Direct Private Lender for Northern California Investment Properties
Security Financial is neither a high-priced hard-money lender nor a slow-moving conventional originator. Thanks to the mix of our own capital and low-cost lines of credit, we’re able to offer some of the lowest private lending rates around. For Borrowers who have an immediate close of escrow or have a hard to finance property, we can close in as fast as 3-5 business days! Our familiarity with Bay Area real estate markets, flexibility, and streamlined process allow us to accommodate short deadlines.
Please Note: We do not consider vacant land, ground-up construction, or owner-occupied homes.
