Aurora is the second largest city in Illinois, straddling the Fox River west of Chicago beside Naperville, with the DuPage and Kane county line running through it. The historic downtown and older east side hold the rental stock, while the far edges carry newer subdivisions. Logistics along the I-88 corridor keeps the working tenant base employed.
Aurora sits in DuPage County, Illinois, and Loan Goat lends on investment property across the whole of it. The same programs run in Naperville, Elgin and Joliet, 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.
Being headquartered in San Diego is an advantage on an Aurora deal, not a limitation. The capital is in house, the underwriting is done by the people who fund the loan, and the answer comes back in hours. A 5.0 Google rating across 150+ reviews is the record on delivering that.

WHAT DO AURORA HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing an Aurora 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 Aurora 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.
The ranges above are what is actually available. Send the Aurora address and what you intend to do with it and the quote comes back with the exact rate, leverage and term for that deal.

Banks underwrite the borrower. Loan Goat underwrites the property. On an Aurora deal that means a self-employed investor, a recently formed LLC or a file with a complication on it is not automatically dead. The asset, the leverage and the exit carry the decision, and the answer comes back in hours instead of a month.
Late-1800s frame and brick houses near the river, foursquares and bungalows across the older grid, duplexes and small apartment buildings downtown, plus 1990s and 2000s subdivision homes further out. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
Buy-and-hold rentals on the older east side produce the cash flow, and small multifamily near downtown holds well. Rehabbed century-old houses sell to owner occupants, while newer subdivision homes work as build-to-rent style holds. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

HOW WE LEND IN AURORA
Most lenders compete on one line of that table. This one is built to hold every line at once, which is why an Aurora borrower gets leverage and speed in the same quote rather than trading one for the other. If the numbers do not work, you are told early and directly.

AURORA 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 Aurora and across DuPage 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 Aurora 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 Aurora 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 DuPage County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Aurora asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Yes, particularly when the property needs work before it can be leased. Loan Goat funds Aurora acquisitions on bridge terms, then moves you into a DSCR rental loan once tenants are in place, on property across DuPage County and the surrounding area. Underwriting follows the asset, so minimal documentation and a five to seven day close are normal.
-
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.
