Rio Dell is a small, affordable town on the Eel River in southern Humboldt County, sitting across the water from the historic company town of Scotia and its old redwood-lumber mill. The community grew around the timber economy, and its modest housing stock, older frame homes near Downtown Rio Dell, mid-century houses, and parcels running south along the Wildwood corridor, reflects that working-class heritage. With some of the lowest home prices in the region and proximity to Highway 101, Rio Dell attracts value-seeking buyers, workers, and investors priced out of Eureka and Fortuna.
Fidelity Funding lends directly across Humboldt County and understands the value-add potential in an affordable market like Rio Dell. Because our loans are asset-based, we underwrite the property and the plan rather than a borrower's income documents, which suits investors renovating inexpensive homes for resale or rent. We close in five to ten business days, fund up to 90% of purchase plus 100% of rehab, and offer DSCR loans for steady local tenant demand. Speak with a decision-maker directly at (877) 300-3007.
