FAQ

Who is Eligible for Financing?

We know how challenging it can be for landlords and commercial property owners/investors to secure funding for real estate. At this time, we only provide financing to commercial clients/investors who are LLCs and corporations for nonowner-occupied properties.

What States Do Express Capital Financing Service?

We provide funding nationwide, with the exception of the following states: Nevada, South Dakota and North Dakota

How Long Does it Take to Close?

Our closing process can be as short as 7 days. After the first deal is in, we can close in 5-7 days. Our processing clock starts from the initial point of contact.

How Much Financing Can I Receive?

We do not provide 100 percent funding on all deals. We provide 100 percent financing for rehab expenses. For purchase contracts, we provide up to 90 percent in funding. On rehab properties, we provide financing based on the after-rehab value (ARV). Rehab borrowers can receive 75% of their property’s ARV.

Costs that borrowers are expected to cover themselves include any over budget expenses for rehab properties, loan interest and settlement fees.

What is the Loan Application Process Like?

The application process is fast and simple. Ideally, we expect potential borrowers to include in their loan application a deal summary, proposed scope of work and purchase contract.

Depending on the deal, we may also ask for property comparisons. We’ll review your application and contact you right away to discuss your investment opportunity and inform you about lending requirements and borrower expectations.

We do not require any money from you upfront. Appraisals are required for all approved applications. You do not pay any fees until you receive our terms and conditions sheet regarding your deal.

How Do I Get Started?

We know that real estate deals are time-sensitive matters. We encourage you to complete the prequalification process to know exactly where you stand with us. Our loan experts do not believe in wasting your time or giving you the runaround.

Once you complete the prequalification/preapproval process, you’ll hear back from us within 24 hours. Our loan professionals speak to and meet with all borrowers before closing.

If you have a question that is not answered here or on our full FAQ page, or you are ready to apply to get the funds you need right away, contact us at Express Capital Financing to let us know. We’ll be more than happy to address your concerns, and clear up any confusion you may have and get your funding underway.
