Lakewood is the archetypal post-war American suburb, built almost all at once in the early 1950s around one of the country's first regional malls, and still overwhelmingly single-family.
Loan Goat funds Lakewood deals the way it funds Colorado deals generally, on the asset. Jefferson County is the working radius, and the same terms extend to Denver, Arvada and Westminster when the next opportunity lands one town over.
The whole point of a private lender is that the deal decides the answer. On Lakewood property that means value, exit and plan, reviewed by the same desk that releases the funds. Veteran-owned, in business since 2022, 1.3K+ loans closed.
© THE COST LAKEWOOD · CO
WHAT DO LAKEWOOD HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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.
Those numbers are the ceiling and the floor. A Lakewood deal gets priced inside them once the property and the exit are on the table, usually the same day the file is opened.

Certainty is the product. A Lakewood 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.
Early 1950s tract homes on uniform lots, a small amount of multi-family, and retail at Lakewood Center. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Cosmetic renovation on the uniform stock, ADUs on the regular lots, and family-buyer exits. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.
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 LAKEWOOD
Most lenders compete on one line of that table. This one is built to hold every line at once, which is why a Lakewood 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.

LAKEWOOD 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 Lakewood and across Jefferson 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Jefferson County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Lakewood asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Many are, because the 1950s tracts have regular rectangular rear yards with straightforward access, which is the easiest configuration for a detached unit. We fund purchase and construction on one loan with draws against the work.
-
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.
