Loan Goat lends across Michigan, funding investors in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, Ann Arbor and Lansing. Most borrowers here are buying brick bungalows to rehab, small multifamily to hold, or commercial space that needs a new use. Bridge loans, fix and flip, construction, rental property DSCR, commercial, blanket loans and second and third mortgages are all on the table for a Michigan deal.
Michigan still gives an investor room to operate. Wayne County rehab stock prices low enough to leave margin in the deal, and Detroit neighborhoods such as Corktown and Boston-Edison have serious buyers again. Macomb County's Warren and Sterling Heights are postwar ranch and brick tract homes that rent without drama. Grand Rapids drives the west side of the state. Ann Arbor and Lansing run on universities and government.
Loan Goat lends in Michigan out of its San Diego, California headquarters, and that is the only office there is. Nobody has to drive to a branch. The file is read by the person with authority to fund it, backed by in-house capital, and closed in five to seven days. An address in Kent County or Ingham County gets the same process and the same answer speed.
Detroit is the rehab engine: brick bungalows and American Foursquares across Wayne County, plus historic stock in Indian Village and Boston-Edison for buyers with a vision and a budget. Macomb County's Warren and Sterling Heights are steady buy-and-hold near the auto supplier corridor. Grand Rapids trades Heritage Hill Victorians and Wealthy Street infill. Ann Arbor lives on University of Michigan housing demand, while Lansing rents to the capitol.

WHAT DO MICHIGAN HARD MONEY LOANS COST
A Michigan quote is built from the deal, not from the state. Bridge from 9.00% and up to 75% LTV on residential, 70% on commercial, one or two year terms and closings in 3 to 14 days. Every one of those is published, not negotiated in the dark.
Every Michigan file gets a full term sheet up front: rate, leverage, term, points and conditions, in writing, before third-party costs are incurred.
| 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.

Small balance deals are where banks lose interest and where Michigan investors make a living. A Warren bungalow or a Detroit duplex is often too small for institutional attention and perfect for a private lender. Our bridge loans start at 9.00% and reach 75% LTV, and fix and flip pairs purchase money with a rehab budget when speed beats paperwork.
Michigan portfolios get built on the back end. Rental property DSCR loans take a leased Grand Rapids duplex or an Ann Arbor student house to permanent debt sized on rent, not on tax returns. Blanket loans hold a dozen Macomb County addresses under one note. Second and third mortgages release equity from a Lansing property you refuse to refinance. Nothing we write carries a prepayment penalty.

© QUESTIONS SAN DIEGO HQ · MICHIGAN
MICHIGAN HARD MONEY LOANS, ANSWERED
Straight answers to what borrowers ask before they call. Questions we answer elsewhere link to the page that owns them.
-
Michigan is inside our lending area, covering Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights, Ann Arbor and Lansing. Loans are business-purpose and secured by non-owner-occupied real estate, funded with in-house capital by a direct lender. That structure keeps a normal closing at five to seven days and the document list short, because the property and the exit strategy carry the underwriting rather than your personal file.
-
Wayne County rehabs are everyday business for us, block by block. We underwrite the property, its condition and its after-repair value, so a bungalow that needs a full renovation is a candidate rather than an automatic decline. Fix and flip money funds the purchase and the work together, and bridge financing covers the acquisition when you need to close before another buyer does.
-
Macomb County rentals fit the rental property DSCR program cleanly, since postwar ranch and brick tract homes in Warren and Sterling Heights lease reliably and qualify on that income. No tax returns drive the decision. Blanket loans let you hold a group of them under one note, and with no prepayment penalty you are free to sell a door whenever the numbers say to.
-
Washtenaw County student rentals are financeable through our bridge and rental property DSCR programs, including houses and small multifamily within walking distance of campus. The loan is sized against the property and its rent roll. If the house needs updating before the leasing season, fix and flip money covers the renovation and the DSCR loan takes over once the units are occupied.
-
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.
