Why Investors Use Hard Money for San Diego ADU Projects

With California’s legislative push to increase housing density, ADUs (often called “granny flats”) have become one of the most profitable ways to maximize property value.

• Speed to Market: Traditional bank loans for construction can take months to clear. Hard money provides the immediate capital needed to start the foundation and framing.
• Flexible Terms: We work with your project’s timeline, providing draw schedules that match your construction phases.
• Property Potential: We lend based on the After Repair Value (ARV), which is crucial for ADU projects where the value of the property increases significantly upon completion.
