Altadena is a large unincorporated community in the foothills above Pasadena, permitted by the county, with Craftsman housing, large lots and a direct wildland interface below the Angeles National Forest.
Altadena sits in Los Angeles County, California, and Loan Goat lends on investment property across the whole of it. The same programs run in La Canada Flintridge, Sierra Madre and Eagle Rock, so an investor working a corridor rather than a single ZIP code keeps one lender, one quote format and one set of terms across every file.
The whole point of a private lender is that the deal decides the answer. On Altadena property that means value, exit and plan, reviewed by the same desk that releases the funds. Veteran-owned, in business since 2022, 1.3K+ loans closed.
© THE COST ALTADENA · CA
WHAT DO ALTADENA HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing an Altadena deal is straightforward. Bridge runs from 9.00% to 13.00% and moves with leverage and risk. Ask for more of the purchase price and the rate moves up; bring a stronger exit and it moves down. Residential bridge goes to 75% LTV and commercial to 70%.
Every quote is written before an appraisal is ordered, so an Altadena investor knows the rate, the leverage, the term and the fees while there is still time to walk. No prepayment penalty on the bridge programs means a flip that sells in four months costs four months of interest, not twelve.
| PROGRAM | RATES | LEVERAGE UP TO | TERMS | LOAN AMOUNTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRIDGE LOAN | 9.00% to 13.00% | LTV 75% | 1 or 2 years | $150,000 to $25,000,000 |
| FIX & FLIP | 9.99% to 12.00% | LTV 85% of purchase, LTC 100% of rehab | 6 to 18 months | $250,000 to $10,000,000 |
| RENTAL DSCR | 6.50% to 9.99% Non-QM | LTV 80% | 5, 7, 30 and 40 year fixed | Sized to the property |
Starting rates for qualified borrowers, from the published terms cards. Points and fees are quoted on the Letter of Intent. Rates are subject to change without notice and are not a commitment to lend.
Those are the published ranges, not a teaser. Where an Altadena deal lands inside them depends on the property, the leverage and the exit. The fastest way to a real number is the address, the price and the plan.

A private lender earns its rate by being fast and being sure. On Altadena property that shows up as a written quote the same day, an appraisal ordered only once the terms are agreed, and a wire inside a week. The rate buys the speed and the certainty.
Craftsman and Spanish homes, mid-century houses on large foothill lots, and limited commercial. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
Character renovation, large-lot ADUs, and foothill property purchases. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

ALTADENA HARD MONEY LOANS, ANSWERED
Straight answers to what borrowers ask before they call. Questions we answer elsewhere link to the page that owns them.
-
Yes. Loan Goat funds investment property in Altadena and across Los Angeles County on every program listed on this site: bridge, fix and flip, construction, rental property, commercial, owner occupied, bank financing, second and third mortgages and blanket loans. The desk is in San Diego, the capital is in house, and Altadena files are underwritten on the property rather than on where the borrower banks.
Request a quote -
Five to seven days is standard and low-doc bridge files have funded in as little as three. The timeline on an Altadena deal is usually set by title and escrow rather than by underwriting, because the credit decision is made in house by one person. Open title early and the wire follows the written terms.
How it works -
Non-owner-occupied residential from single-family up to four units, apartment buildings, mixed-use, retail, office, industrial and flex, self-storage, hospitality, manufactured housing and land across Los Angeles County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Altadena asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Los Angeles County, because Altadena is unincorporated rather than part of Pasadena. The county process differs from the city's in both requirements and timeline, so we size the term around the right one.
-
Single-family rentals, condos, townhomes, two to four unit buildings, apartment buildings, mixed-use, retail, office, industrial and flex, self-storage, hospitality, manufactured housing and land. Business-purpose and non-owner-occupied is the core of the book, with owner-occupied handled under its own program.
Property types -
The address, the purchase price or current value, what you owe, what you plan to do with the property and how you intend to pay the loan back. That is enough for a written quote. Full-doc income packages are not part of the low-doc programs, which is why a quote arrives in hours rather than weeks.
Request a quote -
Credit is reviewed, but the property carries the decision. These are business-purpose loans on non-owner-occupied real estate, underwritten to value, exit and the strength of the deal. Investors turned down by a bank for self-employment, a recent event on file or thin documentation are routine business here.
Self-employed borrowers -
Bridge money runs from 9.00% to 13.00% and moves with leverage, property type, exit and experience. Rental loans price lower because the property carries the debt, from 6.50% on the Non-QM tier. Every quote is written before an appraisal is ordered, so you are never chasing a number that changes at the closing table.
