Lafayette is an affluent Lamorinda town in Contra Costa County, known for its leafy semi-rural feel, top-ranked schools, and a charming downtown along Mount Diablo Boulevard with easy BART and Highway 24 access to San Francisco. Its economy is largely residential and commuter-driven, and the housing stock ranges from ranch and mid-century homes to substantial custom estates across Burton Valley, Happy Valley, and Reliez Valley, many on wooded, view-oriented lots. Investors focus on the wide gap between dated homes and the finished luxury product these buyers expect, where a thoughtful remodel or rebuild can capture meaningful value in a supply-constrained market.
Fidelity Funding is a direct, asset-based lender, so a Lafayette investor works with the people funding the deal on high-dollar projects. We close in five to ten business days, fund up to 90% of purchase plus 100% of rehab, and size loans up to $50M for the substantial construction budgets this market supports. Whether you are remodeling a Burton Valley home, rebuilding on a Happy Valley lot, or holding a rental near Downtown Lafayette, our capital keeps luxury investors competitive where premium inventory is scarce.
