What You Need To Know

What types of properties do we fund?

The Norris Group specializes in non-owner occupied residential, single-family properties from 1-4 units. Our programs range from a standard fix and flip to buy to hold as rentals to new construction. However, if you have small apartment buildings, please give us a call, we may be able to assist you. These are business purpose loans.

We DO NOT offer funding for mobile homes, commercial, or cannabis projects.

How can you get pre-qualified?

It’s really simple. All you have to do is click on the Apply Today button. Fill out the required information completely including approximate credit score and funds available. Available funds may include cash on-hand, credit lines, maturing CDs, and stock accounts with borrowing power. Not included would be small balance credit cards, IRAs, retirement accounts, and other people’s money unless they plan on being a co-borrower.

Once you submit an application, you’ll be given instruction via email and on the site for next steps. Upon approval, you will be given a “Letter of Credit.” This letter in most cases will be treated the same as cash.

What are our terms?

Starting at 9.9% we have different loan programs to help investors in a multitude of projects ranging from your standard flips and rehabs to new construction loans. We lend in both California and Florida.

Costs and fees will vary depending on the program. Entities (Corporations, partnerships, LLCs, etc.) are accepted as are self-directed IRA accounts.

Explore the programs to find which best fits your criteria and investor model and the terms for each. We will consider small residential commercial projects on a case-by-case basis. You can always reach out to Craig Hill at (951)780-5856 x102

How long does it take to close the loan?

We can close in as little as 5 business days assuming we have all documentation signed correctly and returned in a timely manner. Lead times may vary by loan program (longer-term and construction loans typically take longer).

Quick closings are possible only with your help! We need all the documentation, escrow instructions, proof of correct insurance, clean preliminary title report, and all docs signed correctly and timely for us to close quickly for you. Speed for your transaction is very dependent on your response time!

Each transaction is handled on a case by case scenario. If there is a special requirement, we may be able to accommodate you but tell us up front what you need on a timeframe.
