Fort Collins sits at the northern end of the Front Range against the foothills, built around Colorado State University and the Poudre River. Old Town is the commercial and cultural anchor, the campus neighborhoods absorb student demand, and the Harmony Road corridor carries the newer residential and employment growth. Investors buy a university town with a real economy.
Fort Collins sits in Larimer County, Colorado, and Loan Goat lends on investment property across the whole of it. The same programs run in Boulder, Thornton and Westminster, so an investor working a corridor rather than a single ZIP code keeps one lender, one quote format and one set of terms across every file.
Loan Goat is a direct private lender, not a broker, headquartered in San Diego and funding across 46 states. A Fort Collins 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 FORT COLLINS · CO
WHAT DO FORT COLLINS HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins 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.
The ranges above are what is actually available. Send the Fort Collins address and what you intend to do with it and the quote comes back with the exact rate, leverage and term for that deal.

A private lender earns its rate by being fast and being sure. On Fort Collins 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.
Late 1800s and early 1900s brick and frame houses around Old Town, postwar ranch in the central neighborhoods, purpose built student apartment blocks near campus, and 1990s forward subdivisions spreading south. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Student housing near Colorado State is the defining trade, whether by the room or by the unit. Old Town character homes reward a careful renovation, southern subdivisions support long term family rentals, and small infill projects fill the gaps. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

HOW WE LEND IN FORT COLLINS
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 a Fort Collins file, this desk looks at the property. When the deal does not pencil, you hear it before the appraisal is ordered.

FORT COLLINS 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 Fort Collins and across Larimer 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 Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins 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 Larimer County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Fort Collins asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Most use a bridge loan to acquire and renovate, then a DSCR rental loan to hold. Loan Goat funds both in Fort Collins and throughout Larimer County, qualifying on the property and its rent rather than personal income. Student rentals often carry unusual lease structures, and asset based underwriting handles that better than a conventional bank file.
-
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.
