Stonecrest Line of Credit Private Loan Program

Stonecrest is one of the few private lending companies in California offering a private money line of credit. Our line of credit loans can be secured by a 1st or 2nd trust deed up to 65% LTV. The property can be owner-occupied if the funds will be used for the homeowner’s business. We can even cross-collateralize with multiple property types. A line of credit is a flexible loan, made to an individual or business, secured by real estate. Since you only pay interest on principal drawn when needed, your effective interest rate for our loan is substantially lower than a typical private hard money loan. Instead, you would have access to a predetermined amount of funds that you can use when and how you wish. You’d access the funds as you need them, repay immediately or over a specified period of time, and only pay interest on what you use.
