Hard money loans in Burbank: the market today
Source: Redfin, three months ending September 2026.
Burbank is home to Warner Bros., Disney and the Hollywood Burbank Airport, which keeps demand for homes and rentals steady. Prices rose slightly over the past year while homes took a few more days to sell, a balanced market where well-prepared buyers and owners can plan their moves.
Many Burbank owners are adding value instead of moving: building a backyard unit (ADU), which state law has made easier, or renovating to rent or resell. A short-term loan against your equity can fund the work, and you refinance once it's finished. Burbank is its own city, so the City of Los Angeles mansion tax (Measure ULA) does not apply, and most rentals fall under California's statewide rent cap (AB 1482).

Burbank questions
Can I use a hard money loan to build an ADU in Burbank?
Yes. A short-term loan against your home's equity can pay for construction. Once the unit is finished and rented, many owners refinance into a long-term bank loan. Every loan has 4 guaranteed monthly payments.
Does the Los Angeles mansion tax apply in Burbank?
No. Measure ULA is a City of Los Angeles tax, and Burbank is a separate city.
How fast can a Burbank loan close?
Many of our loans fund in as little as 7 business days, because we decide mainly on the property and your equity.
