Hard money

Hard money is the nickname. The exit picks the program.

Sphinx Capital does not publish a separate hard-money term sheet. Short-term capital is fix-and-flip when you renovate and sell, or bridge when the property is in transition toward takeout.

Two short-term doors, not one hard-money card.

Pick the program that matches the exit. Do not expect a third rate.

Up to 90% LTC / 75% ARV
Fix & Flip amount
$200,000 - $10,000,000+

Best For

Use this page to choose the short-term door.

If you already know the exit, skip ahead to that program.

  • Investors who say hard money and mean acquire, renovate, and sell
  • Sponsors who need a short bridge to lease-up, refinance, or sale
  • Brokers sending a time-sensitive file that is not a rental hold

How this maps

There is no third hard-money box.

Choose the program, then apply. The first apply step is where you pick Fix & Flip or Bridge.

Renovate and sell

Fix & flip: purchase, rehab, and exit. Up to 90% LTC and 75% ARV on qualifying files. Rates start at 9.50%.

Hold through a transition

Bridge: lease-up, repositioning, or custom short-term structure before permanent debt. Not a flip execution loan.

Rental hold instead

If the property is a keep-and-rent story, you want DSCR — start on refinance or long-term rental, not here.

Before You Apply

Name the exit before you name the product.

Hard money is a search term. Underwriting needs an exit.

  • Sale after rehab → apply as Fix & Flip.
  • Takeout, lease-up, or refinance → apply as Bridge.
  • Read the matching program page for the full term glance.
