General

We only do hard pulls for rental loans after you've accepted an offer and once the loan is in underwriting. We utilize soft pulls for short-term mortgages.

We require title insurance on our loans, which a lot of local auction properties will not have. Some online auctions go through a closing agent that provides title insurance, but the borrower should check with the seller or platform.

We do not. We'll lend up to 90% loan to cost depending on experience.

The first step is to connect with our team to align you with the right product. From there, an AE Capital Partners advisor will help you create your account and submit your deal through the portal.

This depends on the type of loan product. The following timelines start when the file is ready for underwriting (all info and documents uploaded), not necessarily when the loan is submitted or under contract.

  • Rehab / bridge loans — 10 business days for a new client, 5–7 business days for repeat clients.
  • Rental loans — 4 weeks for single properties, 5–8 weeks for most portfolios.
  • Construction — 3+ weeks, depending on complexity.
  • 5+ unit multifamily — 4–6 weeks, depending on complexity and appraisal timelines.

We only require one guarantor and signer with at least 25% ownership of the entity.

The most common reasons are:

  • The property is not in a state that we finance, or is in a location that an appraiser would consider rural.
  • Property value (or purchase price).
  • Credit score.
  • Liquidity.
  • Newer investors taking on extensive rehab projects.

12-month value-add loans, 24-month bridge loans, 12-month construction loans, and 30-year DSCR rental loans (both amortizing fixed and interest-only adjustable rates). We also offer short-term rental and bank statement loan programs.
