At Optimus Capital, our mission is to simplify and accelerate real estate investing through tailored funding strategies. Whether you’re acquiring, refinancing, or expanding your portfolio, we’re here to help you succeed – smarter, faster, nationwide.
Optimus Capital markets a rapid draw process on its fix and flip loans, structured as reimbursement: the borrower requests a construction draw once a phase of work is complete, and after the renovations are done the investor submits a reimbursement request. Optimus does not publish the inspection method (physical or virtual) or a specific per-draw turnaround, so both should be confirmed for a given project.
Where Optimus is specific is closing speed: it advertises closings as quickly as five days, often within a week, and generally in ten days or less. For rehabbers, the picture is a fast close paired with a reimbursement-based draw process whose exact timing is set case by case. Investors on a tight rehab schedule should confirm the draw approval and inspection steps directly with Optimus before closing.

Ratings are based on the following criteria:
Platinum & Gold Lenders
Platinum and Gold lenders are committed to delivering a modern, streamlined draw experience. These lenders typically support fully digital draw requests combined with virtual inspections across a wide range of project types. Their goal is to provide the fastest possible turnaround times without compromising risk management or construction oversight.
Silver & Bronze Lenders
Silver and Bronze lenders are still strong lending partners and have automated portions of their draw operations. However, the borrower experience may vary depending on the project type, inspection method, or capital partner requirements. In some cases, additional approval layers or third-party capital sources can increase reimbursement timelines.
About Virtual Inspections
Virtual inspections allow borrowers to skip scheduling a field inspector. They are typically reviewed within hours of submission. Borrowers must still document work thoroughly, including cost evidence (receipts) and lien waivers where applicable. Every lender listed on Lenderly offers virtual inspections and automated draw requests. The majority utilize independent construction experts for remote review, or they review submissions in house.
A draw-friendly lender is one that prioritizes speed, simplicity, and reliability when it comes to funding your project. They make it easy to request draws, minimize friction in the process, and get you reimbursed quickly so your project keeps moving.
The best draw-friendly lenders combine digital draw request tools with virtual inspections, allowing you to submit, verify, and receive funds often within 24 hours.
