Grand Rapids is West Michigan's economic engine and the seat of Kent County, built around the Grand River and the Michigan Street medical corridor. Heritage Hill, Eastown, East Hills and Creston carry the renovation demand, while Wealthy Street keeps pulling small commercial. Money follows the hospitals, the furniture trade and a downtown that actually fills on weeknights.
Loan Goat funds Grand Rapids deals the way it funds Michigan deals generally, on the asset. Kent County is the working radius, and the same terms extend to Lansing, Ann Arbor and Sterling Heights when the next opportunity lands one town over.
Loan Goat is a direct private lender, not a broker, headquartered in San Diego and funding across 46 states. A Grand Rapids 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 GRAND RAPIDS · MI
WHAT DO GRAND RAPIDS HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Grand Rapids 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 Grand Rapids 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 Grand Rapids 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 Rapids 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.
Victorians and American four-squares through Heritage Hill, 1920s craftsman bungalows across the east side, modest post-war ranches on the outer ring, and walk-up brick apartment buildings near the core. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Renovation flips in Creston and Eastown move quickly, and mid-term furnished rentals aimed at the Medical Mile hold well between them. Small multifamily near the Grand Valley State downtown campus is the steadier buy-and-hold. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

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

© QUESTIONS GRAND RAPIDS · MI
GRAND RAPIDS 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 Rapids 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 Grand Rapids 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 Rapids 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 Grand Rapids asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Minimal documentation. Loan Goat underwrites the Grand Rapids property, the rehab budget and the exit, not your pay stubs, and Kent County flips are funded from San Diego with in-house capital. Fix-and-flip money closes in five to seven days, bridge starts at 9.00%, and nothing charges you a penalty for paying it off the day the house sells.
-
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.
How funding works -
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.
