Hard money lender for mortgage brokers

A direct answer. Your client stays yours.

Send the deal directly to the people who underwrite and fund it. We’re a direct hard money lender, lending our own capital against California real estate, and you stay in the relationship from the first conversation through closing. Typical loans run $1 million to $5 million on 18- to 24-month terms, with an average close of about 10 days.

Who you are sending it to.

One lender, its own capital, in the markets it knows.

When to think of Alliance Portfolio

Some deals need a different path.

If the property and transaction make sense, a conventional lending problem does not always have to end the deal.

The bank timeline does not work

Your client has a real deadline and the conventional process is moving too slowly.

Your borrower’s cash is tied up

They may have meaningful assets or equity, but the liquidity they need is sitting somewhere else.

Between two transactions

A sale, acquisition, stabilization or refinance does not always happen in the ideal order.

The borrower is an entity

LLCs, corporations and business-purpose transactions do not always fit a conventional borrower profile.

What you can bring.

Positions and structures Alliance Portfolio will look at. If the file sits outside this list, send it anyway. The answer comes from the property and the exit, not from a category.

Submit a broker scenario

First-position financing

Purchase, refinance or cash-out.

Second-position financing

Behind existing debt, where the equity supports it.

Bridge financing

Held or acquired against a pending sale or refinance.

Cash-out on a held asset

Equity released without a sale.

Construction and renovation

Drawn against a scope and a timeline.

Non-conforming income or entity

Trust, LLC or corporate borrowers.

Cross-collateralized structures

More than one California property.

Short-fuse purchase

An escrow or exchange deadline already running.

The process

What happens after you send it.

The same sequence on every file, so you know what to tell your client before you pick up the phone.

01

You send it

The scenario goes to Alliance Portfolio directly: the property, the amount, the position, the timing and what the loan has to accomplish.

02

A person reads it

An Alliance Portfolio underwriter reviews the file. Not a portal, not a scoring model.

03

You get an answer

We come back on what we can do. Where we can structure the transaction, terms follow.

04

We fund and service

We fund on our own capital and service the loan in-house through repayment.

Your client stays yours.

We work with you, not around you. Your relationship remains your relationship, and the structure should recognize the value you bring to the transaction.

You stay on the file.
Alliance Portfolio works the transaction with you, not around you, from the first read through funding.
Communication runs through you.
Your client hears from Alliance Portfolio through you unless you ask for something different.
We do not solicit your client.

The intent is not one transaction.

Alliance Portfolio wants to be the lender you bring the next difficult scenario to.
