The market
What actually trades in North Carolina.
A growth market where the finished comparables move while you are still working, which cuts both ways. It forgives a rehab that runs two months long, and it punishes an ARV pulled from sales that closed a year ago. The Triangle and Charlotte carry genuine new construction demand; the Triad is a rehab market and prices like one.
Most active markets: Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville. That list is where the deals have come from rather than a service area, and a property anywhere else in North Carolina is underwritten on the same terms.
The State Bar requires a licensed attorney to be present at and supervise a residential closing, so settlement is scheduled around attorney availability rather than a title office's calendar. On a fast timeline that is the thing to book first, not last.

Questions
About lending in North Carolina.
Do you only lend in North Carolina?
No. Lending is nationwide. North Carolina has its own page because it is one of the markets deals most often come from, not because it is a boundary. If your property is in another state, submit it and the terms are the same.
Which parts of North Carolina do you lend in?
All of it. The most active markets are Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, and those are simply where the most deals have come from rather than a service area.
How fast can you close in North Carolina?
Five to fourteen days in most cases. Written terms come back in 24 to 48 hours, and after that the pace is set by title clearance rather than by me. If you have a hard closing date, say so in the submission and you will get an honest answer about whether it is achievable.
What kind of property do you fund in North Carolina?
Non-owner-occupied residential, one to four units, and small multifamily. Owner-occupied homes and primary residences are not funded anywhere, because this is investment property lending only.

Who this is for
Start where you fit.
For investors
Purchase and rehab in one facility, $25K to $1M+. Written terms in 24 to 48 hours and a wire in 5 to 14 days. No committee, no tax returns, one person to call.
For agents
Three ways an agent uses a lender: rescue a listing that will not sell, make an investor buyer credible, or refer the client and get paid for the introduction.
For wholesalers
Same-day capital for the A to B leg of a double close, with a proof of funds letter issued ahead of it so the seller treats your offer as real.
For builders
Land plus vertical, drawn against a schedule of values. Bids get reviewed before close rather than after, so the budget is settled before the first shovel.
Everywhere else
Not in North Carolina?
