Hard Money Loans in Rochester, NY

Direct, asset-based capital for Monroe County real estate investors. Secure the leverage you need for fix-and-flips, rentals, and new construction with 7–14 day closings.

Direct Private Lending for the Flower City

Rochester remains a top destination for both local and out-of-state investors due to its unique combination of low entry prices and high rental demand. In a market where multiple offers are the norm, you need a lender that can provide proof of funds and close without the delays of a traditional mortgage.
