Long Beach's Trusted Hard Money Lender for Real Estate Investors

Real estate investors, property flippers, developers, and rental property owners in Long Beach qualify for our hard money loans. We focus on the property's value and potential rather than traditional credit metrics. Whether you're an experienced Long Beach investor or just starting out, we evaluate each deal on its merits—considering the asset, your experience level, exit strategy, and skin in the game.

For a Long Beach hard money loan application, you'll need: property address and details, purchase contract or current ownership docs, scope of work and renovation budget (for fix & flip), estimated After Repair Value (ARV) with comparable sales, proof of funds for down payment and reserves, and a brief overview of your real estate experience. Our team will guide you through the process.

We don't have a strict minimum credit score requirement for our Long Beach hard money loans. We've funded deals for borrowers with credit scores ranging from the high 500s to 800+. We focus primarily on the deal itself—the property's value, your equity position, and your exit strategy in the Long Beach market.

Yes, we work with first-time investors in Long Beach. While experience is valued, we understand everyone starts somewhere. For newer investors, we may require a larger down payment, focus on more conservative ARV projections, or recommend partnering with an experienced Long Beach contractor. Many of our best repeat borrowers started with their first Long Beach deal funded by Unitas.

No, personal income verification is not required for our Long Beach investment property loans. Our DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are qualified based on the property's rental income, not your personal income or tax returns. This makes our process faster and more accessible for self-employed Long Beach investors.

We provide initial pre-approval decisions within 24 hours for most Long Beach deals. Once we receive your complete application and property details, our underwriting team moves quickly. Full approval and clear-to-close typically takes 5-10 business days. Many of our Long Beach borrowers close in 7-10 days from application to funding.

Unitas combines institutional capital strength with local Long Beach market expertise. As a direct lender, we control our own underwriting and funding—meaning faster decisions and more reliability than brokers.

Hard money lenders like Unitas focus on the Long Beach property's value and potential, not your personal financial history. We can close in days rather than months, don't require extensive income documentation, and will fund properties that need significant renovation—deals most Long Beach banks won't touch. Our approval is based on asset value, equity, and exit strategy.
