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 El Paso? 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.
