Speed Matters: How RCN Capital Helps Brokers Win Time-Sensitive Deals

In 2025, real estate properties disappear from the open market in hours. Sellers are demanding proof of funds up front, and investors are finding themselves competing with all-cash buyers who can close in less than 10 days.

Meanwhile, traditional lenders still take 3 to 6 weeks to make loan decisions. That kind of delay costs you time, deals, and commissions. In today’s competitive market, speed is the difference between making the deal and losing it entirely. Brokers who succeed work with partners who can meet the needs of the market. That's why RCN Capital created a lending process built for time-sensitive deals.

The private lending industry now exceeds $2.1 trillion, and competition between brokers has never been fiercer. Your clients demand fast answers, transparent communication, and performance under pressure. RCN Capital provides all three, supported by a broker-first philosophy that enables you to lead the market and dictate every transaction.

The Speed Revolution in Real Estate Financing

Current market data shows the unprecedented move toward speed-driven transactions. Properties currently take an average of 23 days to sell after listing, compared to 35 days in early 2024. 28% of all transactions involve cash offers, putting immense pressure on buyers who need financing.

This unprecedented speed touches all areas of real estate finance. Investors who get funding quickly close more deals. Those who hold out for bank approvals miss opportunities to faster-moving competitors. As a direct private lender, RCN Capital makes all approvals in-house, eliminating the delays associated with correspondent lending relationships. This streamlined approach enables decisions within 24 hours and closings in as few as 10 business days.

The Hidden Costs of Slow Financing

Every extra day the approval process takes costs brokers and their clients money. Aggressive sellers also tend to accept lower bids from cash purchasers. Industry statistics indicate that transactions that take longer than 30 days to close are 23% more likely to fail compared to those that close within 21 days. This heightened failure rate is the result of a myriad of reasons: seller impatience, financing complications, and market instability.

The best private lenders for time-sensitive deals are aware of these risks and develop processes to reduce delay points. RCN Capital's method removes typical bottlenecks through direct underwriting, minimal documentation requirements, and specialized lending teams for each broker relationship.

RCN Capital's Speed-Focused Approach

RCN Capital’s loan speed is a result of clever process engineering. Every step has been developed to remove unnecessary delays while still maintaining underwriting procedures.

24-Hour Pre-Approval Decisions: RCN Capital makes pre-approval decisions in as little as 24 hours upon receipt of completed application packages. This fast pre-approval strategy allows brokers the comfort of making effective offers promptly.

Streamlined Documentation: Required documents are centered on key underwriting considerations instead of detailed financial records. This targeted strategy saves preparation time while maintaining loan quality.

Direct Underwriting Authority: As a direct lender, RCN Capital's underwriting staff makes decisions independently without outside approvals. This level of control eliminates the delays associated with correspondent relationships or committee approvals.

Dedicated Lending Teams: Every broker is assigned a specific lending team familiar with their clients' wants and needs. This relationship-based model removes the learning curve seen with new deals.

Market Statistics Drive Speed Requirements

Speed is necessary in current market conditions if you want to achieve success. Mortgage application volumes fell 6.2% early in 2025 while conventional borrowers waited for rate enhancements. However, investor activity remained strong, providing opportunities for brokers who have the ability to provide quick financing solutions.

DSCR loans now account for 12% of private lending volume, compared to 8% in 2024. The increase demonstrates investor bias toward speed over conventional documentation requirements. Brokers who embrace this win more business and close more loans.

With interest rates hitting record highs of 7.04%, more investors are turning to private lending options that at least provide speed advantages over conventional financing.
