Fast financing for real estate investment properties in Myrtle Beach.
Investment property loans from Hard Money Lenders of Myrtle Beach provide the capital you need to build a profitable real estate portfolio throughout the Grand Strand area and beyond. In today's competitive market, timing is everything, and traditional bank financing simply takes too long when opportunities arise. Our hard money investment property loans close in as little as 5-7 days, giving you the competitive edge needed to secure income-producing properties before other investors.
We understand the unique dynamics of the Myrtle Beach real estate market, from the seasonal vacation rental demand along the coast to the steady year-round residential neighborhoods in Conway, Longs, and Loris. Whether you're targeting a single-family rental in Socastee, a condo in North Myrtle Beach, or a commercial strip in Murrells Inlet, our investment property loans are structured to match your acquisition strategy. With loan amounts ranging from $100,000 to over $5,000,000, we can finance everything from starter rentals to large-scale commercial investments.
Our approval process focuses on the property's income potential and your exit strategy rather than your personal credit history. This means investors with past credit challenges, self-employed borrowers, and foreign nationals can all qualify for financing. We look at the deal itself, property value, rental income potential, and your experience level, to make quick lending decisions that keep your investments moving forward.
Investment property loans from Hard Money Lenders of Myrtle Beach serve a wide variety of real estate investment strategies throughout South Carolina's coastal region. For buy-and-hold investors, our loans provide the acquisition capital needed to build a portfolio of rental properties that generate passive income month after month. The Grand Strand's strong tourism economy creates consistent demand for both long-term residential rentals and short-term vacation properties, making it an ideal market for income-focused investors.
Many of our clients use our investment property loans to purchase multi-unit buildings in areas like Conway and Little River, where rental demand remains strong throughout the year. Duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings offer economies of scale that single-family rentals cannot match, and our financing can help you acquire these properties even when traditional banks hesitate. We also frequently finance mixed-use properties that combine residential units with commercial storefronts, particularly in revitalizing downtown areas.
For investors focused on the vacation rental market, our loans enable acquisitions of condos and beach houses in Surfside Beach, Garden City, and Pawleys Island. These properties command premium nightly rates during the summer season and can generate significant returns when managed properly. Our lending team understands the seasonal nature of vacation rental income and structures loans with flexible terms that account for fluctuating cash flow patterns.
Commercial investment properties represent another major application for our loans. Retail centers, office buildings, and industrial warehouses throughout Horry County offer opportunities for investors seeking higher yields than residential properties typically provide. Our commercial investment property loans can finance acquisitions of stabilized properties with existing tenant leases, as well as value-add opportunities where improvements can increase rents and property values. We also work with developers who need bridge financing to acquire land for future commercial development projects.
Real estate investors in Myrtle Beach face several common challenges when financing investment properties through traditional channels. The most significant obstacle is timing, conventional bank loans often require 45-60 days to close, which is far too slow in a competitive market where sellers expect quick closings. Many distressed property sellers, estate sales, and foreclosure auctions require cash or hard money financing to complete within 10-14 days, making traditional financing impossible.
Credit requirements present another major hurdle for many investors. Banks typically demand credit scores of 720 or higher for investment property loans, along with extensive documentation of income, tax returns, and debt-to-income ratios. Self-employed investors, real estate professionals with variable income, and those who have experienced past financial difficulties often find themselves unable to qualify regardless of the strength of the deal itself. Foreign investors face even greater obstacles, as most traditional lenders won't work with non-U.S. citizens or residents.
Property condition issues frequently derail conventional financing. Banks require properties to meet strict habitability standards, which means distressed properties needing significant repairs cannot qualify for traditional loans. This creates a catch-22 situation where investors cannot buy the property to fix it because they cannot get financing until it's fixed. Our hard money loans solve this problem by lending based on the property's after-repair value rather than its current condition.
At Hard Money Lenders of Myrtle Beach, our approach to investment property financing prioritizes speed, flexibility, and relationship-building over rigid bureaucratic procedures. When you submit a loan application, our underwriting team immediately begins analyzing the property value, rental income potential, and your proposed exit strategy. We make lending decisions based on the merits of the deal rather than checkbox requirements, which allows us to approve loans that banks would reject.
Our loan officers have deep knowledge of the Myrtle Beach real estate market and can provide valuable insights about neighborhoods, rental rates, and property values. We maintain relationships with local appraisers, title companies, and real estate agents who help us move loans through the system quickly. Unlike national hard money lenders who treat every market the same, we understand the nuances of investing in coastal South Carolina and can structure loans that account for seasonal rental patterns and hurricane insurance requirements.
Transparency is central to our lending philosophy. We provide clear, upfront information about interest rates, fees, and loan terms so you can make informed decisions about your investments. There are no hidden charges or surprise costs at closing. Our goal is to build long-term relationships with successful investors who return to us deal after deal, so we structure loans that set you up for success rather than extracting maximum short-term profit.
Hard Money Lenders of Myrtle Beach provides investment property loans throughout the Grand Strand area including Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Conway, Little River, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Loris, Longs, Socastee, and surrounding communities in Horry County, South Carolina.
We can approve investment property loans for borrowers with credit scores as low as 600, and in some cases even lower depending on the strength of the deal. Unlike traditional banks that rely heavily on credit scores, we focus primarily on the property's value, income potential, and your exit strategy. However, borrowers with higher credit scores may qualify for better interest rates and terms.
Most of our investment property loans close within 5-10 business days from the time we receive a complete application. If you need to close faster, we can often accommodate rush requests when all documentation is provided promptly. The key to a fast closing is having your property information, purchase contract, and financial documentation organized and ready to submit.
We finance virtually all types of income-producing properties including single-family rentals, multi-family buildings (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and apartment complexes), vacation rentals and short-term rental properties, commercial retail and office buildings, industrial warehouses, mixed-use properties, and land intended for future development. We do not finance owner-occupied primary residences.
Our investment property loans typically require a down payment of 25-40% of the purchase price, depending on the property type, location, and your experience level. First-time investors may need to put down 30-40%, while experienced investors with a track record of successful deals may qualify with 20-25% down. We calculate the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio based on the purchase price or appraised value, whichever is lower.
Our investment property loans are typically structured as short-term financing (6-24 months) designed to help you acquire the property quickly. Most investors refinance into long-term conventional financing once the property is stabilized and rented, or they sell the property for a profit. We can refer you to our network of long-term lenders who offer 30-year fixed-rate loans for rental properties if you plan to hold long-term.
