What is the Buy and Hold Strategy?

When you take out this non-traditional type of loan, the strategy involved includes purchasing a foreclosed or undervalued home with the goal of selling it at a profit either through renovations, appreciation, or both. Because most foreclosures require cash up front, a hard money buy and hold loan is the how to get the resources you need.

Our client’s have been getting buy and hold loans from us for decades. This is because traditional lenders are extremely limited on what type of real estate situations they can lend to. Typically they are limited to primary, owner-occupied residences. At Hard Money Lenders Arizona we love to lend to non-owner occupied properties and to real estate professionals who intend to turn those properties into a profit. We are a top hard money buy and hold loan lender in the Phoenix area who is committed to getting you the cash flow you need to grab a distressed property before someone else does. There is tremendous value in taking a distressed property and renovating it for profit and that’s why we have been offering buy and hold loans for 15+ years. We don’t put any limits on how many properties you can buy with our buy and hold loans so you can build an entire commercial portfolio with us as your financial backer.

Our underwriters are more concerned about your equity than they are your credit, so even if you have less than average credit, prior bankruptcies, or foreclosures, we can still approve you. Our process is fast and simple and designed to get you your money fast, sometimes in as little as four days.

Michael took great care of my client I sent his way! It was a very complicated situation for a client in a bad spot and he jumped right on it and took care of them. He ran into a few hiccups during the approval process and didn't stop until he found a solution and got the deal done.

If Michael can't get the deal done, it's not getting done!

Our team is always committed to finding solutions no matter how complex the situation might be. We look forward to working with you and your clients in the future!

m H.
Michael and Lara were fantastic to work with. This was our first hard money deal and we had 30 days to close on our Mesa warehouse. We ended up closing in only 18 days, and only because we were delayed in getting proof of building insurance. They could have funded us in around 10 days which is crazy fast! Michael was super friendly, always available by phone, and helped explain and guide us through the entire process. It was smooth and fast from day 1. Entire underwriting process was easy and fast. This will be the first of many deals we'll do with them from now on, so we can make more competitive all cash offers. I really liked working with this group and highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words. You were extremely helpful as well and allowed us to close it quick because of your communication as well. I am excited to do many many loans for you and this was just the first of many. Appreciate your business immensely !
Harold P.
Worked directly with Michael and let’s just say the approval process exceeded my expectations as far as timing went and frankly the entire process.

The speed at which Michael’s team worked at allowed us to close the deal in less than 3 weeks.

Ready to make the next deal, let’s go!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Harold! you made it easy and I know this will be the first of many deals!!
Derrick G.
Brought one of my investors to Mike and he did an amazing job. Execution and knowledge was on par. Adjusted to a significant change with the COE and didn’t even hesitate. Great asset to have in your corner!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Derrick! You made it so easy and helped so much! VERY much looking forward to doing deals with you and your clients!!!
Daniel P.
Working with Michael has been an extreme pleasure. Michael and his team are truly dependable, true to their word, and efficient, and performed in a manner that was quicker than expected. All requirements were met and we were able to close without delays.

I highly recommend everyone to work with Michael and his team and insist on working with Laura, Michael’s loan processor’ whom without her diligence, our loan probably would’ve been delayed.

Together they are an amazing team.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Daniel! You were extremely helpful in making this possible!! Looking forward to working with you many more times!
Ray S.
Best in the business...never would use anyone else. Professional and knowledgeable. Honest and informative.
Response from the owner:Thank You Ray! You were very helpful, responsive and super easy to work with. Cant wait for our next deal!!

Michael is a winner! Work with him and he’ll for sure do his best to help you and your client close no matter how harsh circumstance becomes. My client now gets to keep his home because of a HardMoney loan. On to the next deal!
Response from the owner:Thank you Ryan. Was a fun one to work on and I appreciate you thinking of me!
Brett H.
Amazing Experience w/ Michael. Very professional Speedy & detailed. Delivered on time & was very great with communication and process.
Response from the owner:Thank you Brett! Can't wait to do more deals with you!!

I had the pleasure of working with Michael to secure a loan for our home. He was able to gather our information, and close, record, and fund the loan within 10 days! the process was the least painful loan process I've experienced. The timing was perfect, we needed the good news and the great experience. Thanks again Michael we really appreciate it.
Response from the owner:Sean, thank you so juch!! Was a true pleasure to work with you. You made me look good! Looking forward to working with you again!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Michael Iuculano. The process for our loan was only about 2 weeks start to finish. They found us the perfect lender for our project with terms that were agreeable to all parties. He was super responsive to all of our questions and understood what we needed from the beginning. We will definitely be working with him again!

Osiel A.
Tim D.
All I have to say is that Mike is well known and I’ve worked with him in the past, as well. He will get it done. In this case we had 48 hours. He got it out and signed in 24 hours, from the time I brought it to him. Saved customers house. Fantastic job, Mike.
Response from the owner:Tim, we appreciate working with you again and as always. You made it very easy and we are delighted with the result!
David R.
I read Michael's ad in a home buying magazine and after having two other loan "order takers" just give up, I decided to give him a call. Best thing I could have done. Working with Michael is such a great relief because he gets that not every loan is some "cookie cutter, fit the formula" type of transaction. He takes the time to ask questions and find out what the goal of the loan is. In my case it was to unlock equity in other properties so I could better leverage my rentals. Michael had the knowledge and contacts to get my loan completed, and offered a few different solutions .

Michael's assistant Lara made sure everything got done right, and on time. She is great to work with, and responded quickly to any question I had. Together they make a great team and I look forward to working with them in the future.
Response from the owner:David, thank you so much for your reply. We loved working with you and you were extremely prompt and responsive so it's certainly made it easier and faster. We are looking forward to working with you again soon!
Sean M.
Michael Luculano and his team are nothing short of miracle workers in making a complex deal easy.

My wife and I were recently visiting Scottsdale for her birthday and had decided to look at a few homes. Nothing immediate, just getting ideas for the future. Then on the last day we run into the perfect new construction home, only problem is we weren't prepared to buy. Most of our long-term funding was tied up in our home back in Oregon and to complicate things further, the seller had another cash offer on the table and a ridiculously fast 3 week closing requirement to secure the property.

So, we took a leap of faith and called Hard Money Lenders with Barrett Financial and got Michael on the phone. That quickly took us from an impossible deal to closing on our new home in record time. Michael clearly communicated all the terms and numbers up front. And being such a rapid deal with a large amount of escrow on the line, he personally checked in with us daily.

We have worked with a lot of great people in the real estate and mortgage industries for over 30 years and have to say that Michael is one of the top professionals we have ever met. A true expert in mortgage and bridge loans / private lending. Even better, it was clear to us every day that Michael truly cares about his clients. Best phone call we could have ever made.

Thank you, Michael and Lara, for helping us make this North Scottsdale dream a reality!
Response from the owner:Sean, it was an honor to get the opportunity to work with you. I take my clients very seriously and it was awesome to work with you on this and earn the right to share in your joy. You were very responsive to all my calls and you were definitely a contributor in the outcome. I appreciate this opportunity immensely and welcome to Arizona!
Steven S.
I had a great experience working with Michael. He was quick, communicative, and professional. The whole process was easy and I got my funding very fast.
Response from the owner:Steven, we appreciate you so much. You were amazing to work with and super responsive. Thank you so much for the business and the trust! We look forward to working with you again soon!
Cindy D.
Excellent service! Michael was able to close our loan at a lower interest rate than originally quoted, as an added benefit to the already pleasant experience of working with Michael & his team. We closed ahead of time, no suprises, no drama, just positive results. The professional, dedicated staff was impressive as well. For positive results, this should be your mortgage choice.
Response from the owner:Cindy, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and you certainly made it easier by being so thorough. Thank you so much and we hope to work with you again soon!
Darlene L.
Mike was so very helpful in getting a loan for my new house! THANK YOU!
