San Mateo sits at the heart of the Peninsula, a mid-sized suburban city with a bustling downtown, the redeveloped Bay Meadows and Hillsdale transit-oriented districts, and prestigious older neighborhoods like San Mateo Park, Baywood, and Aragon lined with 1920s-30s period homes. The broader housing base blends those character estates with postwar tracts in North Shoreview and Fiesta Gardens, all sitting on Caltrain and Highway 101 within easy reach of both San Francisco and Silicon Valley employers. That central location and school reputation keep demand consistently high across a wide range of price points.
As a direct, asset-based lender, Fidelity Funding funds San Mateo investors on the deal rather than income paperwork. We finance period-home restorations, tract-home flips, ADU additions, and DSCR rentals serving the Peninsula's dual-hub commuter demand. Lending statewide since 2006 with rates from 9.99% and closings in 5 to 10 business days, we give investors the speed to win competitive San Mateo deals and the flexibility to bridge into long-term holds.
