Loan Goat lends across Arkansas, in Little Rock, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Springdale and Jonesboro. Our borrower is the investor rather than the homeowner: the operator flipping a house in Pulaski County, the landlord adding doors in Washington County, the builder putting up rentals where the jobs went. Business-purpose financing on non-owner-occupied property is all we do, and it is funded off our own balance sheet.
Arkansas has two engines pulling in different directions. Northwest Arkansas, the Fayetteville and Springdale corridor, grew up around corporate headquarters, trucking and poultry, and it behaves like a growth market: new build, build-to-rent and constant student demand. Central Arkansas around Little Rock is a cash-flow market with older housing stock and stable government and medical employment. The Delta around Jonesboro and the river valley around Fort Smith trade on basis.
We are based in San Diego and fund Arkansas deals from there, which is faster than it sounds. Loan Goat holds its own capital, so the file goes to one decision maker instead of a committee that meets when it meets. There is no local branch to visit and no local approval to sit through. Terms come back in hours, and a clean bridge file can close in as fast as three days.
The Ozarks side of the state is a real build-to-rent and short-term rental market, with Fayetteville student housing tied to the University of Arkansas and vacation demand running toward Beaver Lake and the Buffalo National River. Little Rock investors work Hillcrest, the Heights and the Quapaw Quarter, where brick and frame houses from another century reward a proper renovation. Fort Smith and Jonesboro offer workforce rentals, small multifamily and property near the industrial and distribution corridors.

© THE COST SAN DIEGO HQ · ARKANSAS
WHAT DO ARKANSAS HARD MONEY LOANS COST
An Arkansas quote is built from the deal, not from the state. Bridge from 9.00% and up to 75% LTV on residential, 70% on commercial, one or two year terms and closings in 3 to 14 days. Every one of those is published, not negotiated in the dark.
Every Arkansas file gets a full term sheet up front: rate, leverage, term, points and conditions, in writing, before third-party costs are incurred.
| 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.

Banks in the river valley underwrite you. We underwrite the building. That difference decides who wins a Pulaski County property with other offers stacked behind it. Bridge loans from 9.00%, up to 75% LTV, minimal documentation, no prepayment penalty, and a closing calendar measured in days rather than months. Once the rehab is finished, sell or refinance on your own schedule and pay nothing for the privilege.
Match the program to the play. Fix and flip for a Little Rock renovation, construction loans for Springdale infill, rental property DSCR for the Jonesboro buy-and-hold, commercial for a Fort Smith building with tenants already in it, blanket loans when your Arkansas doors are spread across several counties. Second and third mortgages release equity from what you hold today. Business purpose bridge runs to $25,000,000 if a deal ever gets there.

ARKANSAS 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 investor property across Arkansas, including Little Rock, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Springdale and Jonesboro. We are a veteran-owned direct private lender headquartered in San Diego, and we have closed more than 1.3K loans since 2022. Bridge, fix and flip, construction, rental property DSCR and commercial are all available in the state. Call (619) 617-2797 and you will reach someone who can price the deal.
-
Houses and small multifamily serving University of Arkansas students in Washington County are rental property deals, and our DSCR program underwrites them on the asset and its income. If a unit needs work before the lease cycle opens, bridge financing covers the purchase and the rehab first. Springdale and Rogers investors run the same play, and we lend on all of it.
-
Speed is the point here. A clean bridge file closes in five to seven days, sometimes three. Pulaski County flips often come out of estates and auctions where the seller wants certainty above everything, so proof of funds from a direct lender carries real weight. Send the address, the purchase price, the scope and the exit strategy, and terms follow the same day.
-
Small multifamily in Craighead and Sebastian counties fits both our rental property and commercial programs, depending on the unit count and how the asset is held. Value-add buildings that need units turned before anyone can lease them usually start as a bridge loan, then move into long-term rental financing. Blanket loans consolidate several buildings under a single facility when the portfolio grows.
-
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.
Bridge loan terms -
No prepayment penalty on the bridge programs. Pay the loan off the day the flip sells or the refinance funds and you owe interest for the days you used the money. That matters when the whole plan is to be in and out inside a year.
All loan programs -
Five to seven days is the standard, and low-doc bridge deals have closed in as little as three. Speed comes from the structure, not from cutting corners: in-house capital, one decision maker and minimal documentation. Title and escrow set the floor, so the sooner those are opened, the sooner the wire moves.
