Loan Goat lends across Pennsylvania, funding investors in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie and Reading. Rowhouse rehabbers, small multifamily buyers and landlords stacking doors all come through the same door here. We are a direct private lender doing business purpose, non-owner-occupied deals, and we underwrite the building instead of grading your personal file. If the numbers work on the asset, you have a lender.
Pennsylvania is several markets stitched together. Philadelphia sits at the eastern edge with block after block of brick rowhomes. Pittsburgh holds the west, frame and brick stock climbing hillsides above the rivers. Between them the Lehigh Valley around Allentown has turned into a logistics belt, Reading works its older industrial core, and Erie faces the lake with affordable frame duplexes and durable tenant demand.
We lend in Pennsylvania from a desk in San Diego. Nobody is driving out to meet you in Berks County, and nobody needs to. The capital is ours, underwriting happens in house, and a single decision maker approves the file. A Pittsburgh investor calls, sends the address and the scope, and gets terms the same way a borrower down the street from our office does. Closings run 5 to 7 days.
Philadelphia rehabbers grind through Kensington, Point Breeze, Brewerytown and Fishtown, where the narrow rowhome is the base unit of the trade. University City and the blocks around Temple stay student heavy. Pittsburgh investors work Lawrenceville, Bloomfield and the South Side slopes, with hospital and university payrolls anchoring rents. Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton draw warehouse labor, Reading carries brick duplexes, and Erie leans on Gannon University and Presque Isle traffic.

© THE COST SAN DIEGO HQ · PENNSYLVANIA
WHAT DO PENNSYLVANIA HARD MONEY LOANS COST
There is no separate Pennsylvania rate sheet. Bridge opens at 9.00%, terms run one or two years, and a minimum 650 credit score applies. What moves the number is the property, the leverage and how the loan gets paid back.
Terms are written before an appraisal is ordered, which lets a Pennsylvania investor underwrite the lender before spending money on third-party reports. Nothing is re-traded at the table.
| 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.

A bank underwrites you. We underwrite the building. That difference decides who wins the Philadelphia rowhome needing a roof, a kitchen and a new stack before anyone will insure it. Bridge starts at 9.00% with up to 75% LTV, fix and flip funds the rehab draws, and construction covers ground-up on an infill lot. Minimal documentation, no committee, nobody waiting for a credit memo to circulate.
Long-term holds get the rental property program, which reads the lease and the building rather than your personal income. Blanket loans wrap a scattered Allentown or Reading portfolio into one note. Commercial handles the mixed use storefront with apartments above, a common shape in Pennsylvania downtowns. Second and third mortgages pull equity out of what you already own. Nothing we write carries a prepayment penalty.

PENNSYLVANIA 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, we fund investors across Pennsylvania, from Philadelphia and Reading in the east to Pittsburgh and Erie in the west, plus the Lehigh Valley around Allentown. Loan Goat is a direct lender based in San Diego using its own capital, which is why terms come back in hours instead of weeks. All of our lending is business purpose and non-owner-occupied. Call and describe the deal.
-
Rowhome rehab is bread and butter for us. The fix and flip program funds the purchase and the construction draws on one note, and bridge covers you at up to 75% LTV if you need speed more than leverage. Party walls, shared roofs and tight Philadelphia County lots are normal collateral, not red flags. Send the scope, the comparable sales and your exit.
-
Small multifamily is one of the most common requests coming out of Allegheny County. Triplexes and fourplexes in Lawrenceville or Bloomfield fit either bridge or the rental property program, depending on whether you are stabilizing or holding. DSCR underwriting looks at the rent roll instead of your returns, and interest-only payments keep the monthly payment light while you lease the building up.
-
Erie, Reading, Allentown and the counties around them get exactly the same programs as Philadelphia. A smaller market value does not disqualify a deal, because we size against the property and the exit rather than a metro tier list. A bridge loan can close in as fast as 3 days when the file is clean and the title work is simple.
-
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.
Bridge loan terms -
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.
