As a full-service Private Money lender for real estate investors, Cogo Capital does most of the leg-work for you, while you build up your real estate portfolio and cash-flow all your deals. Whether it’s for wholesale, rehab, or buy and hold for long-term cash investment deals, Cogo Capital delivers fast and easy access to Private Money.

We’re an equity-based lender which means we care more about the property’s merits, and don’t focus on poor credit, or some of the other factors conventional lenders use to rate the risk.
