Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get a hard money loan in Houston?
At The Republic Lending Company, we understand that speed is the lifeblood of a real estate deal. We can fund most investment projects in the Greater Houston area in as little as 5 days. Because we are "Built by Real Investors," our underwriting process is streamlined to bypass the red tape of traditional banks. We also provide same-day Proof of Funds (POF) letters so you can submit winning offers on the MLS or at auction immediately.
Do you offer fix-and-flip loans for Houston investors with foundation or permit issues?
Yes. Unlike traditional lenders, we specialize in the "grit" of the Houston market. Whether you're dealing with common East End foundation issues or complex permitting in the Heights, we lend based on the After Repair Value (ARV). Our fix-and-flip programs cover up to 90% of the purchase price and 100% of the renovation costs, ensuring you keep your capital liquid for your next project.
Can I use a bridge loan for a BRRRR strategy in the Greater Houston area?
Absolutely. The Republic Lending Company is a premier partner for BRRRR investors (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat). We provide the initial short-term bridge debt to acquire and stabilize the asset. Once the property is leased, we can help you transition into long-term DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans or work with your take-out lender to ensure a seamless "refinance" step, allowing you to pull your equity out and scale your portfolio.
What are the requirements for residential construction loans in Harris County?
For builders and developers in Harris, Montgomery, and Fort Bend counties, we offer competitive ground-up construction financing. We typically look for a detailed line-item budget and a clear exit strategy (sale or refi). As an investor-led company, we offer flexible draw schedules that align with your build timeline, helping you avoid the costly delays common with institutional construction lenders.
Why choose a "Built by Investors" lender over a traditional bank?
Most banks are "check-box" lenders; if a deal doesn't fit a rigid mold, they say no. The Republic Lending Company was built by active real estate investors who have been in your shoes. We don’t just look at credit scores; we look at the profitability of the deal. We provide the transparency, local Houston market expertise, and aggressive leverage that experienced multifamily operators and flippers need to dominate in a competitive market.
