Certainty icon

CERTAINTY

A line of credit from Lima One provides you with certainty, knowing you have easily accessible capital with reliable terms and structures, whenever you need it.

Flexibility icon

FLEXIBILITY

Your line of credit can be used to finance multiple product types, including new construction, bridge, build-to-rent, fix-and-flip, and rental properties.

Speed icon

SPEED

Our average time from initial submission to borrower approval is under 10 days.

Simplicity icon

SIMPLICITY

One-time borrowers can underwrite with a simple, non-invasive renewal process to extend credit line duration. This means once you’re approved, we only need to underwrite the property before funding, not the borrower.

Best in Class

  • Delivers exceptional customer service at every single step along the way
  • Retains all customer touch points in house, from initial application to final payoff

The Usual

  • Gives customer experience lip service, but fails to deliver when it matters
  • Outsources the most important aspects of the loan (construction management and servicing), forcing you to deal with multiple vendors out of the lender’s control
  • Has limited loan programs and product options
  • Requires constant re-underwriting and the same documents over and over
  • Takes forever to sign off on a project
  • Painfully slow to release draws
  • Requires you to pay interest on unused funds
