Common questions

Lending in Lewiston

Do you lend in Lewiston, Idaho?

Yes — Lewiston is squarely in our footprint. We make real-estate-secured loans of $250K–$5M throughout Idaho, including Nez Perce County.

How fast can you fund a loan in Lewiston?

Term sheet in under 5 business days and closing in under 10 days from submission — fast enough for most Lewiston deadlines. A member of our team responds within 24 hours.

Do you have a physical office in Lewiston?

No — we don't operate a branch in Lewiston. We lend across Idaho and a real person responds within 24 hours, so you get bank-grade underwriting without the bank's timeline.

Can I use Lewiston commercial or residential property as collateral?

Yes. We lend in first or second lien position against commercial or residential real estate in and around Lewiston, and we structure cross-collateralized loans across multiple properties.

What if my Lewiston business was declined by a bank or SBA?

A decline usually reflects complexity or timing, not the quality of your business. We regularly fund Lewiston deals that banks and SBA lenders pass on, provided they're secured by real estate in Idaho.

Are you a hard money lender in Lewiston?

We're a private bridge lender, not a hard money shop. The terms are comparable in Lewiston, but our underwriting is built around your success, not your keys.
