Brea sits in the hills at the county's northern edge, an old oil town that rebuilt itself around Brea Mall and a downtown district, with newer hillside tracts above the older grid.
Loan Goat funds Brea deals the way it funds California deals generally, on the asset. Orange County is the working radius, and the same terms extend to Fullerton, Placentia and Yorba Linda when the next opportunity lands one town over.
Loan Goat is a direct private lender, not a broker, headquartered in San Diego and funding across 46 states. A Brea borrower deals with the lender itself, not a broker shopping the file, which is the difference between a quote you can act on and a quote that needs a second opinion.
© THE COST BREA · CA
WHAT DO BREA HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Brea file is a function of the deal, not the market. Bridge opens at 9.00%. Residential runs to 75% LTV and commercial to 70%, on one or two year terms, and a clean file closes in 3 to 14 days.
The written quote comes before the appraisal, and it holds. For a Brea deal on a clock, that is the difference between a real number and an indication. Prepay is free on the bridge programs, which matters when the plan is to be out inside a year.
| 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 Brea 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 Brea 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.
Post-war single-family in the flats, 1990s and 2000s hillside tracts, townhomes downtown, and retail and office around the mall. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Flats renovation, hillside holds, and retail or office bridge. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

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

BREA 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 Brea and across Orange 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 Brea 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 Brea 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 Orange County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Brea asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
The older flats, because the stock is dated and the comparable sales are tight. The hillside tracts are newer and higher priced, which makes them better as holds than as renovation projects.
-
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.
How funding works -
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.
