New Owner-Occupied ADU Loan Program
After attending the recent California Mortgage of Association (CMA) in Monterey, where we connected with industry leaders, top private money attorneys, and fellow hard money professionals, we identified an important new opportunity in the market.
Pacific Direct Mortgage is proud to introduce a new Business-Purpose Loan Program for qualified homeowners who wish to build or remodel an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their primary residence.
These loans are structured as business-purpose financing, specifically designed for borrowers creating rental income opportunities. Please note: these are not consumer loans.
What This Means for Our Investors
This program expands our reach to serve a growing group of homeowners who are building or remodeling ADUs to generate rental income from their existing property. Each loan will continue to meet the same equity-based lending standards that guide Pacific Direct’s private lending activities:
- Strong collateral position: Each loans is secured by the borrower’s primary residence with substantial equity.
- Documented business purpose: Borrowers are required to provide a dated and wet-signed statement confirming the loan’s business intent and anticipated income use.
- Verified project documentation: ADU plans, permits, and contractor bids are required before any funds are released.
- Protective fund holdback: When plans or permits are pending, funds can held back until verification is complete.
Why It Matters
Demand for housing continues to rise across California, and ADUs have become one of the most practical ways for homeowners to generate additional business income. By maintaining our established private money lending criteria and equity-based standards, Pacific Direct Mortgage is able to help serve this growing segment and provide more investment opportunities to you.
