Hard Money Lending in Maine

Maine’s diverse real estate market demands reliable capital and fast execution—two qualities Crebrid delivers with every loan. We offer hard money loans for fix & flip, bridge, new construction, and refinance projects across the state. From bustling Portland to quieter markets in Bangor and Augusta, Crebrid’s asset-based lending model ensures fast and efficient funding, without the delays and red tape of traditional lenders.

Our loans focus on property value and the potential of your investment, not your credit score or income history. This means fewer obstacles, quicker approval, and flexible terms designed to help you make moves when opportunities arise. Whether you’re acquiring distressed properties, building from the ground up, or repositioning assets, Crebrid’s financing is designed to support your long-term success.

What is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan from Crebrid is a short-term financing solution secured by the property itself, rather than personal income or credit history. This allows you to bypass traditional loan processes and unlock capital quickly. Whether you’re purchasing, rehabbing, or refinancing, Crebrid’s loans offer competitive rates, transparent terms, and the flexibility to execute your strategy without waiting for banks to catch up.

Maine is shifting toward balance: sales are up while the median price eased, which can open the door to credits and inspection wins. If you’re new to the market, underwrite to quick pendings but budget for slightly more negotiation than last year.
