HARD MONEY LENDER AUGUSTA

Yes. Loan Goat funds investment property in Augusta and across Richmond 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 Augusta files are underwritten on the property rather than on where the borrower banks.

Five to seven days is standard and low-doc bridge files have funded in as little as three. The timeline on an Augusta 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.

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 Richmond County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Augusta asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.

Yes, a short-term rental in Augusta qualifies as business-purpose collateral. Loan Goat funds the purchase or renovation with a bridge loan and the long-term hold with a DSCR rental loan, on Richmond County property, underwritten on the asset instead of your personal returns. Closings run five to seven days, which matters when a seasonal window is coming.

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.

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.

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.

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.
