A scaling investor came to us on a tight 30‑day deadline. If he didn’t refinance in time, the balloon payment was due.
He’d already talked to a few “big name” lenders.
Most of them were advertising that one story deal they closed in 30 days…
But when you ask for their average turn time, it’s more like 35–45 days.
That doesn’t work when the clock is ticking.
So we went with a lender we’ve personally closed with, repeatedly, in under 30 days.
And that’s exactly what happened here.
We closed in under 30 days, balloon handled.
Now we’re already looking at two more of his deals with the same 30‑day timeline.
You need a lender whose normal process matches your deadline.
Curious for the group: who here has a “30‑day” deal that turned into 45–60? What happened?
If you’re currently in that situation, comment “30” with your rough dates (application submitted, close of escrow date) and we can walk through whether this is normal for your deal type or a lender issue.
