What is a California Hard Money Loan?

A California hard money loan is a short-term, real estate–backed financing solution built for investors and property owners who are seeking speed and flexibility. Unlike traditional bank underwriting, these loans are secured by the value of the property itself, rather than credit scores and financials, allowing borrowers to close faster, reposition assets, and capitalize on time-sensitive opportunities across residential, commercial, and industrial real estate in California.

Source Capital was able to make a hard money loan happen where the buyer's credit score was in the 500's. It took 9 days from start to finish! He can get loans done when getting approval seems impossible!!

Sacha is truly one of the best people to work with. He is incredibly responsive, thorough, and always goes the extra mile to make sure everything is handled correctly. He catches the little details and always follows through! On top of that, he’s just genuinely great to work with. If you get the opportunity to work with Sacha, you’re in very good hands. Highly recommend!

Sacha is TOP NOTCH. I could not be happier working with him or anyone on his team. He's fast, absurdly responsive, and detail oriented to a degree that borders on supernatural. If there's a typo buried on page 40, he's already fixed it. Seriously, don't look anywhere else for a loan. Sacha is the man.

Sacha at Source was a lifesaver for me on a hard to aquire loan due to being a Canadian citizen with a property in the US. He worked hard to secure funding for me and was very easy to deal with and quick on answers and help when needed. Highly recommend him.
