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.

Searching for a hard money lender in Erie? 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.

Why BuildUp

What sets us apart in Boulder County

  • Not a loan-to-own shop. We structure every loan around your exit and only fund deals we believe will succeed.
  • Real collateral, always. Every loan is secured by Boulder County-area real estate we’d be comfortable owning.
  • A person, typically within 24 hours. No call center, no automated maybe — a real answer, fast.
  • Skin in the game. We invest at least 10% of our own capital in every loan we make.
  • Speed that wins deals. Term sheets typically within 5 business days, with closing typically around 10 days once diligence items are received — fast enough for most Erie deadlines.
  • Complex situations, underwritten. Complex entities, cross-collateral, and financials that need interpretation — a standard credit box can’t hold them; we can.

Common questions

Lending in Erie

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