A hard money loan is a short-term loan that is used to acquire and rehab investment properties. Hard money loans typically fund 100% of repair costs and ~90% of acquisitions costs.

Hard money loans offer many advantages over traditional sources of capital including:

• Maximize investor returns by reducing out of pocket expenses
• Provide for faster closes giving investors an advantage over traditional sources of capital
• Increase investor liquidity
• Reduced qualification requirements including credit score

Prior to the approval of the deal, the investor will submit a detailed, itemized budget of repairs to Longleaf. After closing, the investor will fund each stage of repairs. Upon completion of each stage of repairs, the investor will submit an itemized draw request to Longleaf. Longleaf will send an inspector to verify the work is completed and of good workmanship quality. After the inspection is complete, Longleaf will refund the investor for the repairs per the itemized budget submitted in the approval process.

Yes. We will consider extensions provided the loan is in good standing. Extensions typically last 3-6 months.

In cooperation with the investor, Longleaf runs its own comps to arrive at an After Repair Value (“ARV”). Longleaf will determine it’s loan to ARV based on the projects profitability and investor experience. We typically fund 70-75% of ARV.

We do not front repair costs.

Typically around 10% of the purchase price. However, we’ll consider any deal based on our history with the borrower and the merits of the deal.
