Why California Investors Choose Accolend

Loan process steps

Fast, Reliable, and Local Financing in California

Arrow

In California’s competitive real estate market, speed and certainty are everything. As a direct hard money lender in California, Accolend eliminates the delays, document requests, and rigid rules that cost investors deals. With instant pre-approvals and same-day term sheets, we fund when banks can’t, closing in as few as 7 business days.

California’s market rewards investors who move fast. Median home prices statewide exceed $800,000, with coastal markets like Los Angeles and San Diego pushing significantly higher, creating substantial upside for investors who can execute quickly. Homes in the most competitive California markets are selling within 30 days, and gross flipping profits are averaging close to $100,000 per transaction, though tightening margins make cost-efficient financing more important than ever. That’s where our no-points loan programs make a real difference, saving you thousands in upfront costs and freeing up more capital for your project.

Whether you’re flipping a single-family home in the San Fernando Valley, acquiring a multifamily property in San Diego, or refinancing a rental portfolio in Sacramento, Accolend delivers reliable funding tailored to your project.

Accolend’s Direct Lending Process

  • No-points loan programs: Our no-points options have saved borrowers millions in upfront fees, freeing up more capital to put directly into your project.
  • In-house underwriting: Our investor-minded underwriting team evaluates the true value of your deal, not just a rigid checklist, and communicates clearly at every stage so you always know where you stand.

Hard Money Loans in California

A hard money loan is generally a short-term loan. It’s an asset-based loan secured by real estate. The real estate property acts as collateral for such loans. Unlike traditional mortgages, which focus on your credit score and income, we focus on the property’s value. Thus, we can offer fast underwriting to close within 7-15 business days. Our process helps you seize opportunities for a quick flip or to stabilize a rental property.

We understand the dynamics of California’s diverse markets. From the high demand for rental units in the Bay Area, to increasing fix-and-flip opportunities in burgeoning Inland Empire neighborhoods, our programs are designed for California real estate investors & brokers.

Simple, Straightforward Requirements

We’ve simplified the qualification process to focus on what matters: the asset. Our asset-based underwriting means we don’t require income verification or tax returns. If the deal makes sense, we’ll fund it. We close in days, not weeks, because our process is built for efficiency. Qualifications are asset-focused and deal-driven. Standard criteria include:

  • Minimum FICO Score: 620 for most loan programs, 650 for ground-up construction.
  • Investment History: No prior experience required for Fix and Flip or DSCR loans. Ground-up construction loans require at least one completed new construction project.

  • Loan Amounts: We lend between $115,000 and $5,000,000 depending on the loan program and market.
  • Property Requirements: Property must be a non-owner-occupied investment property located in an eligible market. Rural properties are not eligible.”
