No. Since the loan is backed by the real property itself, we tend to look more closely at the value of the property. That said, it is imperative to disclose any past bankruptcies, foreclosures, charge-offs, collections or anything that could affect a deal.

Hard money loans provide the quick capital needed to purchase, refurbish, or stabilize investment properties. While every deal is unique, our streamlined process allows many transactions to close in as little as 10–14 days.

Interest rates vary among private real estate lenders and are influenced by many factors, including but not limited to the borrower’s needs, property type, loan-to-value, location, cash flow, and overall loan structure. Because every deal is unique, rates are determined case by case.

The market shifts daily, and so do available financing terms. However, you can always be assured that Community Capital Holdings will provide the most attractive rate possible for your specific scenario.

While private lending typically carries higher rates than traditional bank financing, it remains a compelling option for investors who need to move quickly without sacrificing equity.

Based on the real property value that Community Capital Holdings determines, we take a maximum of 60%; for example if we placed the value on a property of $1 million, the maximum amount of the loan would be $600,000.
