Real estate financing for builders and investors

Clarify the project before selecting a path.

Capital for builders who are just getting started — and investors ready to scale. We fund fix & flip, ground-up construction, cash-out refinance, and investment purchase programs.

Decision Map

From project need to a clear next step.

  1. Need

    Project type, property context, objective, and timing.

  2. Fit

    Relevant program and qualification inputs.

  3. Structure

    Scope, costs, borrower profile, and required information.

  4. Underwriting

    Underwriting review and conditions.

  5. Next step

    Clarify open items and continue through the actual inquiry.

One team, start to finish. We assess fit, structure the project file, move it through underwriting and manage conditions straight through to closing.

Approval and final terms are confirmed in writing.

Start with what the property needs to do.

These published program profiles help frame fit. Availability, underwriting, approval, and current terms still apply.

Fix & Flip

80% loan-to-cost (LTC) · 660+ FICO

Rehab financing for value-add acquisitions, covering the purchase and renovation so a qualified borrower can move quickly on the deal.

Ground-Up Construction

80% loan-to-cost (LTC) · 65% loan-to-after-repair-value (LTARV)

Built for first-time and experienced builders, with financing across land, hard costs, and soft costs from breaking ground to certificate of occupancy (CO).

Cash-Out Refinance

75% loan-to-value (LTV) · 660+ FICO

Pull equity out of a stabilized or completed project to pay down debt, reinvest, or free up capital for the next build.

Investment Purchase

80% loan-to-cost (LTC) · 660+ FICO

Acquisition financing for rental and investment properties, including debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR) and bridge options sized to the asset rather than a W-2.

Qualification frames fit. It is not approval.

These figures describe the published first-time-builder profile. Exact terms vary by experience, project scope, asset location, and current program requirements.

660+
Minimum FICO in the published first-time-builder profile; 700+ unlocks top-tier leverage.
80%
Maximum loan-to-cost for borrowers at 700+ FICO; the published maximum is 75% for 660–699.
65%
Maximum loan-to-after-repair-value on published rehab and construction deals.
1st
First-time builders are welcome; no prior completed project required.

The published scope is residential & mixed-use investment property. Published profiles remain conditional on current underwriting and do not establish availability or approval.

What the request needs to make clear.

The Decision Map is the sequence; we organize these supporting inputs before and during underwriting.

Property and objective
Identify the property, project type, intended use, and financing objective.
Scope and costs
Set out the purchase, land, hard-cost, soft-cost, rehab, and draw context that applies.
Borrower profile
Share experience and credit context without treating either as an approval decision.
Documents
Organize the property, budget, entity, and borrower records underwriting may request.
Timing
State the desired acquisition, construction, refinance, or closing timeline.
Property condition
Clarify current condition, planned work, completion status, and stabilization context.
Underwriting and closing
Track underwriting questions, conditions, term-sheet details, and open items straight through to closing.

Published experience, in context.

HB Capital is a family-run commercial finance company that has published over $100M+ in funded deals since 2015. Historical volume does not promise current availability, approval, terms, timing, or outcomes.

Real capital. Real people.

Published client experience emphasizes direct access to HB Capital’s family-run team: real answers, real terms, no call center. The team coordinates the file from application toward closing.

Published speed context: Pre-qualification in minutes, term sheets without the bank runaround. Published process language says the short pre-qualification form takes about three minutes.

How the process continues.

HB Capital can walk through leverage, rate, and draw-schedule details in plain language, then coordinate open items toward closing after terms are accepted so builders can focus on the build, not the paperwork.

No obligation, no hard credit pull is the published program context. The initial inquiry below does not run a credit pull or determine eligibility.
