Palm Bay occupies the southern end of Brevard County on the Space Coast, just below Melbourne and inside commuting range of the aerospace employers up the coast. It was platted at enormous scale decades ago, so the city is a grid of quarter-acre lots filling in gradually. Investors buy the lots and the older sections.
Investment property in Palm Bay qualifies under every program listed here, and so does property in Port St. Lucie, Orlando and Lakeland. Brevard County is one line on a term sheet, not a separate approval process.
Nothing about a Palm Bay address slows the process down. Terms are written from the property, title and escrow are opened locally, and the money moves from San Diego. 1.3K+ closed loans since 2022 and $1.5B+ funded across 46 states is what that machine has produced so far.
© THE COST PALM BAY · FL
WHAT DO PALM BAY HARD MONEY LOANS COST
What a Palm Bay 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 Palm Bay 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 Palm Bay 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.

Working with a direct lender on a Palm Bay deal removes the layers. There is no broker marking up the file, no correspondent shopping it and no investor behind the investor. One lender, its own capital, one set of terms.
Modest concrete block and frame single-family from the 1980s and 90s, newer stucco homes through Bayside Lakes and the southern sections, scattered duplexes, and a very large supply of vacant platted lots. Every one of those property types is on the eligible list.
Infill construction on cheap platted lots and build-to-rent are the defining plays. Buy-and-hold rentals suit the aerospace and service tenant base, and light rehab of 1980s block homes resells to first-time buyers. Whichever of those plays is on the table, there is a program written for it.

© QUESTIONS PALM BAY · FL
PALM BAY 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 Palm Bay and across Brevard 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 Palm Bay 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 Palm Bay 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 Brevard County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Palm Bay asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Yes, spec construction in Palm Bay is a business-purpose build and fits the construction program. Loan Goat funds ground-up projects on Brevard County infill lots, works from in-house capital, and answers with one decision maker instead of a committee. Once the finished house sells, you pay the loan off with no prepayment penalty attached.
-
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 -
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 -
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.
