Dover carries three separate demand drivers in one small capital city: state government, Dover Air Force Base, and Delaware State University. The historic Green and Loockerman Street anchor the old center, the newer residential growth pushes out toward the highway, and Kent County farmland starts almost immediately past the edge. Tenant demand stays broad.
Loan Goat funds Dover deals the way it funds Delaware deals generally, on the asset. Kent County is the working radius, and the same terms extend to Wilmington, Philadelphia and Baltimore when the next opportunity lands one town over.
Being headquartered in San Diego is an advantage on a Dover 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.
© THE COST DOVER · DE
WHAT DO DOVER HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Dover 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 Dover 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 Dover 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.

Banks underwrite the borrower. Loan Goat underwrites the property. On a Dover 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.
Colonial and Victorian houses around the historic core, postwar ranch through the middle neighborhoods, later subdivisions on the outskirts, and manufactured housing scattered across the surrounding county. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Military households and state employees make long term single family holds dependable. Rooms and units near Delaware State lease to students, older central houses flip with modest budgets, and small multifamily near downtown suits investors who want a manageable first commercial deal. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

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

DOVER 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 Dover and across Kent 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 Dover 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 Dover 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 Kent County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Dover asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Yes. Dover and the rest of Kent County are open across every program: bridge, fix and flip, DSCR rental, construction, commercial and blanket loans. Loan Goat is veteran owned and lends nationwide from San Diego, underwriting the property rather than the borrower. Expect minimal documentation, no prepayment penalty and a close in five to seven days.
-
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 -
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 -
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.
