What is a Hard Money Loan?

A short-term, asset-based financing solution designed for real estate investors.

Similar to Bridge Loans, Hard Money loans are intermediary loan options for individuals looking to invest in real estate. They’re short-term loans that can be accredited based on the value of the investment property over the borrower’s credit situation. Traditional banks and other financial institutions typically do not offer hard money loans. These loans can be obtained from private lenders such as Community Capital.

How Our Loan Application Process Works

In real estate timing is everything and we’re here to help you act quickly.

A hard money loan is a short-term, asset-based loan funded by a private lender rather than a bank. Approval is based primarily on the value of the property, not the borrower’s credit score or income history — making it an ideal solution for real estate investors who need to move fast.
We fund a wide range of investment properties throughout Florida, including residential investment properties, commercial properties, mixed-use buildings, and renovation projects. The property must be located in Florida.
Yes. Community Capital is a direct private lender with in-house underwriting. There are no middlemen, which means faster decisions and more flexible terms than you’d get through a broker-dependent lender.
We issue credit decisions within 24 hours and can close in a matter of days, depending on the deal. Our in-house underwriting team handles everything directly — no third-party delays.
No. Hard money loans are asset-based, meaning approval is driven by the value of the property and the strength of the deal — not your credit profile. Borrowers with past credit issues are still eligible.
As a general guideline, we typically work with loan amounts starting at $400,000, with a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) of 60% and a maximum loan-to-cost (LTC) of 60%. Loan terms typically run 12–24 months. These are marketing benchmarks, not strict cutoffs — we evaluate every deal on its own merits and may exceed these parameters for strong opportunities.
