New Silver offers short-term bridge financing through our fix and flip loan program. These loans have terms of up to 18 months and are ideal for real estate investors who need immediate funding to purchase and improve properties before resale.

Interest rates on hard money loans are higher than traditional mortgages because of the increased risk and speed involved. These loans are used for investment properties that need renovation, quick closing timelines, or flexible qualification—situations traditional lenders usually avoid.

Hard money loans are asset-based, meaning the property’s value drives the approval and serves as collateral for the loan. Since they’re short-term and fund riskier projects, the higher interest compensates for that risk. In return, investors gain access to fast, flexible capital that can help them act on time-sensitive opportunities and scale their portfolio faster.

Origination fees for New Silver loans typically range between 1.25 - 1.75%. Monthly payments on short-term loans are interest-only, reducing cash flow strain during renovations. For an accurate estimate, we recommend using our Hard Money Loan Calculator to preview fees and monthly costs.

Credit scores are part of our evaluation process, but they’re not the primary factor. Unlike traditional lenders, New Silver focuses on the asset and overall deal strength. A lower credit score may still qualify if the investment opportunity is strong.
