The Process

From inquiry to funding in four steps

01

Submit Inquiry

Share your deal basics through the inquiry form. A senior lender — not a call center — reviews it within one business day.

02

Term Sheet

You receive an indicative term sheet with rate, LTV, term, and conditions tailored to your specific transaction.

03

Underwriting

We order appraisal, title, and due diligence in parallel. You submit the supporting documentation package as we go.

04

Close & Fund

Final docs are signed and funds wired. Bridge and hard money loans can close in as few as 7–14 days.
