I've known Vantex Capital Group for over 10 years, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with Walter Payne during that time. Walter is an absolute powerhouse—fast, reliable, and always delivers on his promises. When he says he’ll get something done, you can count on it. He and his team stand out from the rest of the mortgage brokers in the industry. I highly recommend Walter and his team at Vantex Capital Group!

Easy to work with. No problems with contacting Vantex for questions, refinancing and loan extensions. However, the loan servicer FCI was very problematic and picky, so I had to document check payments via US post office postmark so they would credit properly. This loan was in probate. So the process could have been different than what other experienced.

Mike was so patient and calm to talk to. He explained everything so I could understand. I highly recommend him and his company!

FAQ for Hard Money Loans in Los Angeles

Securing an investment property often comes down to who can close the fastest. Traditional financing bottlenecks frequently cause investors to miss out on prime opportunities because banks take too long to review files.

Our team prioritizes speed by focusing our underwriting on the physical real estate rather than lengthy institutional checklists. For standard residential properties, we typically complete the funding process in roughly one week.

Commercial acquisitions usually require about two weeks to finalize. By partnering with a dedicated Los Angeles Hard Money Lender, you gain the agility needed to submit highly competitive, short-escrow offers with confidence.

Every investment strategy requires a tailored capital solution. We recognize that a rapid fix-and-flip project demands a very different structure than a long-term commercial hold.

Our capital resources allow us to fund requests ranging from $50,000 up to $25 million. Interest rates generally start at 8.99%, fluctuating based on your specific lien position, asset type, and the transaction’s overall risk profile.

Regarding repayment timelines, we offer interest-only structures for up to two years, which are ideal for quick turnarounds or bridge situations. Alternatively, we can provide partially or fully amortized terms lasting up to ten years for projects requiring a longer stabilization period.

 

Traditional banks heavily scrutinize your personal financial history, often making it difficult for self-employed entrepreneurs to secure funding. Private financing flips that model by placing the primary focus on the asset itself.

We do not enforce a minimum FICO score requirement for our approvals. Our underwriting team is much more interested in the property’s equity margin, the viability of your business plan, and your intended exit strategy.

By evaluating the merit of the deal rather than just a credit report, we can extend Los Angeles Hard Money Loans to investors who have complex financial backgrounds, past credit events, or irregular income streams.

 

Building a diverse real estate portfolio requires a financing partner experienced in multiple asset classes. Since 2003, we have evaluated and funded a massive variety of real estate projects across the region.

We are equipped to provide capital for a broad spectrum of property types, including:

  • Single-family residential investments and fix-and-flip properties

  • Multi-family apartment buildings and complexes

  • Commercial, retail, and industrial facilities

  • Land parcels intended for future ground-up development

Whether you are looking to acquire a new rental property or stabilize an underperforming commercial building, our team adapts our lending parameters to suit the unique demands of your specific real estate asset.

 

Protective equity is the foundation of private lending. It secures the capital while ensuring that you, the borrower, have a meaningful financial stake in the project’s success.

For residential investments, our standard parameters allow us to lend up to 65% of the property’s value. Commercial transactions generally cap at a 60% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.

If a deal presents exceptional compensating factors, we will occasionally stretch our LTV maximum up to 75% on a case-by-case basis. You will be responsible for bringing the remaining balance to closing as your down payment.

For investors looking to leverage existing properties, a cash-out refinance using Los Angeles Hard Money Loans relies heavily on that same built-in equity to generate immediate liquidity for your next venture.

Absolutely. Adding an ADU is a fantastic way to force appreciation and increase rental yield. We can provide renovation capital that includes the costs of ADU construction, releasing funds in draws as your contractor completes the necessary phases. Partnering with an experienced Los Angeles hard money lender ensures your project stays funded and on schedule.

Yes, we specialize in rescuing stalled projects. If your previous lender stopped funding or your maturity date hit before completion, Vantex Capital Group can step in, evaluate the remaining work, and provide the capital needed to get the project across the finish line. See our commercial hard money loan page for larger project parameters.

Traditional banks will penalize you for eviction proceedings or poor rent rolls, but as an asset-based lender, we focus on the property’s intrinsic value. We can fund a cash-out refinance even if the property is not currently stabilized, giving you the capital to resolve the tenant issues.

No, you can begin the loan application and underwriting process in your own name while your entity is being formed. As long as the LLC or corporation is legally registered and active before we draft the final loan documents, we can close the transaction under the entity. This flexibility is a hallmark of a premier Los Angeles hard money lender.

Yes. If you have significant equity in the real estate, we can structure the loan so that a portion of the proceeds is disbursed directly through escrow to clear any outstanding tax liens or judgments, ensuring we secure a clear title position.
