Hard Money Loans in Miami, FL

Miami-Dade is one of the most competitive acquisition markets in the country. Listings in Wynwood, Little Havana, and Allapattah routinely draw multiple offers, and sellers consistently favor buyers who can close in under two weeks without a financing contingency. A hard money pre-approval lets you write offers that compete with cash - and win at a lower price than slower, contingent buyers.

The math works across strategies. Flippers target the 30-40% spread between distressed inventory in Liberty City, Opa-locka, and Hialeah and renovated comps nearby. Buy-and-hold investors use bridge-to-DSCR: acquire and stabilize with short-term capital, then refinance into a 30-year DSCR loan once rents are documented. Miami rents support DSCR ratios above 1.2 in most workforce-housing submarkets, even with Florida's higher insurance load.

Example scenario: a duplex in Little Havana under contract at $510,000 with $70,000 of rehab. A fix & flip loan covers 90% of the purchase plus 100% of the rehab budget - roughly $51,000 down plus closing costs. After renovation, the property appraises at $725,000 and rents at $5,400/month combined, refinancing into a DSCR loan at 75% LTV that returns most of the invested capital for the next deal.
