Hard Money Lender for New Construction Loans

February 21, 2019

In the fast-paced world of real estate development, time is money. For venture capitalists and seasoned investors looking to capitalize on lucrative construction opportunities, new construction hard money loans offer a powerful financial tool.

At CS Financial Group, we provide rapid, flexible funding solutions that empower you to seize market opportunities and maximize your returns.

Understanding New Construction Hard Money Loans

New construction loans are asset-based financing options designed for real estate investors and developers who need quick access to capital for building projects.

Unlike traditional construction loans, which can take months to approve, hard money loans focus on the project's potential value and can be funded within days or weeks.

Key features:

  • Speed: Rapid approval and funding processes.
  • Flexibility: Customizable terms to suit your project needs.
  • Asset-based: Loans are secured by the property itself.

Eligible Projects for Hard Money Construction Loans

  • Single-family homes.
  • Multi-unit dwellings.
  • Commercial buildings.
  • Mixed-use developments.
  • Land acquisition and development.

Who is Eligible for New Construction Project Loans?

We work with:

  • Experienced real estate investors and developers.
  • Borrowers with solid financial profiles.
  • Those needing quick access to capital.
  • Clients with projects that might not qualify for traditional.
