Direct Asset-Based Lender for Investment Real Estate
Carlyle Capital is a direct private money lender performing asset-based lending on a large variety of properties. We assist borrowers who don’t want to deal with the strict underwriting guidelines of traditional lenders, don’t have the time to await bank approval, or have a project that would traditionally be deemed as unable to finance.
Since we are a direct lender, we have our own underwriting guidelines and standards which translate into a quick, fast and efficient process to approve your loan and get it funded! In loan transactions, we focus on the value of the asset, the use of loan proceeds, and the plan to repay. We work efficiently to provide you the capital when you need it.
