What is a hard money loan in Pensacola, Florida?
A Pensacola hard money loan is a fast, asset-based loan funded on the deal — purchase, rehab, and after-repair value (ARV) — not your tax returns. Gulf beach demand and a large Navy presence support both coastal rehabs and steady rental flips, and we fund the finished value while planning for coastal insurance on the barrier island. We lend up to 95% LTC, 90% of purchase, and 100% of rehab, with interest-only or 30-40 year amortization options so you can hold or flip.
