The Idaho market for hard money

Idaho grew from about 1.84 million residents in April 2020 to about 2.00 million in July 2024, by Census Bureau estimate — among the fastest rates in the country. Most of our Idaho activity is in Ada and Canyon counties (Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell) and Kootenai County (Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls).

Idaho population: 1.84 million (April 2020 base) to 2.00 million (July 2024), +8.8%. (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2024 estimates)

Collateral we lend against in Idaho

  • Owner-user commercial and light-industrial property in the Treasure Valley.
  • Investment residential and small multifamily held by a business.
  • Parcels inside an incorporated city, or within Idaho’s acreage limits, can be secured by a trust deed; larger rural tracts generally use a mortgage instead. (Idaho Code §45-1502)

Idaho trust deeds, foreclosure and title — the basics

  • An Idaho trust deed is limited to property within an incorporated city or village, or to parcels within statutory acreage limits. (Idaho Code §45-1502)
  • Notice of a trustee’s sale must be mailed at least 120 days before the sale. (Idaho Code §45-1506)
  • Idaho closings run through a title company. We order title and valuation at the term sheet.

Common questions

Hard money in Idaho — what people ask

Do you make hard money loans in Boise?
Yes — Boise, Meridian, Nampa and across Idaho, first position, $100K–$10M, up to 80% LTV, for business purposes.
How long does an Idaho trust-deed foreclosure take?
Notice of sale must be mailed at least 120 days before the sale (Idaho Code §45-1506), so Idaho is slower than its neighbors. We structure loans around the exit, not a sale.
