Request Amounts and Terms

Requests start at US$50,000. This minimum threshold establishes the baseline for property-backed financing requests handled by GAP Equity Loans. Each request is evaluated based on the specific property presented and the details contained within the individual loan file.

Terms are six months to three years. This timeframe provides structure for property-backed financing arrangements. The specific term assigned to a request depends on the individual property and loan file under consideration.

First-Lien Position and Existing Liens

Financing uses qualifying Costa Rica real estate and the lender receives first-lien position. This positioning is a fundamental component of the property-backed financing structure and applies to every request handled by GAP Equity Loans.

If a property has an existing lien, it must be paid off before closing or paid off at closing. In either case, the lender must receive first-lien position.
