San Pablo is a compact, working-class West Contra Costa city wedged between Richmond and the Bay hills, defined by older bungalows and stucco tracts and the busy San Pablo Avenue corridor that carries commerce through Old Town and Downtown San Pablo. The casino, the community college nearby, and quick I-80 access to the Bay Bridge shape its economy, and modest entry pricing relative to inner-Bay markets keeps investor attention high. Neighborhoods like Rumrill hold older single-family and small multifamily stock that rewards renovation, while the avenue itself carries mixed-use and small commercial opportunity for owners willing to reposition tired buildings.
Fidelity Funding lends directly across West County, and because our loans are asset-based we size deals on the property and the plan rather than a borrower's W-2 history. That fits San Pablo, where budget-minded flippers and buy-and-hold landlords compete for affordable inventory. We close in as little as five to seven business days, fund up to 90% of purchase plus rehab, and offer DSCR options for the steady rental demand that the college, the I-80 commute, and nearby refinery and port employment generate around Old Town and the Rumrill blocks.
Value-add multifamily drives the bulk of investor activity in San Pablo, with typical building basis tracking near the $765K per-unit benchmark.
We size San Pablo bridge loans against in-place income with a realistic stabilization plan that survives both rent-control rules and tenant-relocation logistics. Local pocket coverage includes Downtown San Pablo, Old Town, San Pablo Avenue corridor, Rumrill and adjacent San Pablo submarkets.

For San Pablo, our highest-volume program is value-add multifamily bridge. We also fund bridge, construction, commercial, and DSCR rental scenarios in this market.
We fund single-family flips, duplexes and small multifamily, and mixed-use commercial along San Pablo Avenue, from Old Town through the Rumrill blocks.
Entry pricing is low for the inner East Bay while rents stay firm on I-80 commuters and nearby college and industrial payrolls, which helps DSCR rentals cash-flow.
Typically five to ten business days, and as fast as five to seven once title and appraisal clear, since we are a direct lender making our own decisions.
Yes. We offer bridge and small commercial financing to acquire and reposition tired storefronts and mixed-use buildings along the corridor.
