Cape Coral sits across the Caloosahatchee from Fort Myers in Lee County, a canal city carrying more platted lots than almost anywhere in Florida. Investors work the Gulf-access waterfront in the southwest, the freshwater canals mid-Cape, and the wide-open northeast quadrant where new homes keep going vertical block by block.
Investment property in Cape Coral qualifies under every program listed here, and so does property in St. Petersburg, Tampa and Lakeland. Lee County is one line on a term sheet, not a separate approval process.
The desk is in San Diego, the capital is in house and the decision is made by one person. That is why a Cape Coral file can go from a phone call to written terms the same day and to a wire in five to seven days. There is no branch to visit and no committee sitting between the deal and the money.

WHAT DO CAPE CORAL HARD MONEY LOANS COST
There is no Cape Coral rate sheet separate from the national one. Bridge from 9.00%, up to 75% LTV on residential, one or two year terms, and loans from $150,000 to $25,000,000 on business purpose files. The property and the exit set the number, not the ZIP code.
A Cape Coral file gets a full written term sheet up front: rate, leverage, term, points and conditions. Nothing gets re-traded at the table. No prepayment penalty on bridge, minimal documentation, and funding in five to seven days.
| 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 Cape Coral 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 Cape Coral file to a private lender is time. A bank takes thirty to sixty days and asks for two years of returns. This desk takes days rather than weeks and asks for the address, the price and the plan. In a market where the seller has other offers, that is the whole deal.
Concrete block and stucco single-family on canal or dry lots, 1970s through 2000s vintage, plus duplexes in the multifamily-zoned pockets and thousands of vacant lots still waiting on a foundation. All of it is financeable, purchase, refinance or cash-out.
Spec building and build-to-rent dominate the north Cape. Gulf-access homes serve the vacation rental market, while duplex buy-and-hold and post-storm renovation resale keep the middle of the market moving. Bridge for the buy, construction for the build, DSCR for the hold: the same three doors most of these plays run through.

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

© QUESTIONS CAPE CORAL · FL
CAPE CORAL 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 Cape Coral and across Lee 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 Cape Coral 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 Cape Coral 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 Lee County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Cape Coral asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Yes. Gulf-access and vacation rental property in Cape Coral is business-purpose lending, which is the core of what Loan Goat funds throughout Lee County. A DSCR rental loan looks at what the house earns, a bridge loan covers the renovation window, and either one closes in five to seven days with minimal documentation.
-
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.
Request a quote -
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.
Property types -
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.
