Escalon is a small San Joaquin County farm town between Modesto and Manteca, surrounded by almond orchards, dairies, and row crops along the McHenry Avenue corridor. Its downtown keeps an old agricultural-Main-Street feel, home to the long-running Escalon Park Fiesta, while Riverdale Park to the north offers riverfront and rural-residential lots near the Stanislaus. Housing runs from early-century farm homes and postwar cottages in Downtown Escalon to newer subdivisions on the edges, and South Escalon blends modest residential with ag-service parcels. The town's affordability and central-valley position make it a quiet base for commuters working in Modesto, Manteca, and beyond.
Fidelity Funding is a direct, asset-based lender, so an Escalon investor works directly with the decision-makers. We underwrite the collateral and the plan rather than pages of tax returns, and we close in five to ten business days. Whether you are rehabbing an older downtown farm home, financing a small commercial building along McHenry, or holding a South Escalon workforce rental on a DSCR loan, our capital moves at the speed this small valley market requires.
Escalon's combination of $312K-range housing basis and steady working-population rental demand produces some of the cleaner DSCR yields in California.
Most Escalon files we fund are DSCR rental holds against a $312K-range entry basis with steady working-population tenant demand. Local pocket coverage includes Downtown Escalon, South Escalon, McHenry corridor, Riverdale Park and adjacent Escalon submarkets.

For Escalon, our highest-volume program is DSCR rental and small commercial. We also fund bridge, construction, commercial, and DSCR rental scenarios in this market.
We lend on single-family flips, small multifamily, DSCR rentals, and small commercial across Downtown Escalon, South Escalon, the McHenry corridor, and Riverdale Park. Older farm homes and newer tracts both qualify on an asset basis.
Yes. We fund Riverdale Park and ag-edge lots where zoning and access support a clear residential or small-commercial exit, underwriting the collateral rather than the acreage alone.
As fast as five to seven business days after title and valuation clear. As a direct lender, we set our own timeline and move quickly for valley deals.
Banks are slow to lend on dated or vacant rural homes. Our asset-based underwriting funds the deal on the property's merits and covers rehab costs, so you can close and renovate without conventional delays.
