Hard Money Loans in Petaluma, California

Petaluma is a historic Sonoma County river town at the southern gateway to Wine Country, celebrated for its exceptionally well-preserved iron-front Downtown, the Petaluma River and Riverfront district, and a split personality between the Victorian-rich West Petaluma and the newer subdivisions of East Petaluma. Its housing spans grand 1800s-early-1900s homes near D Street and the Eastside, mid-century stock, and modern tract product, all within Highway 101 commuting range of Marin and San Francisco. A blend of agricultural roots, a burgeoning food-and-beverage scene, and Bay Area commuter demand keeps both resale and rental markets active.

As a direct, asset-based lender, Fidelity Funding funds Petaluma investors on the deal rather than income documents. We finance flips of Victorian and tract homes, ADU additions, small commercial near the ag and food economy, and DSCR rentals serving commuter and local-workforce demand. Lending statewide since 2006 with rates from 9.99% and closings in 5 to 10 business days, we give Wine Country investors the speed to lock in off-market deals and the flexibility to hold or exit on their terms.
