Grand Forks sits on the Red River across from East Grand Forks, with the University of North Dakota and the air base giving it two independent sources of tenant demand. The DeMers Avenue spine holds downtown, the streets near campus hold the rental houses, and Grand Forks County stays approachable for a first investment.
Grand Forks sits in Grand Forks County, North Dakota, and Loan Goat lends on investment property across the whole of it. The same programs run in Fargo, Bismarck and Minot, 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.
The whole point of a private lender is that the deal decides the answer. On Grand Forks property that means value, exit and plan, reviewed by the same desk that releases the funds. Veteran-owned, in business since 2022, 1.3K+ loans closed.
© THE COST GRAND FORKS · ND
WHAT DO GRAND FORKS HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing a Grand Forks 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 a Grand Forks 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.
The ranges above are what is actually available. Send the Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks 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.
Pre-war frame houses near the university, post-war ranches on flat lots, newer construction in areas reshaped after the flood years, and small apartment buildings serving the student population. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
University rentals are the core trade, supported by holds aimed at base-connected tenants who rent rather than buy. Small multifamily builds scale quickly, and light flips work on older houses close to campus. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

GRAND FORKS 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 Grand Forks and across Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Grand Forks asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Bridge money buys and renovates it, then a DSCR rental loan holds it. Loan Goat funds both on investment property in Grand Forks and across Grand Forks County, including houses near the University of North Dakota leased by the room. Approval depends on the property and the rent roll, documentation stays minimal, and early payoff carries no penalty.
-
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 -
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.
