Closed my first deal with Max and the Express Capital Financing team. They are great hard money lenders and were super attentive throughout the entire process. My appraisal came in low, however they managed to make my deal work with the original numbers. Thank you, Max and team. I appreciate you guys and will definitely be coming back to do more business with the Express Capital Financing team.

You should not hesitate in at least contacting Express Capital Financing to explore what they can do for you in helping finance and build a profitable real estate portfolio.

Ask for Max. Very good company. Very personable and professional. I plan to do many more deals with these guys. Great for fix and flips and buy and holds. The guys here know how to get a loan through. They understand what it takes to get a loan passed. We had a hiccup with our appraisal as it didn’t come in as high as we had hoped. But the guys here were able to qualify me with a different program and get the loan pushed through with ease.

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.
