Practical Underwriting

The Problem icon

The Problem

Banks are known for their strict underwriting, and that’s understandable. But sometimes their qualification guidelines can limit the freedom you have to pursue profitable deals and grow your business. That’s where private lenders like Lima One come in.

The Solution icon

The Solution

Real estate investing often requires an outside-the-box mentality. That is why we take a common sense approach to underwriting. Each project is considered based on the merits of your investment strategy, and we base our borrower approvals on credit, liquidity, and experience. That means we have the flexibility to customize loans that are built for profitable investments.

Have Confidence in Your Capital and the Means To Scale

We understand that you have aspirations and goals to grow your business by tackling multiple deals at a time. Our borrower underwriting gives you visibility into your borrowing capacity, enabling you to plan ahead and build the runway you need you to move quickly when opportunity knocks.
