What kinds of properties do you finance?
+
Non-owner-occupied 1–4 unit residential investment properties — single-family rentals, small multifamily (duplex, triplex, fourplex), short-term rentals (with restrictions by lender), and condos. Portfolio loans bundle 5+ properties. We do not finance owner-occupied homes, manufactured homes (with exceptions), or commercial 5+ unit apartments.
How fast can you actually close?
+
Fix-and-flip and bridge loans can close in 10–14 days when documents are clean. DSCR rental loans typically close in 21–30 days due to appraisal and title timelines. Cash-out refinances add 3 days for the right-of-rescission period. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front, not a marketing promise.
What does it cost to use Eniji Lending?
+
Nothing direct. We're compensated by the wholesale lender at closing — a transparent fee disclosed on your commitment letter and HUD settlement statement. You see the all-in cost of the loan (rate, points, fees) before signing anything.
Are you a direct lender?
+
No — and that's the point. We're a wholesale brokerage. We work with multiple direct lenders (Kiavi, Lima One, RCN Capital, LendingOne, Visio, and others) so your deal gets shopped to the lender most likely to approve it on the best terms — instead of being shoehorned into a single lender's credit box.
Do I need to be an experienced investor?
+
No. Several lenders on our panel accept first-time investors for DSCR loans (no flips required). For fix-and-flip, first-timers can qualify with a strong scope of work, contractor in place, and 25%+ down. We'll match you to a lender that fits your experience profile.
Does applying hurt my credit?
+
No. Initial qualification uses a soft credit pull only — no score impact. A hard inquiry occurs only when you accept a specific lender's term sheet and move into formal underwriting.
What states do you operate in?
+
Eniji brokers business-purpose investment property loans nationally where state law does not require additional broker licensing. A subset of states — including California, Arizona, Nevada, Minnesota, Oregon, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Idaho — impose state-specific licensing requirements on these products. We will confirm eligibility for your specific transaction at scenario review and will not initiate brokerage activity in any state where we do not hold the required authorization. If your deal sits in a regulated state, we will tell you up front rather than waste your time.
Can I refinance an existing hard money loan?
+
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we handle. We'll structure a DSCR or portfolio refinance to take out your bridge or hard money loan, often with cash-out for your next acquisition. Seasoning requirements vary (some lenders allow delayed financing immediately).
