Irvine Hard Money Loans
Irvine Investor Financing
Buying a Irvine property to renovate, rent or resell is a business decision, and the financing differs from a regular home loan. Jay Romero helps investors connect with private lenders for non-owner-occupied real estate in the Central Orange County area. Irvine is a master-planned city home to the University of California, Irvine, Irvine Spectrum Center, and the Orange County Great Park.
Business-Purpose Uses
Typical business-purpose uses include: Fix-and-flip: buy a house that needs work, renovate it and resell it. Bridge financing between one property and the next. Buy-and-hold rentals that may later move to longer-term financing. Ground-up construction or major additions on investment lots. In Irvine, HOA approvals and rental rules can shape a project, so they belong in the plan you show a lender.
What Private Lenders Look At
Private lenders focus on the real estate and the exit strategy rather than only on bank-style guidelines. Expect questions about the price, the work budget, the after-repair value and your payoff plan. Investors in Tustin, Lake Forest and Laguna Hills can reach us the same way.

Irvine Hard Money FAQs
How long does it take to close?
It depends on the lender, title, escrow and valuation. We cannot promise a closing date.
Can the loan be made to my LLC?
Many private lenders lend to LLCs and other entities. Ask your attorney or tax advisor how to hold title.
Private, business-purpose loans for non-owner-occupied real estate only, not for a home you will live in. Funded by third-party private lenders or investors, not by Miamar Realty. They usually cost more than bank loans and may end in a balloon payment. If you cannot sell or refinance in time, you could lose the property. This is not a commitment to lend. All loans are subject to lender approval, property review and underwriting, and not all applicants qualify. If Jay is also your agent, he may be paid in both roles. You may use any lender.
