Highland sits against the foothills north-east of San Bernardino, a mostly residential city with a casino, older citrus-era pockets and newer tracts climbing toward the mountains.
Investment property in Highland qualifies under every program listed here, and so does property in San Bernardino, Redlands and Yucaipa. San Bernardino County is one line on a term sheet, not a separate approval process.
Nothing about a Highland address slows the process down. Terms are written from the property, title and escrow are opened locally, and the money moves from San Diego. 1.3K+ closed loans since 2022 and $1.5B+ funded across 46 states is what that machine has produced so far.
© THE COST HIGHLAND · CA
WHAT DO HIGHLAND HARD MONEY LOANS COST
What a Highland hard money loan costs comes down to four things: the leverage, the property, the exit and how much documentation you want to hand over. Bridge money runs from 9.00% to 13.00%, with leverage up to 75% on residential and 70% on commercial, on one or two year terms.
Terms arrive in writing first. That is deliberate: a Highland borrower should be able to underwrite the lender before spending a dollar on third-party reports. Bridge loans carry no prepayment penalty, so paying off early costs nothing but the days you used.
| 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 Highland 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.

Working with a direct lender on a Highland deal removes the layers. There is no broker marking up the file, no correspondent shopping it and no investor behind the investor. One lender, its own capital, one set of terms.
Post-war single-family, newer foothill tracts, some older citrus-era homes, and neighbourhood commercial. Every one of those property types is on the eligible list.
Tract renovation, foothill property, and rental holds. Whichever of those plays is on the table, there is a program written for it.
THE PROCESS
- Complete your application
- Submit required documentation
- Sign your Letter of Intent
- We process and close your loan in 5-7 days

HOW WE LEND IN HIGHLAND
Read the table as a promise rather than a pitch. On a Highland deal it means the leverage quoted is the leverage funded, the timeline quoted is the timeline delivered, and the person who priced the file is the person who releases the money.

HIGHLAND 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 and across San Bernardino 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 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 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 San Bernardino County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Highland asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Above a certain elevation it can, because of fire exposure. Insurability affects value and resale, so on the upper tracts we will ask what cover is available before quoting.
-
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 -
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 -
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 -
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.
