Overview

What Is Equity-Based Lending?

Equity-based lending uses the equity in an existing California investment property as the primary basis for loan approval. Unlike conventional lending, which requires income documentation, credit thresholds, and property condition standards, equity-based private capital loans are structured primarily on what the property is worth and how much equity the borrower holds.

Common structures include first and second trust deeds on non-owner-occupied investment properties. The loan proceeds can be used to satisfy maturing obligations, access working capital, fund additional acquisitions, or bridge a gap until permanent financing is available.

Who This Is For

  • Have significant equity in an investment property but cannot qualify conventionally
  • Need to satisfy a maturing second trust deed or balloon payment
  • Have self-employed or complex income that is difficult to document
  • Have experienced a credit event, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
  • Need capital quickly and cannot wait for a conventional process
  • Are facing a Notice of Default and need options to prevent further action

Process

How Equity-Based Lending Works

01

Identify the Property and Equity Position

Share the property address, estimated value, and existing liens. Troy Mire evaluates the equity position and the supportable loan amount.

02

Structure the Loan Around the Asset

Loan terms are structured based on the property value, equity, and the borrower's situation — not income or credit score alone.

03

Fund and Execute the Exit Plan

Once funded, the borrower addresses the immediate need and executes the agreed exit strategy before loan maturity.
