Marin County sits just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, a wealthy enclave of roughly 262,000+ residents spread across San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Tiburon, and the coastal towns fronting Point Reyes. Protected open space, strict growth controls, and a limited housing supply have pushed the median home value toward $1.5M, and much of the inventory is older mid-century and hillside homes ripe for high-end renovation. Investors here focus on luxury flips, structural and view-oriented remodels, teardown-rebuilds on premium lots, and boutique multifamily near the Highway 101 corridor and SMART rail stations. Because entitlement and permitting can be slow and construction expensive, projects live and die on carrying costs and flexible timelines.
Fidelity Funding Corp is a direct hard money lender that has funded California real estate since 2006, and we know how to underwrite Marin's high-value, low-turnover market. We close bridge, fix-and-flip, construction, DSCR, and small commercial loans in as little as 5 to 10 business days, lending our own capital from $50K to $50M with rates from 9.99% and leverage up to 90% of cost plus 100% of rehab. Whether you're rebuilding a Mill Valley hillside home or bridging the purchase of a Novato rental, we give you fast, certain funding and terms long enough to finish premium work. Reach us at (877) 300-3007.
Marin County fits the classic suburban California fix-and-flip profile: a $1.5M median, predictable comp sets, and a deep first-time-buyer pool.
Most Marin County loans we fund are standard cosmetic or cosmetic-plus-kitchens flips with predictable 4 to 6 month timelines and clean comp sets.
County median home value: $1.5M · Typical loan range: $900K – $2.1M · Top program: fix-and-flip and DSCR rental
Across Marin County, our typical private money loans range from $900K to $2.1M, sized against a county median of $1.5M. Larger commercial and multifamily scenarios are sized separately.
In Marin County, fix-and-flip and DSCR rental make up the majority of our volume. We also fund bridge, construction, commercial real estate, and DSCR rental scenarios county-wide.
Yes. We fund ground-up construction and major reconstruction on Marin's steep, view-oriented lots. We underwrite the completed value and can lend up to 90% of cost plus the full build budget, structuring draws and interest reserves to carry the project through a long permitting and construction cycle.
We plan for it. Marin's entitlement process can be lengthy, so we set terms and interest reserves with enough runway to reach completion, and we can extend where a project justifies it. That flexibility keeps carrying costs manageable on high-value builds.
Usually 5 to 10 business days. As a direct lender we underwrite the property and your exit ourselves, so you can secure a scarce Mill Valley or Sausalito listing fast, then refinance into permanent debt once value is stabilized.
From $50K up to $50M, which covers everything from a modest Novato rental to a large luxury build in Tiburon. Rates start at 9.99% depending on leverage and experience. Call (877) 300-3007 for terms.
