Lakewood Hard Money Loans
Hard Money Loans in Lakewood
Investors in Lakewood sometimes need financing a bank will not offer for a property in rough shape. Miamar Realty and broker Jay Romero help investors look for private money for business-purpose projects across Los Angeles County. Lakewood was built in the early 1950s as one of the country’s best-known planned postwar suburbs.
What Investors Use It For
Private lenders often fund: New construction and large remodels on investment property. Bridge financing between one property and the next. Rental purchases, including small multi-unit buildings. Fix-and-flip: buy a house that needs work, renovate it and resell it. In Lakewood, investor interest often centers on established single-family homes that need cosmetic or system updates.
How Asset-Based Lending Works
With private money, the property secures the loan, and the lender wants a clear plan to repay within a short term, often by a sale or refinance. Rehab funds, if offered, are paid in draws. Investors in Artesia, Bellflower and Hawaiian Gardens can reach us the same way.

Lakewood Hard Money FAQs
Can repair costs be financed?
Some private loans include rehab funds paid out in draws as work is done. It depends on the lender and the project.
What do private lenders usually want to see?
The property, the price, your budget for any work and your plan to repay, such as a sale or refinance. They also review the borrower.
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.
