Highland Park is a northeast neighbourhood along the Arroyo Seco with one of the city's best-preserved Craftsman housing stocks, a historic district and a commercial strip on York and Figueroa.
Highland Park is one of the California markets Loan Goat lends in year round. Los Angeles County files and deals in Eagle Rock, Echo Park and South Pasadena are underwritten identically, on value, exit and the plan for the property.
Loan Goat is a direct private lender, not a broker, headquartered in San Diego and funding across 46 states. A Highland Park 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 HIGHLAND PARK · CA
WHAT DO HIGHLAND PARK HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Highland Park 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 Highland Park 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 Highland Park address and what you intend to do with it and the quote comes back with the exact rate, leverage and term for that deal.

Banks underwrite the borrower. Loan Goat underwrites the property. On a Highland Park deal that means a self-employed investor, a recently formed LLC or a file with a complication on it is not automatically dead. The asset, the leverage and the exit carry the decision, and the answer comes back in hours instead of a month.
Craftsman bungalows and Victorians, some inside historic preservation zones, small multi-family, and York Boulevard commercial. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Craftsman renovation, ADUs on the deep lots, small multi-family, and commercial bridge. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

HIGHLAND PARK 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 Highland Park and across Los Angeles 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 Highland Park 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 Highland Park 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 Los Angeles County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Highland Park asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
A Historic Preservation Overlay Zone adds design review on anything visible from the street, and Highland Park has one. Interior work is usually unaffected. Confirm whether your parcel is inside the zone before you budget the exterior scope.
-
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.
