Rochester is the working end of Strafford County, sitting where the Spaulding Turnpike carries Seacoast wages north toward the lakes. The old downtown around North Main Street, the village of Gonic and the East Rochester pocket all hold rental houses built for mill labor that still rent to working tenants today.
Loan Goat funds Rochester deals the way it funds New Hampshire deals generally, on the asset. Strafford County is the working radius, and the same terms extend to Manchester, Nashua and Concord when the next opportunity lands one town over.
Being headquartered in San Diego is an advantage on a Rochester deal, not a limitation. The capital is in house, the underwriting is done by the people who fund the loan, and the answer comes back in hours. A 5.0 Google rating across 150+ reviews is the record on delivering that.
© THE COST ROCHESTER · NH
WHAT DO ROCHESTER HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing a Rochester deal is straightforward. Bridge runs from 9.00% to 13.00% and moves with leverage and risk. Ask for more of the purchase price and the rate moves up; bring a stronger exit and it moves down. Residential bridge goes to 75% LTV and commercial to 70%.
Every quote is written before an appraisal is ordered, so a Rochester investor knows the rate, the leverage, the term and the fees while there is still time to walk. No prepayment penalty on the bridge programs means a flip that sells in four months costs four months of interest, not twelve.
| 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 Rochester 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.

Banks underwrite the borrower. Loan Goat underwrites the property. On a Rochester deal that means a self-employed investor, a recently formed LLC or a file with a complication on it is not automatically dead. The asset, the leverage and the exit carry the decision, and the answer comes back in hours instead of a month.
Older wood-frame singles and two-families built for mill workers, a few brick blocks downtown with storefronts below, 1960s ranches, and outlying parcels with room for a second structure. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
Cash-flow buy-and-hold is the obvious play, with cosmetic flips on neglected singles and small multifamily assembled slowly. Blanket financing suits investors who already own scattered houses across the city. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

HOW WE LEND IN ROCHESTER
Read the table as a promise rather than a pitch. On a Rochester deal it means the leverage quoted is the leverage funded, the timeline quoted is the timeline delivered, and the person who priced the file is the person who releases the money.

ROCHESTER 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 Rochester and across Strafford 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 Rochester 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 Rochester 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 Strafford County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Rochester asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
A blanket loan is usually the answer. Loan Goat can wrap several Rochester rentals, or a mix of Strafford County addresses, into one facility so you stop juggling separate notes and payment dates. Bridge and DSCR options remain available too, all without prepayment penalties, which means selling one house out of the pool never triggers a fee.
-
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 -
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.
