Our rates reflect short-term bridge capital. These loans are structured to be refinanced into long-term debt — often back at your bank — within the loan term. We plan that exit with you from day one. Rates depend on term, collateral, lien position, and borrower profile, and are subject to change. Not every borrower qualifies for the lowest rate.

If you’ve been looking for a hard money lender in Yuma, Arizona, here’s the difference: we’re a private bridge lender. Similar speed, but we underwrite your deal and invest our own capital alongside you.

Why BuildUp

What sets us apart in Yuma County

  • Complex situations, underwritten. Complex entities, cross-collateral, and financials that need interpretation — a standard credit box can’t hold them; we can.
  • Transparent pricing. From 10%, priced to the risk, with our fees stated in your term sheet. Rates depend on term, collateral, lien position, and borrower profile, and are subject to change. Not every borrower qualifies for the lowest rate.
  • A person, typically within 24 hours. No call center, no automated maybe — a real answer, fast.
  • Operators, not bankers. We’ve built, bought, and run businesses, so we read your deal as a business plan — not just a collateral file.
  • We know Arizona. We lend only in markets we know firsthand, and Arizona is one of them.
  • Skin in the game. We invest at least 10% of our own capital in every loan we make.

Common questions

Lending in Yuma

Do you lend in Yuma, Arizona?
Yes — Yuma is squarely in our footprint. We make real-estate-secured loans of $100K–$10M throughout Arizona, including Yuma County.
How fast can you fund a loan in Yuma?
Term sheets typically within 5 business days and closing typically around 10 days once diligence items are received — fast enough for most Yuma deadlines. A member of our team typically responds within 24 hours.
Do you have a physical office in Yuma?
No — we don’t operate a branch in Yuma. We lend across Arizona and a real person typically responds within 24 hours, so you get bank-grade underwriting without the bank’s timeline.
Can I use Yuma commercial or residential property as collateral?
Yes. We lend in first or second lien position against commercial or residential real estate in and around Yuma, and we structure cross-collateralized loans across multiple properties.
What if my Yuma business was declined by a bank or SBA?
A decline usually reflects complexity or timing, not the quality of your business. We regularly fund Yuma deals that banks and SBA lenders pass on, provided they’re secured by real estate in Arizona.
Are you a hard money lender in Yuma?
We’re a private bridge lender, not a hard money shop. The terms are comparable in Yuma, but our underwriting is built around your success, not your keys.
