COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Most deals fund within 10 business days. Submit your deal and we will come back with indicative terms quickly.

No. We underwrite based on the property and your exit strategy, not your income documents. New investors are welcome.

We lend from $250K to $5M across Fix & Flip, DSCR Rental, Bridge, and Ground Up Construction loans. We'll work with you to structure financing around your deal.

Fix & Flip, DSCR rentals, ground up construction, bridge loans, and cash-out refinances. Not sure if your deal qualifies? Submit it anyway. We'll let you know.

Yes. For fix and flip and construction loans we offer up to 100% rehab reimbursement through structured draws released after verified progress inspections.

Most loans are 12–18 months with interest-only payments. Extensions may be available depending on the deal.

Origination points typically run 1.5–2.5%, plus standard third-party costs (appraisal, title, legal). No junk fees. Every fee appears on the indicative terms, and nothing is discovered at closing.

No. Our initial indicative terms are based on the deal and your stated track record, and no credit pull is required. Once you've approved your terms, we begin formal underwriting, which includes a soft credit pull.

WHO YOU ARE WORKING WITH

Built by operators, not loan processors.

Trato is run by a team with backgrounds in fintech, real estate, and private credit. We underwrite every file in house, so the person who answers your first call is the person who signs off on your terms. No call centers, no handoffs, no committee sitting between you and an answer.

We read the asset, the comps, and your exit before we read anything about your tax filings. If the deal works, you will hear it fast.

What borrowers say

Verified reviews from Google
As a newer investor I was nervous about hard money lenders, but Trato made the process clear and straight forward. They walked me through the purchase + rehab financing and funded 85% of the total project cost. Closed in six days with zero surprises at the closing table.
