As the borrower was already prequalified, we were able to quickly close the borrower, with minimal due diligence, in a matter of days.

EquityMax Insight

A client was put in a pinch after his other private lender backed out of the transaction 3 days before closing.  Not wanting to deal with a large, corporate hard money lender, the borrower called us for a potential quick closing.  We were able to successfully underwrite, close, and fund the deal in 3 days.  Currently, the property is being used as a rental earning a great return, and the borrower is in the process of refinancing into a long-term, traditional loan.  It just goes to show that even a rental property can be a proper opportunity for utilizing  hard money financing.

Does EquityMax finance small loans?
