Frequently Asked Questions

  • A hard money loan is any loan secured by a “hard asset” like commercial or residential real estate. It is sometimes called a bridge loan, private capital loan or private loan. A hard money loan is a first mortgage on investment real estate. A hard money lender looks to the property as the primary collateral as opposed to the borrowers credit score or other factors. A hard money loan is an alternative to a traditional bank loan.

  • There are no upfront costs that Heritage Wealth Holdings LLC will charge to the borrower, the only cost that a borrower may be paying before close will be an appraisal - but that is done to a 3rd party, not to us.

  • Generally, for residential bridge, ground-up, and fix-and-flip transactions there are no pre-payment penalties. For long-term loans, pre-payment penalties are standard but can be negotiated down to no pre-payment.

  • Getting a hard money loan is traditionally much faster than getting a traditional loan from a bank. That’s because the lender does not have to verify all your financial information. With Heritage Wealth Holdings LLC, you can get a hard money loan in an average of 14 days.

  • Typically lending on residential assets from 1-9 units. We will consider 10+ units on a case-by-case basis. For these residential properties, we will look at ground-up, fix-and-flip, rental, or strictly bridge projects.

  • Generally for residential projects, our minimum loan amount will be $200,000 and a maximum of $5,000,000. We will consider higher/lower loan amounts on a case-by-case basis with mitigating circumstances. For large-scale development projects or multifamily/commercial projects we have higher limits.

  • Here is a basic overview of the necessary documents that our loan officers will request/need from you:

    1) Loan Application

    2) 2 Months Bank Statements

    3) Driver's License

    4) Entity Documents (if property is vested in an entity)

    5) Appraisal

    6) Lease agreements + rent verification (if a DSCR loan)

    7) Scope of Work/Rehab Budget (if fix-and-flip)

    And that is IT for the majority of transactions we originate. We make it as easy as possible to receive financing.

  • Getting a traditional mortgage from a bank to rehab a property is difficult because banks don’t want to lend money to homebuyers who are not going to live in the home. Banks that lend this money do so at a higher interest rate, and approval takes so long that you often miss out on the sale. With a hard money loan, you get your cash quickly — within days. Sometimes a hard cash loan is the only avenue available for purchasing an investment property.
