Walnut Hard Money Loans


Hard Money Loans in Walnut

Private money, often called hard money, is short-term financing secured by real estate. If you invest in Walnut or close by, Jay Romero of Miamar Realty can help you explore whether it fits your next purchase or project. The city has hillside neighborhoods, with the SR-60 and SR-57 freeways nearby.

What Investors Use It For

Investors commonly use private money for: Flips: buy a dated property, improve it and sell it. Construction or heavy renovation on investment property. Rentals bought to improve, lease and later refinance. Bridge loans to buy before another property sells. Hillside lots in Walnut can raise slope, access and fire-zone questions that a private lender may ask about before funding a project.

How Hard Money Works

Hard money is asset-based. A private lender looks mainly at the property, its value after any planned work and your plan to repay, usually by selling or refinancing. Lenders still review the borrower, and terms are usually short. We also serve investors in West Covina, Covina and San Dimas.

Common Questions

Does it cost more than a bank loan?
Usually yes. Private loans tend to have higher rates, points and fees than bank financing. Exact terms come only from the lender.

Is hard money for buying my own home?
No. This page covers business-purpose loans for non-owner-occupied property only. For a home you will live in, ask about home loans.

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.
