Investor loan questions, answered straight
Hard money, bridge and DSCR financing raise the same questions on every deal: entity borrowing, coverage ratios, draws, exits and documents. Here are the answers we give investors before they apply, with no pricing figures and no approval promises.
What is Hard Money Loan App?
Hard Money Loan App is a Loan Daddy LLC brand, NMLS 2827624. Loan Daddy LLC is a mortgage broker, not a lender. We arrange and shop business-purpose hard money, bridge and DSCR financing from wholesale lenders for non-owner-occupied investment property.
Is Hard Money Loan App a lender?
No. Broker, not lender. We arrange and shop financing from wholesale lenders, compare how each reads your deal, and help you through the file. The wholesale lender makes the credit decision and provides the funds.
What properties qualify on this site?
Non-owner-occupied investment property only: rentals, flips, bridge scenarios, BRRRR projects and ground-up rental construction held for business purposes. If you plan to live in the property, we cannot help with that purchase on this site.
How does hard money underwriting differ from a bank loan?
The property and the plan lead: purchase price, renovation budget, finished value or rent, reserves and the exit. Personal financial strength supports the file, but the deal itself carries unusual weight in the decision.
Can I get a DSCR loan in an LLC?
Often, yes. Many wholesale lenders allow or prefer entity borrowing for investment property. Entity formation documents, the operating agreement and member details become part of the file, and we check the match early.
What DSCR do I need?
There is no single number used by every lender. DSCR is rent divided by the full carrying cost of principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA dues. Stronger documented coverage reads better; run your real figures in a separate rental coverage worksheet.
Can I use short-term rental income?
Sometimes, where nightly rental is lawful under city and HOA rules and the income is documented. Lawful use and records matter as much as the headline income, and programs differ in how they read booking history.
How do rehab draws work?
Renovation funds are commonly released in stages after completed work is verified by inspection. Plan cash for contractor deposits, early materials and carrying payments so the draw rhythm never stalls the project.
What is a bridge loan used for?
Spanning a defined gap: buying before a sale closes, finishing a renovation, or leasing a property until it qualifies for long-term financing. The exit on the far side should be dated and evidenced before the bridge closes.
Can I refinance from hard money into a DSCR loan?
Yes, that is the standard BRRRR and fix-and-hold exit. Once the property is finished and leased, the rent must cover the long-term carrying cost. We test that math before you buy, not just before you refinance.
What documents should I prepare?
The purchase contract, entity records, identification, a line-item rehab budget, contractor details, insurance quotes and proof of reserves, plus your exit evidence — comparable sales for a sale or rent coverage math for a hold.
Do you publish rates or pricing?
No. This site publishes no pricing figures and makes no approval promises, because both depend on the actual property, borrower and lender program. Send the scenario and we will shop wholesale lenders and show you real options.
Which markets do you cover?
We review business-purpose scenarios from investors in many states, subject to licensing and lender availability for the property state, and publish detailed guides for Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Tampa, Columbus, Nashville and Denver. Property eligibility and lender appetite vary by market, so send the address and we will check the fit.
How do I start?
Use the application page. Tell us the property, the plan, the numbers and the exit. A Loan Daddy loan specialist will follow up. Loan Daddy LLC is a mortgage broker, not a lender.
