Direct Lender for Residential Property Investors in Colorado

Salt Funding’s primary loan program is for the purchase and rehab of single family homes that will be flipped or rented. Loans typically do not exceed 80% of as-is-value or 90% of purchase price. We will also lend up to 100% of construction costs provided the total loan amount does not exceed 70% of the After Repair Value.

We offer cash out refinance loans (1st or 2nd position) on existing real property provided the funds are used for business purpose only.
