La Palma is the county's smallest city by area, a quiet 1960s and 1970s residential pocket on the Los Angeles County line with almost no turnover and a strong school reputation.
Every program on this site is available on La Palma property and across Orange County. Investors who also buy in Cypress, Buena Park and Cerritos run those deals through the same desk, which is the point: one lender who already knows the borrower, the entity and the exit strategy.
The desk is in San Diego, the capital is in house and the decision is made by one person. That is why a La Palma file can go from a phone call to written terms the same day and to a wire in five to seven days. There is no branch to visit and no committee sitting between the deal and the money.
© THE COST LA PALMA · CA
WHAT DO LA PALMA HARD MONEY LOANS COST
What a La Palma 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 La Palma 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 La Palma 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.

Most La Palma investors arrive here after a bank fell through late. What they get instead is a lender with its own money, minimal documentation, no loan committee and no prepayment penalty. 1.3K+ closed loans since 2022 is the reason the timeline holds.
1960s and 1970s single-family tracts, a small amount of attached housing, and a modest commercial strip. Every one of those property types is on the eligible list.
Cosmetic renovation with a family-buyer exit, and long-term rental holds. Whichever of those plays is on the table, there is a program written for it.

HOW WE LEND IN LA PALMA
The comparison is the operating rulebook: high leverage, speed to close, capital that is actually there, low documentation, in-house processing and a rate the deal earns. When a bank says no on a La Palma file, this desk looks at the property. When the deal does not pencil, you hear it before the appraisal is ordered.

LA PALMA 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 La Palma and across Orange 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 La Palma 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 La Palma 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 Orange County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the La Palma asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Not much, so speed decides it. Few houses trade here and the good ones draw several offers, which is when a five to seven day close and no financing contingency is worth more than another few thousand on the price.
-
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.
All loan programs -
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 -
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.
