from showing how the project is expected to generate enough funds, it also has to show what you intend to do in case something doesn’t go well, such as if construction costs increase or you can’t secure permanent financing. Commercial real estate hard money lenders want to know that you have a backup plan to repay your loan when it matures.
What happens if I don't repay or refinance on time?
Hard money lenders use your property as collateral, so missing your repayment deadline can put your investment at risk. Depending on your loan agreement and applicable laws, your lender may also charge additional fees or begin foreclosure proceedings if you can’t repay or refinance on time.
What should I know about LTV and ARV in hard money loans?
Commercial real estate hard money lenders use two important figures to determine your potential loan amount:
- Loan-to-value (LTV) – Compares your loan amount to the property’s current market value.
- After-repair value (ARV) – Estimates what your property could be worth after renovations.
Here at Private Capital Investors, we can finance up to 85% of your property’s fair market value or projected ARV, depending on the program and your eligibility.
When should I consider taking out a hard money loan?
Consider a hard money loan when you need quick financing for a short-term commercial real estate investment. For example, you might find a commercial property that needs extensive renovations before you can rent it out or resell it. A hard money loan could help you secure the property and complete the improvements.
When should I not consider hard money loans?
Hard money loans may not suit you if you plan to hold the property for several years or if don’t have a reliable repayment strategy. Because the rates are higher, you could end up paying significantly more in interest if your project takes longer than expected.
Can I use a hard money loan for bridge financing?
Yes. Suppose you want to purchase a commercial property using money from the sale of another asset, but haven’t sold that existing asset yet. In this case, commercial real estate hard money lenders can help you complete the purchase while you wait for the sale or arrange long-term financing.
How do I pick a hard money lender?
Look for a direct private lender with experience in commercial real estate financing, since traditional banks and credit unions generally don’t offer these loans.
When you choose Private Capital Investors, you can be sure that you’re working with experienced and nationally recognized direct commercial real estate hard money lenders. We take the time to understand your investment goals and identify the types of financing that fit your needs.
