Coalinga sits on the far west side of Fresno County near Interstate 5 and the Pleasant Valley, a town whose history is rooted in oil and ranching and whose economy today blends petroleum, agriculture, and the institutions of Pleasant Valley State Prison and West Hills College. Its affordable, largely postwar housing stock in the older core and along the Westside and South Coalinga neighborhoods offers investors entry prices well below the coastal and metro markets. The stable employment from the prison, the college, and the surrounding oil-and-ag operations sustains reliable rental demand, and the town's position along the I-5 corridor keeps it connected to Central Valley commerce.
Fidelity Funding lends directly across the Central Valley, and because our loans are asset-based we size deals on the property and the plan rather than a borrower's W-2 history. That fits Coalinga, where budget-minded flippers and buy-and-hold landlords compete for affordable inventory. We close in as little as five to seven business days, fund up to 90% of purchase plus rehab, and offer DSCR and small commercial options for the dependable demand that the prison, West Hills College, and the oil-and-ag workforce generate around Pleasant Valley and the older downtown core.
Coalinga's combination of $240K-range housing basis and steady working-population rental demand produces some of the cleaner DSCR yields in California.
Most Coalinga files we fund are DSCR rental holds against a $240K-range entry basis with steady working-population tenant demand. Local pocket coverage includes Downtown Coalinga, Pleasant Valley, Westside, South Coalinga and adjacent Coalinga submarkets.

As fast as five to seven business days once title and appraisal clear, since as a direct lender we make our own underwriting decisions.
They can. Low purchase prices and steady institutional demand help rentals cash-flow, and our DSCR loans qualify on the property rather than personal income.
