Killeen exists around Fort Cavazos, one of the largest military installations in the country, and that single fact organizes the entire market. Bell County rental demand refreshes constantly as units rotate through, with Harker Heights and Copperas Cove absorbing the overflow. A Central Texas location puts the city within reach of both Austin and Waco.
Killeen is one of the Texas markets Loan Goat lends in year round. Bell County files and deals in Round Rock, Waco and Austin 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 Killeen 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 KILLEEN · TX
WHAT DO KILLEEN HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Killeen 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 Killeen 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 Killeen 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 Killeen 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.
Mostly 1980s through 2000s tract housing sized for families, an unusually deep supply of duplexes and fourplexes built specifically for military tenants, and newer subdivisions extending south and west of the post. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Buy-and-hold aimed at military tenants is the whole Killeen thesis, and turnover is a feature rather than a problem. Small multifamily is abundant, and light rehab between tenancies keeps a property competitive without a full renovation. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

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

KILLEEN 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 Killeen and across Bell 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 Killeen 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 Killeen 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 Bell County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Killeen asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
A Killeen fourplex is a straightforward hard money file. Loan Goat funds small multifamily across Bell County on the strength of the asset and its rents, with bridge for the purchase and any rehab, then a DSCR rental loan once it stabilizes. Blanket loans cover several buildings on one file. Underwriting is property-first, so self-employed income is not a roadblock.
-
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.
Bridge loan terms -
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.
