Real Deals, Real Properties

Hard money is often the only path forward when a property or a timeline doesn't fit a conventional lender's box. Here are a few recent examples of the kind of deals Hanover MC arranges:

Together, these deals reflect a pattern rather than an exception: Hanover MC arranges financing for property types and structures — special purpose commercial, manufactured housing, blanket loans across multiple properties.

Why Investors Work With Hanover MC

Deals Looked at Organically, No Loan Committee

Deals are looked at organically at Hanover MC — there is no loan committee slowing things down. Each property is evaluated individually, and every deal gets custom loan documents rather than a one-size-fits-all package. This approach can accommodate self-employed borrowers, applicants with past credit challenges, and non-standard property types that don't fit conventional underwriting boxes.

Loan Terms

• Loan amounts: $50,000 to $3 million+
• Combined loan-to-value (CLTV): up to 65%, depending on property type
• Balloon terms: 1-year or 5-year options
• Amortization: 40, 30, 25, 15, or 10-year options, plus interest-only

These terms are designed to help investors manage cash flow while staying on track with their investment strategy. Actual rates and terms vary by deal and are confirmed in a formal quote.

No Upfront Fees, No Prepayment Penalties

Hanover MC charges no upfront fees and applies no penalty for paying a loan off early, giving borrowers the flexibility to exit on their own timeline.

A Streamlined Process

Hanover MC's process is built for investors who need to move fast in competitive markets:

Who Hanover MC Works With

• Real Estate Investors buying, renovating, or refinancing income properties
• Developers needing land acquisition or construction financing
• Business Owners seeking capital for expansion or commercial real estate
• Non-Traditional Borrowers underserved by conventional lending due to credit history, self-employment, or unique property types

All programs above are for business or investment purposes; Hanover MC does not offer consumer-purpose loans. A loan secured by an owner-occupied property may still qualify if the loan proceeds are used for business purposes.
