Salt Lake City is the center of the Wasatch Front and the reason capital keeps moving into Utah. Salt Lake County holds the state government, the University of Utah and a downtown that has been adding density for years, while the Cottonwood canyons put world-class skiing within reach. Sugar House, the Avenues and the Granary District are where investors compete.
Salt Lake City is one of the Utah markets Loan Goat lends in year round. Salt Lake County files and deals in West Valley City, West Jordan and Orem are underwritten identically, on value, exit and the plan for the property.
Loan Goat is a direct lender with in-house capital and no loan committee, headquartered in San Diego and funding across 46 states. A Salt Lake City borrower deals with the lender itself, not a broker shopping the file, which is the difference between a quote you can act on and a quote that needs a second opinion.
© THE COST SALT LAKE CITY · UT
WHAT DO SALT LAKE CITY HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Pricing a Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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.
The ranges above are what is actually available. Send the Salt Lake City address and what you intend to do with it and the quote comes back with the exact rate, leverage and term for that deal.

A private lender earns its rate by being fast and being sure. On Salt Lake City property that shows up as a written quote the same day, an appraisal ordered only once the terms are agreed, and a wire inside a week. The rate buys the speed and the certainty.
Pre-war brick bungalows and Victorians through the Avenues, 1920s brick across Sugar House and 9th and 9th, post-war ranch on the west side in Rose Park and Glendale, and new mid-rise apartments downtown and in the Granary. That stock is exactly what the bridge and fix and flip programs are built for.
Basement conversions and ADU additions are the classic Salt Lake value-add, since the older housing has the height for it. Flips work in Rose Park and Glendale, student rentals hold near the University of Utah, and short-term rental demand follows the canyons. The program follows the plan, not the other way round.

SALT LAKE CITY 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 Salt Lake City and across Salt Lake 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Salt Lake City asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
ADU and basement conversion projects in Salt Lake City are exactly what bridge and construction money is for. Loan Goat funds the Salt Lake County purchase and the build-out on the property's value, not your pay stubs, and you refinance into a DSCR rental loan once the unit is rented. Documentation stays minimal, and most files close in five to seven days.
-
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.
