File-fit guidance

Is VWR Capital Corp a good fit for your file?

Honest take from thousands of funded files. We send the right file to the right lender — not the loudest one.

Strong fit for

  • Short-term bridge (6-18 months) while we map an A or alt-A exit
  • CRA debt / writ / lien that must be paid before a bank will fund
  • Power-of-sale rescues with equity but no income proof
  • Equity take-out where banks decline due to credit or income

Probably not the right fit if

  • !Borrowers without a clear exit plan to A or alt-A
  • !Files where the equity cushion is thin (under 25% home equity)
  • !Long-term holds — private is bridge debt, not a 5-year solution
