Save the Deal
Financing Fell Through? Give Your Deal a Second Look.
Financing fell through before closing? Hard money declined, lender backed out, or DSCR denied — submit your deal to the Jaken Finance Group Second Look Desk for a rescue review.
When the first lender says no — or disappears
A hard money loan denied notice, a DSCR loan declined email, or a lender who stops responding before wire — these are loan denial moments, not always dead deals. They are deals that need a different structure, leverage point, or asset-based lender who underwrites the collateral instead of the checkbox that failed.
The Second Look Desk at Jaken Finance Group reviews rescue scenarios nationwide: fix-and-flip, bridge, DSCR, gap, and wholesale end-buyer files where the original financing fell apart. Tell us what went wrong, upload the original term sheet if you have it, and we will tell you whether the deal can still close — often same-day on complete files.

What we review on a Second Look
- Why the original lender declined, reduced leverage, or backed out
- Property type, condition, and location — including rural and non-warrantable assets
- Purchase price, rehab budget, ARV, and DSCR where applicable
- Borrower liquidity, experience, and entity structure
- Closing deadline — including 48-hour rescue windows
- Original term sheet or approval, if available
Common rescue paths include restructuring leverage on hard money, switching from DSCR to bridge (or vice versa), gap or second-position capital, and wholesale end-buyer financing when the assignment buyer cannot perform.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a Second Look in real estate lending?
- A rescue underwriting review when the first lender declined, cut leverage, or backed out before closing. Submit the deal with the original term sheet and what went wrong — Jaken Finance Group reviews whether another asset-based structure can still close.
- What loan types qualify for Second Look rescue?
- Fix-and-flip, hard money, bridge, DSCR, gap, and wholesale end-buyer files on non-owner-occupied investment property nationwide.
- What is the jakenfinancegroup.com/rescue hotlink?
- A short URL that redirects to the Second Look hub at /second-look/. Use it in conversation, email, and cards when financing fell through — same destination as jakenfinancegroup.com/saveadeal.
- How fast can a rescue file close?
- Complete files on qualified deals often close in 7–10 business days. Deals inside 48 hours need a complete submission immediately — upload contract, scope, and original lender terms on the Second Look form.
- Hard money loan denied — is the deal dead?
- Not always. Denial usually means that lender's box, not that no asset-based lender can fund the collateral. See /hard-money-loan-denied/ for problem-specific guidance.
