About This Closing

Hanover MC arranged a $2,000,000 hard money 1st trust deed on a legal 5-unit multifamily property in Huntington Beach, CA 92648. The loan was arranged as a business purpose cash-out refinance at 52% LTV on the as-is appraised value.

The subject property is a legal 5-plex located in the 92648 zip code — minutes from Downtown Huntington Beach and Pacific Coast Highway. Five legal residential units, off-street parking, individual meters, well-maintained throughout. A stabilized income-producing asset in one of Orange County's most consistently in-demand coastal rental markets.

Once a property reaches 5 units it crosses into commercial real estate territory — outside Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. The borrower needed to access equity on a timeline that conventional lenders couldn't meet. Hanover MC evaluated the collateral, confirmed the LTV, and arranged the loan.

Why This Deal Worked

At 52% LTV on a stabilized coastal Orange County multifamily asset, the collateral position was strong. The property carried consistent rental income across all five units, and the borrower's exit was clear. No bank. No loan committee. No automated underwriting system that flags 5-unit properties and kicks them out of the queue.

Hanover MC arranges hard money loans on 5+ unit multifamily properties throughout Orange County and greater Southern California — evaluating each deal on the asset, the equity, and the borrower's exit. Business purpose only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you get a hard money loan on a 5-plex in Huntington Beach?

Yes. Hanover MC arranged a $2,000,000 hard money 1st trust deed on a legal 5-plex in Huntington Beach, CA 92648 at 52% LTV. 

What is a legal 5-plex and why does it matter for financing?

A legal 5-plex is a multifamily property with five fully permitted residential units. At 5 units it becomes commercial real estate — outside standard residential lending guidelines. It requires commercial or private money financing, which is precisely where Hanover MC operates.

What LTV does Hanover MC use for multifamily hard money loans in Orange County?

LTV varies by deal, property type, and collateral position. This Huntington Beach 5-plex closed at 52% LTV on the as-is appraised value. Call (714) 838-1474 x102 to discuss your specific scenario. Borrowers and properties must qualify.

Does Hanover MC arrange hard money loans on multifamily properties in coastal Orange County?

Yes. Hanover MC arranges hard money 1st and 2nd trust deed loans on multifamily investment properties throughout Orange County including Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Anaheim, and surrounding coastal markets. Business purpose loans only.

Why would an investor use hard money for a cash-out refinance on a 5-plex?

Conventional lenders are slow and often won't lend on 5+ unit properties on investor timelines. Hard money provides faster closings and flexible underwriting based on the asset and equity — not personal income documentation or loan committee schedules.

How fast can Hanover MC close a hard money multifamily loan?

Significantly faster than conventional financing. Timing depends on appraisal, title, and borrower documentation. Call (714) 838-1474 x102 to discuss your timeline.
