HARD MONEY LENDER DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Yes, Loan Goat funds investor real estate throughout Washington, DC, in every quadrant of the city. We are a veteran-owned direct private lender based in San Diego, using in-house capital, with a 5.0 Google rating from more than 150 reviews. Bridge, fix and flip, construction, rental property DSCR, commercial and blanket loans are all available. Call (619) 617-2797 for terms on your District deal.

Rowhouse gut renovations in Washington are a natural fit for bridge financing rolling into construction draws. We underwrite the property and its finished value rather than your income documents, which keeps the approval short and predictable. Send the address, the scope, the budget and the exit, and terms come back the same day. Vacant and unfinished buildings are welcome rather than disqualifying.

Anacostia, Congress Heights and the surrounding Washington neighborhoods are open on the same terms as anywhere else in the District. We lend on the property and the plan, so a value-add building with empty units is workable instead of disqualifying. Bridge financing handles the purchase and renovation, and rental property DSCR takes over once those units are leased and producing.

Student and staff rentals near Howard University, Georgetown University and George Washington University underwrite as rental property, and our DSCR program leans on the lease rather than your tax returns. English basement units and converted flats count toward the income. If the building needs work before it can be rented, a bridge loan covers purchase and rehab, then refinances penalty free.

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.

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.

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.

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.
