San Carlos sits below Cowles Mountain at the eastern edge of the city beside Mission Trails Regional Park, a 1960s and 1970s suburb with open space on its doorstep and no room to expand.
From San Diego County out to Tierrasanta, La Mesa and Santee, San Carlos investors get the full program stack: bridge, fix and flip, construction, rental property, commercial, second mortgages and blanket loans on a portfolio.
Nothing about a San Carlos 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 SAN CARLOS · CA
WHAT DO SAN CARLOS HARD MONEY LOANS COST
What a San Carlos 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 San Carlos 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 numbers are the ceiling and the floor. A San Carlos deal gets priced inside them once the property and the exit are on the table, usually the same day the file is opened.

Working with a direct lender on a San Carlos 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.
1960s and 1970s single-family tracts, some hillside homes with views, townhomes, and a small commercial centre. Every one of those property types is on the eligible list.
Cosmetic renovation, hillside view-home remodels, and ADUs on the flatter lots. Whichever of those plays is on the table, there is a program written for it.
THE PROCESS
- Complete your application
- Submit required documentation

HOW WE LEND IN SAN CARLOS
Most lenders compete on one line of that table. This one is built to hold every line at once, which is why a San Carlos borrower gets leverage and speed in the same quote rather than trading one for the other. If the numbers do not work, you are told early and directly.

SAN CARLOS 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 San Carlos and across San Diego 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 San Carlos 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 San Carlos 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 San Diego County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the San Carlos asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Five to seven days on a complete file. Send the address, the purchase price, your renovation budget and the resale you expect, and we will tell you within a day whether the numbers work and what the loan looks like.
-
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.
All loan programs -
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 -
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.
