Encanto is a group of south-eastern San Diego neighborhoods on the canyon-cut hills above the 94, with post-war housing, large lots by city standards and the lowest entry prices inside the city limits.
Loan Goat funds Encanto deals the way it funds California deals generally, on the asset. San Diego County is the working radius, and the same terms extend to Lemon Grove, Spring Valley and Barrio Logan when the next opportunity lands one town over.
Being headquartered in San Diego is an advantage on an Encanto 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 ENCANTO · CA
WHAT DO ENCANTO HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing an Encanto deal is straightforward. Bridge runs from 9.00% to 13.00% and moves with leverage and risk. Ask for more of the purchase price and the rate moves up; bring a stronger exit and it moves down. Residential bridge goes to 75% LTV and commercial to 70%.
Every quote is written before an appraisal is ordered, so an Encanto investor knows the rate, the leverage, the term and the fees while there is still time to walk. No prepayment penalty on the bridge programs means a flip that sells in four months costs four months of interest, not twelve.
| 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 numbers are the ceiling and the floor. An Encanto deal gets priced inside them once the property and the exit are on the table, usually the same day the file is opened.

Certainty is the product. An Encanto borrower gets written terms, in-house capital and one person who can say yes. Nothing is sold to a warehouse line mid-process and nothing is re-priced at the closing table, which is why the review record reads 5.0 across 150+ reviews.
Post-war and 1950s single-family on generous lots, canyon-edge parcels, small multi-family, and neighborhood commercial on Imperial Avenue. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
Renovation, ADUs on the larger lots, and buy-and-hold rentals at the city's most accessible price point. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

HOW WE LEND IN ENCANTO
The comparison is the operating rulebook: high leverage, speed to close, capital that is actually there, low documentation, in-house processing and a rate the deal earns. When a bank says no on an Encanto file, this desk looks at the property. When the deal does not pencil, you hear it before the appraisal is ordered.

ENCANTO 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 Encanto and across San Diego 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 Encanto 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 an Encanto 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 San Diego County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Encanto asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Price and lot size. It is one of the last parts of the city where an investor can buy a detached house on a real lot at an entry price, which makes both renovation and an added second unit pencil. The exit is a local owner-occupier or a long-term rental.
-
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.
Bridge loan terms -
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.
