Market Insight

Lafayette's BART station and exceptional schools create a rare combination of transit access and suburban quality of life. Luxury fix-and-flip is especially active, with buyers paying premiums for updated kitchens and master suites.

Lafayette investors are primarily focused on luxury fix-and-flip, custom construction, and high-value rental properties. With over $2M median home price, private capital is often the fastest and most flexible financing tool available.

Speed Over Everything

In competitive markets like Lafayette, a 5–10 day close wins the deal. Conventional lenders can't compete with private money speed.

No Income Verification

Our DSCR rental loans qualify based on the property's cash flow, not your W-2. Self-employed investors and business owners are welcome.

Asset-Based Lending

Approval is based on the property's value and your investment plan — not a bureaucratic credit file. Credit scores as low as 620 considered.

Frequently Asked Questions — Lafayette

What types of investment loans do you offer in Lafayette?
We offer Fix & Flip bridge loans, Ground Up Construction loans, Stabilized Bridge loans, Single Property DSCR Rental loans, and Rental Portfolio blanket loans — all available for residential investment properties (non-owner-occupied) in Lafayette and throughout Contra Costa County.
How fast can I close a hard money loan in Lafayette?
Most fix & flip and bridge loans in Lafayette close in 5–10 business days from completed application. Ground-up construction loans typically take 10–15 business days due to draw schedule review. Speed is our primary advantage in Lafayette's competitive investment market.
What LTV do you lend for fix-and-flip loans in Lafayette?
We lend up to 90% of purchase price and 100% of rehab costs on fix-and-flip loans in Lafayette, subject to a maximum of 75% of the after-repair value (ARV). Given Lafayette's over $2M median home price, this allows investors to finance the majority of their acquisition and renovation costs with minimal equity required upfront.
Do you lend on multifamily properties in Lafayette?
Yes — we lend on 1–4 unit residential investment properties in Lafayette, including single-family homes, condos, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. All properties must be non-owner-occupied investment properties. We do not lend on owner-occupied primary residences or commercial properties.
What is a DSCR loan and does it make sense for Lafayette rentals?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan qualifies based on the rental income the property generates, not the borrower's personal income or tax returns. For Lafayette landlords — especially self-employed investors — this removes the biggest obstacle to portfolio growth. We lend up to 80% LTV on DSCR loans in Lafayette.
