About

GPS Capital in South Florida

GPS Capital is a direct hard money and bridge lender that has financed investment real estate nationwide since 2003. In Florida we lend across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties, plus Southwest Florida (Naples, Fort Myers) and Tampa Bay, on residential and commercial investment property.

Loans range from $500,000 to $20,000,000 at 8.99% to 12.99% interest with 2 points, on a 12 months, interest only term, up to 70% of after-repair value. There is no minimum credit score, income is not verified, and an appraisal is not always required. Term sheets go out the same business day and well-documented deals close as fast as 5 to 7 business days.

Every loan is business purpose and secured by investment property. Phone 718-247-8863. Email Deals@gpscapllc.com.

The Difference

Four reasons the deal actually closes.

Banks underwrite the borrower. We underwrite the asset. That single difference removes the tax returns, the income verification, the credit minimums and most of the calendar from a South Florida closing.

01 / DIRECT

One lender, term sheet to payoff

GPS Capital underwrites, funds and services its own loans. The quote you get is the quote you close on, because nobody upstream has to approve it.

02 / CREDIT

No minimum credit score

The property and the exit carry the loan. Income is not verified, and prior foreclosures, bankruptcies and derogatory credit do not disqualify a deal.

03 / CONDOS

The buildings agency lenders decline

Litigation, reserve shortfalls, structural assessments, investor concentration, short-term rental programs. South Florida condo files fail warrantability constantly. We still close them.

04 / SPEED

Appraisal not always required

In-house valuation and a site visit replace a formal appraisal on many deals. In a market where contracts carry short inspection periods, that is the whole advantage.

    Programs

    What we lend on down here.

    Residential is the core of this program, and the rest of the book is here when a portfolio crosses over. Every loan is business purpose and secured by investment property.

    Fix and Flip Loans

    Purchase and rehab financing on South Florida houses, townhouses and condos, sized off the after-repair value rather than today’s condition. Built for investors who buy distressed, add value and exit inside a year.

    Residential Purchase Loans

    Hard money to acquire an investment house, condo or 1 to 4 unit building on a timeline a Miami or Fort Lauderdale seller will take seriously. Underwritten on value, with a closing date you can put in the contract.

    Bridge Loans

    Transitional financing that carries a property from where it is now to permanent debt or a sale. Useful when a bank wants seasoning, occupancy or a stabilized rent roll you do not have yet. Larger requests also run through our private bridge lending program.

    Cash-Out Refinance Loans

    Pull equity out of a South Florida property you already own and redeploy it into the next deal. No income verification and no minimum credit score. Stabilized rentals that qualify on cash flow may fit our DSCR rental loan program instead.

    Luxury and Waterfront Home Loans

    Miami Beach, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Key Biscayne, Fort Lauderdale’s isles and the Keys. High-end single family, waterfront, estates, penthouses and spec builds to $20,000,000, without the jumbo overlays and the months-long bank appraisal process.

    Condo and Non-Warrantable Condo Loans

    South Florida condo buildings fail agency warrantability constantly: litigation, reserves, structural assessments, high investor concentration, short-term rental programs. None of that stops an asset-based lender from closing.

    Ground-Up Construction Loans

    Private construction financing for residential infill, teardown-and-rebuild and spec projects, funded in draws against completed work. Experienced sponsors and first-time builders with the right deal both get a look.

    Small Multifamily Loans

    Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and 5+ unit buildings across the tri-county. The rental stock investors actually trade in South Florida, financed on the asset rather than on your tax returns.

    Foreclosure Bailout Loans

    A refinance that pays off the defaulted lender and stops the sale. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so there is usually more runway than a borrower expects. A notice of default or a scheduled sale date does not disqualify the deal.

    Bankruptcy Bailout Loans

    Financing to exit Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 and get an asset back on stable footing. We underwrite the property and the plan, not the filing history.

    Land Loans

    Residential lots and infill parcels on a case-by-case basis, including entitled land held for a build. GPS Capital has closed a land purchase in three days with no appraisal.

    Mixed-Use and Commercial Bridge

    Bridge debt on mixed-use, retail, office, industrial, warehouse and self-storage for when a residential investor’s portfolio crosses over. One lender for the whole book.

    Process

    Submitted Monday. Funded next week.

    Five steps, no committee, no broker in the middle. The timeline below is what a clean South Florida file looks like from the day it lands.

    01

    Submit

    Send the property address, the type, the price or current value and the loan amount. Six fields on this page is enough for a first look.

    02

    Term sheet

    A principal reviews the file and comes back with real numbers: amount, rate, points, term. Same business day.

    03

    Valuation

    In-house valuation and a site visit. On many South Florida deals that replaces a formal appraisal, which is where the weeks come off.

    04

    Documents

    Title, insurance and entity documents. Florida closings run through a title company, and we work with yours or bring ours.

    05

    Fund

    Wire goes out at closing. A well-documented deal funds as fast as 5 to 7 business days.

    Track Record

    Questions

    Answered plainly.

    Still unsure whether your scenario fits? Call 718-247-8863 and ask. We will tell you straight.

    Does GPS Capital lend in South Florida?

    Yes. GPS Capital lends across South Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties and Monroe County in the Florida Keys — and also on the Gulf coast in Naples and Fort Myers and across the Tampa Bay area. Loans run $500,000 to $20,000,000 on investment residential and commercial real estate, and GPS Capital has lent nationwide since 2003.

    What is a hard money loan?

    A hard money loan is a short-term loan secured by real estate and underwritten on the value of the property rather than the borrower’s credit or income. South Florida investors use hard money when a bank is too slow, or when the property or the borrower does not fit bank guidelines. GPS Capital hard money loans run 12 months, interest only on investment property.

    What are GPS Capital’s hard money rates and terms in South Florida?

    GPS Capital hard money loans in South Florida range from $500,000 to $20,000,000 at 8.99% to 12.99% interest with 2 points, on a 12 months, interest only term, up to 70% of after-repair value. Final pricing depends on the property, the leverage and the exit.

    How fast can GPS Capital close on a Miami or Fort Lauderdale property?

    GPS Capital closes as fast as 5 to 7 business days on a well-documented deal. A term sheet usually goes out the same business day the deal is submitted. Skipping a formal appraisal, where the file allows it, is what takes the weeks off.

    Do you lend on residential property in South Florida?

    Yes. Residential is the core of this program: single family houses, condos, townhouses, and 2 to 4 unit buildings, plus 5+ unit multifamily. Every loan is business purpose and secured by investment property, so owner-occupied primary residences are not eligible.

    Does GPS Capital have a minimum credit score?

    No. GPS Capital has no minimum credit score and does not verify income. Underwriting is on the asset and the exit, so prior foreclosures, bankruptcies and derogatory credit are not disqualifying.

    Does GPS Capital require an appraisal?

    Not always. GPS Capital can close many South Florida hard money loans without a formal appraisal by using in-house valuation and a site visit. When an appraisal is needed it is ordered on day one so it does not hold up the closing.

    Will you lend on a non-warrantable condo?

    Yes. South Florida condo buildings routinely fail agency warrantability over litigation, reserve shortfalls, structural assessments, investor concentration or a short-term rental program. GPS Capital underwrites the unit and the exit, so a building that a conventional lender will not touch is still financeable.

    Do you lend in the Florida Keys?

    Yes. GPS Capital lends throughout Monroe County, from Key Largo and Islamorada through Marathon and Big Pine Key to Key West. Thin comparable sales, short-term rental use and flood exposure slow these files down at a bank and are ordinary for an asset-based lender.

    Can you finance a fix and flip in Broward or Miami-Dade?

    Yes. GPS Capital sizes fix and flip loans off the after-repair value rather than the current condition, up to 70% of after-repair value. Purchase and rehab are both financed, and the term is 12 months, interest only so the loan matches a one-year flip.

    Do you lend on luxury and waterfront homes?

    Yes. GPS Capital funds bridge loans to $20,000,000 on luxury single family homes, waterfront property, estates, penthouses and high-end spec builds in Miami Beach, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Key Biscayne, Fort Lauderdale and the Keys. These close on the same asset-based timeline as any other loan, without jumbo overlays.

    Can a hard money loan stop a foreclosure in Florida?

    Often, yes. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so the process runs through the courts and usually leaves more runway than a borrower expects. GPS Capital refinances properties in default to pay off the foreclosing lender and stop the sale. A notice of default or a scheduled sale date does not disqualify the deal.

    What is the difference between a hard money loan and a bridge loan?

    A bridge loan is a hard money loan used to cover the gap between buying or refinancing a property and the permanent financing or sale that follows. Both are short-term, asset-based and secured by real estate. GPS Capital offers both under one program at the same rates and terms.

    What documents do you need to quote a South Florida deal?

    GPS Capital needs the property address and type, the purchase contract or current value, the loan amount requested, the exit plan and a personal guarantee. Tax returns and income verification are not required in most cases.

    Is GPS Capital a direct lender or a broker?

    GPS Capital is a direct lender. GPS Capital underwrites, funds and services its own loans in-house. There is no committee and no outside capital approval, so a term sheet from GPS Capital is a decision rather than a referral.

    How do I apply for a South Florida hard money loan?

    Submit the deal through the form on this page, email Deals@gpscapllc.com, or call 718-247-8863. Send the property address and type, the price or current value, and the loan amount you need. GPS Capital responds the same business day.

    Send the deal.
    Get a straight answer.

    Property type, address, loan amount and your goal is enough for us to start. Every submission is reviewed by the team that funds the loan, with a response the same business day. Stabilized South Florida rentals may fit a DSCR loan, and larger transitional assets can run through our bridge lending program.
