Missouri Hard Money Insights from Minnow Loan
The real estate investment market in Missouri remains stable. However, like many other states today, it is facing some challenges that are affecting investment activity. According to Shelby Reed, CEO of Minnow Loan in Missouri, one of the biggest factors affecting real estate investment activity is the lack of inventory across the state, which has driven up property prices. “Our prices remain consistently stable, however, because of this lack of inventory right now, we are seeing that directly impact the prices on the buy side, the sales side, and as well as our rental market,” Reed explains.
Reed also states that although market prices remain higher than usual, investors are less interested in doing the usual fix and flip, rather they want to buy, hold and rent it out long term. “We have been able to successfully take some of those products and some of those borrowers and loans and convert their bridge or their fix and flip into a long-term DSCR product, which really gives that investor many, many options to build their portfolio,” she says.
According to Reed, real estate investors in the state of Missouri have a few different lending options for their projects. One option is the local bank, and another is to work with a hard money lender. Reed says, there are a handful of hard money lenders throughout the state, and many of them are nationwide lenders, unlike Minnow Loan, a Missouri local lender. Reed says, “what makes Minnow loan so different is that we are true local lenders here throughout the state of Missouri. What makes us unique is that we are loaning out from our own capital, so that allows us to have our own underwriting process that we do internally, and that therefore we can talk with the borrower and really understand what makes up this deal.”
Popular Markets in Missouri Investors to Consider
According to Minnow Loan, the housing market in Missouri is generally stable, with prices not experiencing severe fluctuations compared to states like Florida, Arizona, or California. However, major metropolitan areas such as St. Louis and Kansas City see higher levels of investment activity.
Minnow Loan is an asset-based direct lender focused on lending throughout Missouri – St. Louis, Jefferson City, Columbia, Kansas City, Springfield, etc. They offer various types of hard money loans: bridge loans, rehab, fix and flip, ground-up construction, and transactional (same-day close). They are not too concerned about credit scores and don’t require a formal appraisal for most deals.

Funded Hard Money Loans in Missouri
Minnow Loan, a local Missouri direct lender, funded an $85,000 first-lien position hard money loan for the acquisition of a single-family rental home in Jefferson City, MO. We funded 85% of the $100,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 15% cash at closing. This deal was for a new Borrower whose property was local to our home office, while the Borrower lived about 2 hours away. We assisted the Borrower in identifying the properties and their locations. Due to the Borrower’s strong credit score and history, we provided a loan for a package of four properties. This property is one of the four that the Borrower closed on the same day. We engaged a local title company and managed to fund and close within 3 business days. The Borrower has been excellent, and we look forward to working with them on future deals. They plan to refinance as an exit strategy. The property was in fair condition and tenant-occupied at closing. It is approximately 1,058 square feet. The interest rate was 12.5% and we charged 3% origination points. The loan term was set at 12 months. This hard money loan was funded in June 2024.
