Hard Money Loans in Truckee, California

Truckee sits high in the Sierra Nevada in Nevada County, a historic railroad and logging town near Donner Pass that has become a premier four-season mountain resort community. Its restored Downtown Truckee of brick and wood storefronts anchors an economy built on skiing at Northstar and nearby resorts, summer recreation, and a strong second-home and vacation-rental market. The housing stock ranges from cabins and mountain homes in the vast Tahoe Donner community to Glenshire and the Northstar area, all commanding premium values shaped by the mountain lifestyle.

Fidelity Funding lends directly across California, and our asset-based approach fits a resort market where income is seasonal and vacation-rental cash flow drives value. We underwrite the property and the exit rather than a tidy income file, and close in five to ten business days. Whether an investor is renovating a Tahoe Donner cabin, holding a short-term rental on DSCR terms, or bridging a Glenshire purchase, our capital keeps pace with a mountain market where prime season is short.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you finance vacation rentals in Truckee?

Yes. Four-season tourism supports strong short-term rental demand, and our DSCR loans can be sized on the property's rental income rather than personal income.

Can seasonal mountain income affect approval?

Not with us. As an asset-based lender we underwrite the property and the exit, so seasonal income does not block a Truckee deal.

Do you fund cabins in Tahoe Donner?

Absolutely. Tahoe Donner cabins are strong value-add candidates, and we cover up to 100% of rehab costs with fast closings.

How fast can you close in Truckee?

In five to ten business days, and as fast as five to seven once title and appraisal clear, since we make decisions in-house.
