Hard Money Loans in Capitola, California

Capitola is a picturesque beach village on Monterey Bay, one of California's oldest seaside resort towns, known for the colorful Venetian Court, the wharf, and the walkable Capitola Village lining Soquel Creek where it meets the sand. The housing stock is scarce and coveted, from the tiny, brightly painted cottages of the Jewel Box to the coveted bluff-top homes on Depot Hill and the hillside lots of Cliffwood Heights. Strong second-home and vacation-rental demand, paired with a hard cap on new supply, keeps every well-located property a genuine opportunity.

Fidelity Funding lends directly across California, and our asset-based approach fits a market this scarce and high-value. We underwrite the property and the exit rather than an income file, and close in five to ten business days. Whether an investor is renovating a Jewel Box cottage, bridging a Depot Hill bluff-top purchase, or holding a Village vacation rental on DSCR terms, our capital keeps pace where a single hesitation can lose a rare listing to a cash buyer.
