MoFin is devoted to investment property finance. Our mission is to close loans for our borrowers without the headache and hassle they’re used to with other lenders. We provide financing for fix and flips, rehab to rent deals, turnkey rentals, ground-up construction, and commercial real estate. Due to COVID19, we currently only offer bridge loans against both residential and commercial property. We are working to get 30 year financing for residential real estate and hopeful that it will be available late June or early July.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards when dealing with our customers. We believe the process of getting a mortgage should be easy, efficient, and enjoyable. We pride ourselves on providing personal, one-on-one service to our customers throughout the lending process.
Our business is built on technology. Every part of the application process is done online through our pre-qualification form and borrower portal. By signing up and completing our quick and easy pre-qualification, you can find out what rate we can offer for your deal.
