Great Falls sits on the Missouri River in Cascade County, built around the falls that gave it the name and around Malmstrom Air Force Base on the east side. Central Avenue downtown and the older residential grid hold the historic stock, while the west side carries newer subdivisions. The base and a regional medical and agricultural economy keep the tenant base steady.
Great Falls is one of the Montana markets Loan Goat lends in year round. Cascade County files and deals in Bozeman, Missoula and Billings are underwritten identically, on value, exit and the plan for the property.
Being headquartered in San Diego is an advantage on a Great Falls 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 GREAT FALLS · MT
WHAT DO GREAT FALLS HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing a Great Falls 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 Great Falls 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 are the published ranges, not a teaser. Where a Great Falls 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.

Certainty is the product. A Great Falls 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.
Pre-war frame and brick houses through the older neighborhoods, post-war ranches and bungalows filling most of the city, modest duplexes and fourplexes, and older brick commercial buildings along Central Avenue. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
Long-term rentals serving Malmstrom families and hospital staff are the dependable position. Light rehab and resale works on tired post-war stock, and small multifamily gives investors a manageable way to add doors without leaving the neighborhood. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

HOW WE LEND IN GREAT FALLS

© QUESTIONS GREAT FALLS · MT
GREAT FALLS 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 Great Falls and across Cascade 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 Great Falls 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 Great Falls 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 Cascade County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Great Falls asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Yes, rental property loans are one of nine Loan Goat programs and Great Falls qualifies like anywhere else. We lend into Cascade County from San Diego on business-purpose, non-owner-occupied property, sizing the loan off the asset and its rent rather than your personal documents. Expect minimal paperwork, a five to seven day close and no prepayment 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.
