Universal Capital was established in 2010 by an experienced team of mortgage banking professionals. We provide time-sensitive interim and bridge financing using non-owner occupied residential and commercial real estate as collateral.
Our funding is provided in an efficient and timely manner in contrast to the challenging and ever-changing guidelines experienced when working with traditional lenders. We are a direct lender utilizing our own capital as our funding source. We internally underwrite our loans allowing us to apply a common sense approach to our loan approval process.
