Hard Money Loans in San Bernardino, California

San Bernardino is the historic hub of the Inland Empire, a Route 66 city whose deep, older housing stock and low entry prices make it one of Southern California's most active renovation markets. Neighborhoods range from the revitalizing blocks of Downtown San Bernardino and the North Park and Del Rosa districts to the foothill homes of Shandin Hills and the student-driven University District near Cal State San Bernardino. Decades of transition have left plenty of dated but structurally sound houses, and strong rental demand from students, workers, and families keeps both flips and holds moving.

Fidelity Funding lends directly across San Bernardino and knows how to underwrite its varied, sometimes distressed inventory. We can size a loan on a Verdemont fixer, a North Park flip, or a small commercial building on the asset and your plan rather than a W-2 file. As a direct lender since 2006, we close in five to ten business days, fund up to 90% of cost plus 100% of rehab, and offer DSCR loans built for the city's rental strength. Whether it's a first flip near Arrowhead or a University District rental, a decision-maker is on the line at (877) 300-3007.
