Frequently asked questions

What is a hard money loan?

Short-term private financing secured by the property, used for time-sensitive purchases, bridge needs, cash-out and distressed situations. Terms are measured in months, not decades.

How fast can a hard money loan close?

As little as 3 to 5 days from receipt of documents on clean files. Speed depends on title, payoff and property condition.

Do I need good credit?

Credit requirements vary by private lender and program. Many weigh the property and the deal heavily, but there is no single score cutoff.

Can hard money help stop a foreclosure?

Yes. A foreclosure bailout refinances the delinquent debt before the sale date where the equity and the deal support it. Timing matters most - start as early as possible.

What property types qualify?

Residential-investment (1-4 unit, multifamily) and commercial (retail, office, light industrial, mixed-use, gas stations, car washes, low-leverage hospitality and more). We generally do not finance ground-up construction, land, development or heavy rehab.

Which states is this available in?

Hard money financing is available in 38 states. It is not available in AK, AZ, CA, HI, ID, MN, ND, NV, OR, SD, UT or VT, and not in rural areas.

Where this capital works

Tesni Capital works with private lenders offering hard money loans, bridge loans, debtor-in-possession financing, and HOA and condo association loans in markets nationwide. Hard money lenders are typically private investors or companies that specialize in this type of lending - we package the file and put it in front of lenders who compete for it, and the lender makes the final credit decision.

Coverage focuses on non-owner-occupied commercial and investment properties, generally in cities with a population of 50,000+ or within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
