When you’re moving fast in a competitive real estate market, having your financing lined up can give you the edge. That’s why many savvy investors pursue pre-approval for hard money loans before even making an offer.
At QuickLend Capital, we offer fast, no-nonsense pre-approvals that help real estate investors in Texas, Georgia, Florida, New York, and the Carolinas move with confidence.
What is a Hard Money Pre-Approval?
A hard money pre-approval is a lender’s preliminary review of your deal scenario, credit profile, and general borrower background to determine if you qualify for funding—and how much.
It gives you:
-
Proof of funding readiness
-
Negotiating leverage with sellers and agents
-
A head start on closing once a deal is in contract
Unlike traditional mortgage pre-approvals, hard money pre-approvals focus on:
-
The property value or ARV
-
The borrower’s experience and credit
-
The deal structure and exit plan
What You Need for Pre-Approval
Getting pre-approved with QuickLend Capital is simple and fast. Most borrowers submit:
-
Entity/LLC info (if applicable)
-
Credit check authorization (we prefer 660+ FICO)
-
Recent deal history or portfolio summary (optional but helpful)
-
A sample deal scenario: target purchase price, rehab budget, ARV, and location
How Long Does It Take?
With the right information, we can issue a pre-approval within 24 hours—sometimes same-day.
Does Pre-Approval Guarantee Funding?
No—but it significantly increases speed and certainty once a deal is under contract. Final approval is subject to:
-
A completed application
-
Appraisal and title
-
Final review of borrower docs and rehab budget (if applicable)
