Who We Are and How We Work

Hanover MC arranges an array of private mortgage loans for a multitude of purposes. We offer real estate loans on most types of properties ranging from $50,000 to over $2,500,000 throughout California.

We focus on loan scenarios that cannot be adequately handled by traditional lending sources either due to time constraints, deal complexity or the transitional nature of the asset. We step in where banks leave off, funding commercial, multi-family (apartments) and residential – business purpose, non-owner occupied, income producing 1-4 unit properties on purchase or refinance transactions.

We arrange financing for both cash-flowing, income-producing properties and for select transitional properties. We will consider completion dollars for unfinished construction projects that are at least 80%+ complete, SPEC financing for ground-up construction of stick-built & Modular as well as Fix & Flip/Hold financing.

We also provide solutions for real estate note holders to sell all of or a portion of their notes. Our approach to evaluating a note purchase considers a comprehensive range of risk attributes to generate an individualized price quote, making the note selling process quick, comfortable and affordable.
