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 College Station, Texas, here’s the difference: we’re a private bridge lender. Similar speed, but we underwrite your deal and invest our own capital alongside you.

Common questions

College Station financing questions

Do you lend in College Station, Texas?
Yes. BuildUp Capital lends across Texas, including College Station and the rest of Brazos County, against commercial or residential real estate — business-purpose loans from $100,000 to $10,000,000.
How fast can you fund a loan in College Station?
Fast: a term sheet typically within 5 business days and funding typically in around 10 days once diligence items are received. Speed in College Station comes from preparation, not skipped steps.
Do you have a physical office in College Station?
We’re online and statewide, not a storefront in College Station. That’s how we move faster than a local bank while still underwriting every deal by hand.
Can I use College Station commercial or residential property as collateral?
Commercial or residential — both work. College Station-area real estate can secure the loan, including cross-collateralized structures across several properties.
What if my College Station business was declined by a bank or SBA?
Often, yes. A bank "no" in College Station is usually about a checklist, not your business — and complex, time-critical deals are exactly what we underwrite.
Are you a hard money lender in College Station?
No — we’re a private bridge lender. Hard money lenders underwrite collateral alone; we weigh the business and the exit too, and we invest our own capital in every loan.
