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 $250K–$5M throughout Colorado, including Boulder County.

How fast can you fund a loan in Erie?

Term sheet in under 5 business days and closing in under 10 days from submission — fast enough for most Erie deadlines. A member of our team 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 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.
