Brickline helps Ohio real estate investors finance eligible investment-property deals using hard money loans designed for situations where the property, timeline, and financing plan matter.
Investors may use this financing for eligible acquisitions, property improvements, transitional situations, or other strategies that fit the program before moving toward the planned exit.
Ohio Financing
Hard money loans can be useful when an investment property or transaction does not fit the timing, condition, or structure of conventional financing. This short-term capital is often ideal for value-add projects.
For investors, the right structure depends on what is happening with the property now, how capital will be used, and what needs to happen before the eventual sale, refinance, or long-term hold.
Brickline reviews the financing request around the property, borrower profile, program guidelines, and investment plan to help move qualified deals toward the appropriate next step.
Loan Programs
Different investment strategies may require different loan structures. Brickline offers financing across several common real estate investor scenarios.
Financing for eligible property purchases and renovation projects with a resale or refinance strategy.
LTC: 90% of purchase + 100% of Rehab
Longer-term rental financing where property cash flow plays a central role in qualification.
LTV: 90% of purchase + 100% of Rehab
Short-term financing for eligible acquisitions, refinances, and transitional investment properties.
LTV: 90% of purchase + 100% of Rehab
Financing for eligible ground-up investment projects built around the construction plan and project timeline.
LTV: 90% of purchase + 100% of Rehab
Common Uses
Use hard money to quickly acquire an eligible investment property that needs significant repairs or is not yet suitable for traditional financing.
Combine the purchase and renovation costs into a single hard money loan for value-add projects, allowing for a streamlined capital injection.
Utilize hard money as temporary financing to stabilize or improve a property, preparing it for a longer-term refinance or sale.
Finance an investment property that requires a strategic repositioning or lease-up period before it can qualify for conventional rental loans.

The right financing structure depends less on a state label alone and more on the actual investment property, its current condition, the requested leverage, the timeline, and the intended exit. Hard money is often chosen for its speed and flexibility.
A property being renovated, stabilized, refinanced, or prepared for resale may require a different financing approach from a property already positioned for a long-term hold. Hard money excels in these transitional phases.

A hard money loan in Ohio is a type of short-term, asset-backed financing used by real estate investors for eligible investment properties. It’s typically used for acquisitions, renovations, or other value-add projects where speed and property condition are key factors.
Hard money loans are commonly used for time-sensitive acquisitions, purchasing distressed properties that don’t qualify for traditional financing, funding renovation projects, or bridging the gap before a property is ready for a long-term refinance or sale.
Yes, many hard money loans are structured to cover both the acquisition of an eligible investment property and the costs associated with its renovation or improvement. This allows investors to finance the entire project with one loan.
Brickline primarily evaluates the strength of the investment property itself, the investor’s experience, the overall deal structure, and the viability of the proposed exit strategy (e.g., resale or refinance) when considering a hard money loan.
Hard money loans are typically for non-owner-occupied investment properties, which can include single-family homes, multi-family properties, and other commercial investment real estate that fits the program guidelines.
Hard money loans are generally short-term. Repayment usually comes from the sale of the renovated property, or by refinancing into a longer-term loan once the property is stabilized and meets the criteria for conventional financing.
An investor might refinance a hard money loan into a DSCR or other long-term rental loan once the property has been renovated, stabilized, and is generating consistent rental income. This transition allows for lower interest rates and longer terms suitable for a buy-and-hold strategy.
