The Dallas market

Dallas–Fort Worth is a logistics, corporate-relocation, and industrial powerhouse, and that depth shows up in the real estate: tight cap rates, fast-moving flex and warehouse space, and operators who routinely own the buildings their businesses run from. When a bank’s committee can’t keep up with a DFW closing timeline, real-estate-secured bridge capital is how good deals still get done.

We fund acquisitions, expansions, partner buyouts, and refinances against Dallas-area real estate — including the cross-collateralized and complex-entity structures that banks decline for complexity rather than credit.

Key Dallas industries we lend to: Logistics & distribution · Corporate / professional services · Industrial & flex · Healthcare · Retail & mixed-use.

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.

Many Dallas borrowers start by searching "hard money lender." We’re a private bridge lender — comparable terms, more partnership-oriented underwriting, and a close typically around 10 days once diligence items are received.

Why BuildUp

What sets us apart in Dallas County

  • We know Texas. We lend only in markets we know firsthand, and Texas is one of them.
  • 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 Dallas deadlines.
  • 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 Dallas County-area real estate we’d be comfortable owning.
  • 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 Dallas

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