Washington trades block by block, and the quadrant tells you most of what you need to know. Capitol Hill, Shaw, Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park hold the rowhouse fabric investors chase, Petworth and Brookland run deeper into family housing, Navy Yard is modern and dense, and the neighborhoods east of the river carry the lowest basis in the city.
Washington is one of the District of Columbia markets Loan Goat lends in year round. the District of Columbia files and deals in Alexandria, Rockville and Bowie are underwritten identically, on value, exit and the plan for the property.
Being headquartered in San Diego is an advantage on a Washington 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 WASHINGTON · DC
WHAT DO WASHINGTON HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Washington file is a function of the deal, not the market. Bridge opens at 9.00%. Residential runs to 75% LTV and commercial to 70%, on one or two year terms, and a clean file closes in 3 to 14 days.
The written quote comes before the appraisal, and it holds. For a Washington deal on a clock, that is the difference between a real number and an indication. Prepay is free on the bridge programs, which matters when the plan is to be out inside a year.
| 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 Washington deal gets priced inside them once the property and the exit are on the table, usually the same day the file is opened.

Banks underwrite the borrower. Loan Goat underwrites the property. On a Washington 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.
Brick and limestone rowhouses in Federal, Victorian and Wardman styles across the older quadrants, 1920s low rise apartment buildings, converted flats above storefronts, and newer high rise product around the waterfront districts. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
The signature deal is a full rowhouse gut, often split into two units before resale. Long term holds work throughout the eastern neighborhoods, small apartment buildings attract patient value add capital, and university adjacent blocks keep steady tenant flow. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.

WASHINGTON 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 Washington and across the District of Columbia 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 Washington 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 Washington 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 the District of Columbia. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Washington asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Yes. Loan Goat funds bridge and fix and flip loans on rowhouse projects across Washington and the wider District of Columbia, including full gut renovations and unit splits. The property, the scope and the exit carry the file, not your tax returns. Bridge reaches 75 percent LTV, funding comes from in house capital, and a typical deal closes in five to seven days.
-
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.
How funding works -
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.
