Miami-Dade County's north end holds Miami Gardens, a city organized around Hard Rock Stadium and the Palmetto and State Road 7 corridors. Neighborhoods such as Carol City, Norland, Andover and Bunche Park supply most of the residential trades. Capital comes for working-family rental demand inside Miami-Dade at an entry point the coastal cities no longer offer.
Miami Gardens sits in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and Loan Goat lends on investment property across the whole of it. The same programs run in Miramar, Pembroke Pines and Hialeah, so an investor working a corridor rather than a single ZIP code keeps one lender, one quote format and one set of terms across every file.
The whole point of a private lender is that the deal decides the answer. On Miami Gardens 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 MIAMI GARDENS · FL
WHAT DO MIAMI GARDENS HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Miami Gardens 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 Miami Gardens 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 Miami Gardens 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 Miami Gardens 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.
Postwar concrete block single-family on modest lots, duplexes and small CBS rental buildings, older garden apartment courts, plus light industrial and commercial frontage along the main arteries. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Rental acquisition and BRRRR define this market: buy a block house, rehab it, lease it, refinance. Duplex and small multifamily hold well, and commercial storefronts on the corridors sell to owner-operators. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

© QUESTIONS MIAMI GARDENS · FL
MIAMI GARDENS 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 Miami Gardens and across Miami-Dade 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 Miami Gardens 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 Miami Gardens 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 Miami-Dade County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Miami Gardens asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
The property and a credible plan, mostly. Loan Goat funds purchase and rehab on Miami Gardens houses with a bridge loan, then a DSCR rental loan takes it out once the unit is leased, which is the whole BRRRR cycle inside Miami-Dade County. No loan committee reviews it, and no prepayment penalty punishes the refinance.
-
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.
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.
