Quick-Close Financing for Time-Sensitive Acquisitions

Distressed property acquisitions operate on accelerated timelines that demand equally fast financing solutions. Foreclosure auctions require certified funds immediately upon winning bid, leaving no time for traditional loan processing. REO properties often have mandatory closing deadlines of 15-30 days from contract execution. Short sales, while sometimes lengthy in approval, can require immediate closing once lender approval is received. Our hard money loans address each of these scenarios with appropriate speed and certainty.

For foreclosure auction purchases, we provide proof of funds letters and pre-approval documentation that allows you to register and bid with confidence. Upon winning a bid, we can wire funds within 24-48 hours to meet auction settlement requirements. Our auction financing experience includes courthouse steps sales, online foreclosure auctions, and trustee sales throughout Palm Beach County. We understand the risks of auction purchases, including limited inspection opportunities and potential title issues, and structure loans accordingly.

REO and short sale transactions benefit from our streamlined closing process that meets bank-mandated timelines without the delays common to conventional financing. We coordinate directly with asset managers, listing agents, and closing attorneys to ensure smooth transaction execution. Our experience with bank requirements for distressed sales, including specific contract terms, closing cost allocations, and deed preparation, prevents last-minute complications that could jeopardize your acquisition.

  • 24-48 hour funding for foreclosure auction purchases
  • Pre-approval documentation for auction registration
  • Streamlined closings meeting REO and short sale timelines

Foreclosure and REO Purchase Financing

Bank-owned properties and foreclosure acquisitions present unique financing challenges that our hard money programs are designed to address. REO properties are typically sold as-is, with no seller disclosures and limited opportunity for traditional inspections. They often have deferred maintenance, vandalism damage, or systems failures that make them ineligible for conventional mortgages. Our asset-based lending evaluates the property potential value rather than its current condition, allowing financing for properties requiring extensive rehabilitation.

We work with investors acquiring REO properties from major banks, regional lenders, government entities like HUD and VA, and smaller institutional sellers. Each seller type has specific requirements for buyer qualifications, contract terms, earnest money deposits, and closing procedures. Our experience with these varied requirements ensures your financing documentation and closing process align with seller expectations, preventing delays or transaction failures.

Foreclosure auction purchases require additional preparation beyond standard financing. We help you research properties before auction, understand lien priorities and potential title defects, and establish maximum bid prices based on conservative valuations. Our auction financing includes consultation on auction procedures, deposit requirements, and redemption period considerations. While auction purchases carry inherent risks, proper preparation and fast funding significantly improve outcomes for prepared investors.

  • Financing for as-is REO properties in any condition
  • Experience with major bank and government seller requirements
  • Auction preparation support and fast post-auction funding

Short Sale and Distressed Seller Funding

Short sales, transactions where the seller's mortgage balance exceeds the property value, require specialized financing approaches that accommodate extended negotiation timelines and sudden closing demands. The short sale approval process can take months as the seller's lender evaluates the proposed sale price and terms. During this period, market conditions may change, and your financing must remain available whenever approval is granted. Our hard money programs provide the patience and flexibility that short sale investing demands.

We structure short sale financing with extended rate lock periods and flexible closing timelines that accommodate unpredictable lender approval schedules. Once short sale approval is received, closings typically must occur within 10-15 days, requiring immediate funding availability. Our pre-approved loan facilities ensure that capital is ready when you need it, without requiring new underwriting or approval processes when the short sale finally clears.

Beyond formal short sales, we finance acquisitions from distressed sellers facing various challenging circumstances including probate properties, divorce situations, tax delinquencies, and imminent foreclosure. These transactions often require sensitivity to seller needs combined with speed and certainty of execution. Our experience with distressed seller acquisitions helps you navigate complex interpersonal dynamics while securing favorable investment opportunities.

  • Extended rate locks for unpredictable short sale timelines
  • Immediate funding availability upon approval receipt
  • Experience with probate, divorce, and distressed seller situations
