Hard Money Loans for Rental Properties in Miami, Florida

Short-term financing for eligible rentals before repairs, lease-up, seasoning, sale or DSCR takeout.

Direct answer

How this hard money option works

Hard money can provide short-term financing for an eligible non-owner-occupied rental when it is vacant, under renovation, newly acquired, under-rented or not ready for long-term DSCR or bank debt. The exit should show how it becomes financeable or is sold.

Hard money may finance the transition; DSCR generally fits a ready-to-rent or stabilized property and is separately underwritten.

For short-term rentals, legal use, local rules, insurance and realistic revenue evidence matter.

One-to-four-unit rental, five-plus-unit multifamily and mixed-use property can follow different lender programs.
