Hard Money Loans in Monterey, California

Monterey is a storied Central Coast city where California's first capital, the historic Old Town adobes, Cannery Row, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium draw millions of visitors a year, all set against a dramatic coastline near the Pebble Beach border. Its housing runs from early-1900s cottages and Spanish revivals in New Monterey and Old Town to wooded hillside homes in Skyline Forest and Aguajito and beachfront property near Del Monte Beach. Tourism, the Naval Postgraduate School, and defense-language institute employment anchor the economy, while limited coastal inventory and visitor demand keep both resale values and short-term-rental potential high.

As a direct, asset-based lender, Fidelity Funding funds Monterey investors on the deal rather than income documents, comfortable with coastal price points. We finance coastal flips and restorations, short-term-rental acquisitions near the attractions, ADU additions, and DSCR rentals serving the institute and hospitality workforce. Lending across California since 2006 with rates from 9.99%, closings in 5 to 10 business days, and loans to $50M, we give Central Coast investors the speed to win scarce, high-value Monterey deals.
