Loan programs
What we lend on
Our rates reflect short-term bridge capital. Most of our borrowers refinance into long-term debt within 18 months — often back at their bank. We plan that exit with you from day one.
Searching for a hard money lender in Tucson? Experienced operators usually choose a private bridge lender instead — comparable speed and flexibility, but underwriting that weighs the business and the exit, not just the collateral.
