Jacksonville Hard Money Loans for Investment Properties

Investors across Duval County trust our direct capital network to execute fast real estate strategies. Whether you are scaling an aggressive rental portfolio or closing on distressed asset equity, our specialized hard money lending infrastructure cuts out traditional bank underwriting guidelines to close deals quickly.

1. Fix & Flip Loans

Maximize leverage on your value-add residential investments. Our fix and flip capitalization options offer up to 90% purchase coverage and 100% repair funding. We utilize streamlined processing to secure approvals and close your deal in just 7 to 8 business days.

2. Spec Construction Loans for Builders

Keep your ground-up residential developments moving forward without bureaucratic project delays. Built specifically for experienced local builders and home developers, our spec construction lending structures provide up to 85% Loan-to-Cost (LTC) with a target closing timeline of 8 to 10 business days.

3. Long-Term DSCR Rental Property Loans

Protect personal borrowing lines and skip income tax verification. Our 30-year DSCR rental loans calculate qualification entirely on asset cash flow and debt service coverage ratios. This structure provides a streamlined path to finance 1–4 unit long-term investments in growing Jacksonville markets like Riverside, San Marco, and the Beaches.

4. Pure Asset-Based Lending

For complex situations, our dedicated 50% LTV asset-based lending program relies explicitly on collateral equity value—making credit ratings and strict bank financial disclosures secondary. This pure equity path ensures capital access on property value alone.

5. Commercial Hard Money Loans

Secure fast private financing for retail plazas, office spaces, warehouses, and industrial assets. This fast-moving capital option requires a 650+ mid credit score and provides up to 70% leverage on both purchase and refinance transactions throughout the Jacksonville metro area.

6. 5+ Unit Multifamily & Mixed-Use Property Loans

Access direct capital for larger income-producing assets. We lend up to 75% on purchases and refinances for commercial residential buildings and mixed-use spaces. Properties must be completely stabilized and rent-ready; no rehab or renovation financing is allowed under this program.

Frequently Asked Questions – Jacksonville Hard Money Loans

Direct private lending for Jacksonville real estate investors across credit-based investor programs including fix & flip, DSCR rental, spec construction, commercial lending, and a separate equity-based asset lending option.

What are hard money loans in Jacksonville?

Hard money loans in Jacksonville are short-term real estate financing solutions used by investors to acquire, renovate, build, or refinance properties. Most programs are structured around credit, experience, and deal strength, while a separate asset-based program exists for equity-driven lending.

How quickly can I close a loan?

Fix & flip loans typically close in 7–8 business days. Spec construction closes in 8–10 business days. DSCR rental loans in 14 days or less.

Do I need a high credit score to qualify?

Yes — most investor loan programs evaluate credit alongside experience and deal strength. DSCR rental loans typically require a 660+ credit profile. Fix & flip and construction loans use credit as part of a broader underwriting review including project experience and reserves. The asset-based program is the only exception and is driven primarily by equity.

We finance 1–4 unit residential investment properties, 5+ unit multifamily, mixed-use buildings, commercial properties, and ground-up construction projects throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida.

Ken, simply put, is the man. I was weary of using hard money on a deal that I thought would be easy to get a conventional loan for, but then 2 different banks backed out on me. But not before they dragged me along for weeks and even months asking for more and more docs, papers, calls, emails, forms, etc. I thought it was finally all sewn up and then the bank pulled out literally the day before the appraisal appointment. At this point I had less than a month to get an entire new purchase loan AND cash-out refinance (to pay for the new down payment), and I called Ken. I have never in any industry in my life seen someone as responsive and proactive as Ken is. Calls, emails, texts, he is there to help. This was a commercial deal so the appraisal part took longer than residential, but Ken's lending side was quicker than anything I've ever seen. I was beyond stressed about this deal but with Ken's help we finally closed. I am so grateful and I cannot recommend him enough.

Ken has always been there every step of the way to get my loan closed. No matter what time of the day I called, he was there. I would definitely recommend him, especially if other lenders have already said no. He’ll get it done!

Ken is a valuable partner in business no nonsense type whom some would call abrasive but I appreciate because he has always been straight forward rates may be a bit higher but he can close. He is my go to lender whenever I need to close a deal.
