Bell is one of the smallest and densest of the southeast cities, on the Los Angeles River beside Cudahy and Maywood, with older housing and a high rental share.
Every program on this site is available on Bell property and across Los Angeles County. Investors who also buy in Bell Gardens, Maywood and Cudahy run those deals through the same desk, which is the point: one lender who already knows the borrower, the entity and the exit strategy.
A Bell investor gets a direct line to the lender. No intake team, no file handed down a chain, no bank underwriter three weeks out. Written terms come first, then title and escrow, then the wire, usually inside five to seven days.

WHAT DO BELL HARD MONEY LOANS COST
What a Bell hard money loan costs comes down to four things: the leverage, the property, the exit and how much documentation you want to hand over. Bridge money runs from 9.00% to 13.00%, with leverage up to 75% on residential and 70% on commercial, on one or two year terms.
Terms arrive in writing first. That is deliberate: a Bell borrower should be able to underwrite the lender before spending a dollar on third-party reports. Bridge loans carry no prepayment penalty, so paying off early costs nothing but the days you used.
| 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 a Bell 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.

The reason investors move a Bell file to a private lender is time. A bank takes thirty to sixty days and asks for two years of returns. This desk takes five to seven days and asks for the address, the price and the plan. In a market where the seller has other offers, that is the whole deal.
Pre-war and post-war single-family, duplexes and small apartment buildings, and light industrial near the river. Every one of those property types is on the eligible list.
Small multi-family value-add, renovation, and rental holds. Whichever of those plays is on the table, there is a program written for it.
THE PROCESS
- Complete your application
- Submit required documentation
- Sign your Letter of Intent
- We process and close your loan in 5-7 days

HOW WE LEND IN BELL
Most lenders compete on one line of that table. This one is built to hold every line at once, which is why a Bell 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.

BELL 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 Bell 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 Bell 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 a Bell 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 Bell asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Not to an investor. Bell, Cudahy, Maywood and Bell Gardens each have their own permitting, their own stock and their own price levels even though they run together on a map. We lend in all of them and underwrite each property on its own comparables.
-
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.
How funding works -
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 -
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 -
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.
