Hard Money Loans in Etna, California

Etna is a small Scott Valley town tucked beneath the Marble Mountains in western Siskiyou County, a ranching and timber community that trades on its walkable, brick-fronted Main Street, the historic Etna Brewing tradition, and its role as a gateway for Pacific Crest Trail hikers dropping into town. Homes here run from turn-of-the-century farmhouses around Downtown Etna to newer parcels stretching into the surrounding pasture land, with acreage and outbuildings common on the edges toward Diggles and South Etna. Buyers are drawn by low entry prices, quiet mountain living, and the recreation economy that the Scott River and the Salmon-Trinity backcountry support.

Fidelity Funding lends directly in rural markets like Etna where conventional banks move slowly and rarely understand agricultural or mixed-use collateral. Because we underwrite the asset and the plan rather than a W-2 file, we can size a loan on an older Downtown Etna cottage, a Scott Valley homestead, or a small commercial building and close in five to ten business days. We fund up to 90% of cost plus rehab, offer DSCR options for long-term holds, and give investors a real decision-maker on the phone at (877) 300-3007.

As fast as five to seven business days once title and valuation clear. Because we are a direct lender, distance from a metro doesn't slow our decision.

Can I finance a Main Street commercial building in Etna?

Yes, our small commercial and mixed-use programs cover storefront and live-work buildings in Downtown Etna on an asset basis, sized to the property and its income potential.

What loan amounts do you offer in Siskiyou County?
