Family Owned Direct Private Lender for Real Estate Investors
Fulford Lending is a family owned and operated direct private money lender, established in 2006, primarily focused on real estate in the Greater Washington, DC metropolitan area.We underwrite, fund and service all of our loans. Fulford is not a broker; we lend family funds and service each of our loans. We use your equity position in the property to determine the extent of your borrowing capacity. When you call or send an application you will speak directly to a decision maker. We provide honest answers quickly regarding your prospective loan.
Flexible Strategy
We don’t use a standardized underwriting process. Instead, we evaluate each deal individually. We are an independent lender who is able to tailor deals to our clients specific needs. There is no rule book, just people working to enhance each others investments.
Fast Approval & Closing
We prioritize getting a deal done as quickly and effectively as possible. Our sole purpose is to make good deals that make sense for both parties. A mutual agreement has to deliver mutual benefits.

Stay Informed About Private Lending

Prior to starting Fulford Lending in 2006, and for over 50 years, we have been involved in all aspects of real estate in the Greater Washington DC metropolitan area. We owned/own and operate various enterprises which include development, construction and management of all types of real estate ventures from simple single family rehabs, new construction, tenant build-outs, rentals (i.e. shopping centers, office buildings and even single family investment properties), farming and forestry. Our knowledge of the subject matter means you’re speaking with someone who understands your needs and can package a loan meeting those needs.
A Fast Common Sense Approach To Hard Money
As you start the process of looking for financing we would like to note the differences between Fulford Lending and other lenders. First, whenever you speak with us you are speaking with a decision maker who has in all likelihood experienced the particularities of your situation. The money that we lend is our money, and therefore, our decisions are based on a common sense approach. This allows us to make quick decisions and offer flexibility in our loan terms specific to your needs. Over sixty percent of our borrowers are repeat customers, which we believe is a direct result of our interest only rates, as well as our flexibility and our desire to make sure that our loans are viable in all respects for the success of our borrowers.
