Loyalton is the only incorporated city in Sierra County, a small ranching and former timber town in the high Sierra Valley near the Nevada line, where the wide-open agricultural basin meets the pine-forested slopes. Downtown Loyalton is a compact main street serving the surrounding valley, while the Sierra Brooks subdivision to the east and the Beckwourth corridor and Sattley border to the north extend the community across ranchland and recreation-oriented parcels. The economy leans on agriculture, recreation, and proximity to the Reno metro, and housing runs modest and affordable, with mountain and valley properties well below front-country prices.
Fidelity Funding lends directly across the rural Sierra and underwrites on the asset and the plan rather than a borrower's tax returns. That approach fits a market this small and remote, where conventional lenders rarely tread and each property stands on its own. Whether you are flipping a dated home in town, holding a Sierra Brooks rental for recreation-driven demand, or bridging into a valley acquisition, we close in five to ten business days and fund up to 90% of purchase plus 100% of rehab.
Seasonal weather windows define the build season in Loyalton; we structure rehab loans around realistic mountain construction calendars and a $276K project basis.
Most Loyalton files we fund are STR-focused rehabs with DSCR refi takeouts sized against peak-season nightly rates. Local pocket coverage includes Downtown Loyalton, Sierra Brooks, Beckwourth corridor, Sattley border and adjacent Loyalton submarkets.
