Test LTC, LTV, loan-to-ARV, interest and project margin
Change the deal assumptions to identify leverage and cash questions. Results are educational—not a quote, approval or profit forecast.
Educational scenario only. It assumes interest on the full loan for the full entered term and does not model draw timing. It excludes many possible costs, including sale commissions, transfer taxes, extension or exit fees, appraisal, legal, title, insurance, taxes, utilities, permits, overruns and default charges. ARV is unverified. This is not a quote, appraisal, approval, commitment or profit forecast.
Three leverage views
Why purchase price, cost and ARV can produce different loan limits
A lender may constrain proceeds by purchase-price percentage, total-cost leverage, as-is LTV or loan-to-ARV. The lowest applicable test may control, and an approved rehab budget can be held back for future draws.
Loan-to-costLoan amount ÷ (purchase price + rehab budget)
The investor still needs funds for equity, closing costs, prepaid interest or reserves, initial work and costs not included in the approved budget.

ATTOM reported that 297,045 U.S. homes were flipped in 2025, representing 7.4% of sales; the median gross flip profit was $65,981 before rehab, holding and transaction costs. The same report said 37.7% of flips were acquired with financing and the average Q4 project took 160 days from purchase to resale.
The FHFA/FRED Miami-area house price index was 670.80 in Q1 2026 (1995 Q1 = 100). It is a broad trend index—not an appraisal or a neighborhood price. Property-level decisions still require current comparables, permits, flood, insurance and condition review.

Clear answers
Miami Hard Money Loan Questions
What is a hard money loan?
A hard money loan is short-term, business-purpose financing secured primarily by eligible real estate. Lenders also review borrower equity, credit, liquidity, experience, property condition and a documented repayment plan.
Is hard money the same as private money?
The terms often overlap in everyday use. Some people use private money for loans from individuals or private funds and hard money for professional asset-based lenders. The exact lender and loan documents matter more than the label.
Why do Miami investors use hard money?
Common reasons include a short closing deadline, distressed or vacant condition, planned renovation, auction purchase, maturity, temporary credit issue or a property that is not ready for bank or DSCR financing.
How quickly can a hard money loan close?
Some lenders can move faster than banks when the file is complete. No closing date is guaranteed because title, valuation, insurance, lender approval and property issues still control.
What does a hard money lender evaluate?
Typical factors include purchase or payoff, as-is value, rehab budget, ARV, requested loan, borrower equity, liquidity, credit, experience, property condition and sale or refinance exit.
Can a first-time investor qualify?
Potentially. Some lenders accept first-time investors but may require more equity, reserves, stronger credit, experienced contractors or a more conservative transaction.
Are the rates and terms shown guaranteed?
No. Any examples are illustrative ranges that may be available only for qualifying transactions and can change. The participating lender sets all final terms after underwriting.
Is Capwell Capital a direct lender?
No. Capwell Capital is a commercial financing broker and advisory firm that organizes requests and compares participating-lender programs.
