The usual shape of the loan.
What a Bay Area loan from Alliance Portfolio usually looks like.
What Bay Area borrowers usually bring us.
Low leverage, large balances
In Portola Valley we funded a $5.6 million first trust deed on an estate residence at 29% loan-to-value. It paid off in 8 months.
A purchase with real equity
A broker’s client bought a luxury condominium in San Francisco. We provided a $4 million first trust deed, and the buyer put significant equity of their own into the purchase.
The property and the exit decide
We look at the value, the equity under the loan, the lien position and how the loan gets repaid. Credit and income still matter, but they are not the whole decision.

Bay Area hard money loans, the basics.
- How much can I borrow?
- Most loans run $1 million to $5 million. The amount depends on the property’s value, the equity under the loan and the lien position.
- How long are the terms?
- Usually 18 to 24 months, set around how the loan will be repaid: a sale, a refinance or finished work.
- How fast can it close?
- The average loan closes in about 10 days. Some move faster and some take longer, depending on the file.
- What do you lend on?
- Residential, multifamily, commercial and land held for business or investment purposes, in first or second position. We don’t make consumer loans on a home the owner lives in.
- Who will I deal with?
- Alliance Portfolio originates, underwrites, funds and services its own loans, so the answer comes from the people responsible for it.
