FUNDED DEAL: Myers Capital Hawaii, LLC, NMLS 1662480, a residential and commercial mortgage banking company and direct private lender—partnered with its affiliate, Koa Mortgage Fund, to finance a $1,136,000 equity cash-out loan with a construction holdback secured by a mixed-use repositioning project in Newport News, VA. The property’s current value was estimated at $1,500,000, resulting in a 44.58% loan-to-value. The projected after-repair value was estimated at $2,300,000, corresponding to a 49.39% loan-to-after-repair value. The Borrower needed renovation capital but was constrained by liquidity and leverage tied only to the subject property. To increase proceeds while maintaining conservative exposure, we cross-collateralized a free-and-clear condo and financed 100% of the $469,150 construction budget. Funds were held back and disbursed as work progressed. Conservative leverage at stabilization, supported by multiple collateral sources, provided strong downside protection while meeting the Borrower’s capital needs. The cash-out delivered the required liquidity, and upon completion, the Borrower plans to lease the property for commercial and event-based uses to support stabilized cash flow and a future takeout or sale. The subject property was approximately 9,416 square feet set in an 18,731-square-foot lot. The Borrower had good credit. The loan carries a 15% interest rate with 12 months of guaranteed interest. This bridge loan was funded in January 2026.

FUNDED DEAL: SDC CAPITAL, a direct private lender based in Burbank, funded a $1,627,500 purchase and rehab loan for a multifamily home in Santa Ana, CA. We funded 100% of the renovation budget, and the Borrower contributed 25% to the purchase price. At closing, the property was 100% occupied, which provided immediate rental income for the Borrower. However, the asset was in below-average condition, which created an opportunity for the Borrower to implement a value-add strategy through renovations. The Borrower plans to renovate the existing units and build additional ADUs on the property to increase rental income. Once the renovations are completed and the units are leased at market rates, the Borrower intends to refinance the property into long-term financing. Through the planned improvements and expansion, the property is projected to reach an estimated after-repair value of approximately $2,500,000. The loan term was set at 12 months. This bridge loan was funded in April 2026.

FUNDED DEAL: Myers Capital Hawaii, LLC, NMLS 1662480, a residential and commercial mortgage banking company and direct private lender—partnered with its affiliate, Koa Mortgage Fund, to fund a $630,000 purchase bridge loan for a mixed-use property in Green Lane, PA. The loan was funded at 60% loan-to-value based on a $1,050,000 appraised value. The property was structured under a lease-to-own agreement, allowing the Borrower to build equity over time through lease payments. When the opportunity arose to exercise the purchase option, the Borrower leveraged fast and reliable financing to complete the acquisition and secure the location of their business. The Borrower is a long-time small business owner operating at the subject property and plans to refinance the bridge loan into an SBA loan. The subject property was in good condition. It is approximately 7,525 square feet, set in a 2.5-acre lot. The Borrower had good credit. The interest rate was fixed at 14.5%. The loan term was set at 6 months.

FUNDED DEAL: SDC CAPITAL, a direct private lender based in Burbank, funded a $407,000 2nd lien position cash-out refinance bridge loan secured by a triplex in Los Angeles, CA. The loan was structured at 67% loan-to-value, allowing the Borrower to access equity from the property and use the proceeds as a down payment for another investment property purchase. This structure enabled the Borrower to move quickly on a new opportunity without selling the property. At closing, the triplex was in excellent condition, and all units were occupied, supporting the Borrower’s strategy to refinance the loan at maturity. This transaction highlights how investors can unlock capital from existing properties to continue growing their real estate portfolios while maintaining ownership of performing assets. The loan term was set at 12 months. This bridge loan was funded in March 2026.

FUNDED DEAL: Myers Capital Hawaii, LLC, NMLS 1662480—residential and commercial mortgage banking company and direct private lender—partnered with its affiliate, Koa Mortgage Fund, to finance a $1,430,000 equity cash-out loan secured by a free-and-clear land parcel located in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Koa Mortgage Fund, a pooled private mortgage debt fund, funded the loan at 65% loan-to-value, based on a $2,200,000 appraised land value. Loan proceeds enabled the Borrower to unlock equity from the land to complete construction on an adjacent, newly built investment property. During due diligence, a previously recorded lien—erroneously placed on the subject parcel by a prior lender—was discovered and removed, allowing Myers Capital Hawaii to record a clean first-lien position. The Borrower, a West Coast–based design/build engineer and majority owner of a family-operated construction firm who had excellent credit, plans to refinance the newly completed home as the exit strategy. The subject property is approximately 15,435 square feet set in a 0.35-acre lot. The interest rate was fixed at 13.75%. The loan term was set at 12 months. This bridge loan was funded in December 2025.

Stormfield Capital sees strong bridge lending opportunities across Connecticut — from luxury coastal markets to more moderate suburban areas.

Along Connecticut’s “Gold Coast” in Fairfield County, the focus is often on higher-value single-family homes in towns like Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, and Fairfield.

Many of these markets have median home values exceeding $1.5M and continue to benefit from their proximity to New York City.

At the same time, Stormfield is also active in more affordable markets across New Haven County and surrounding areas, where average home values are closer to $500K.

As fix-and-flip opportunities become harder to find, more investors are looking toward ground-up construction as the next step, but the transition requires a different level of experience and oversight.

One of the biggest factors lenders evaluate is the strength of the general contractor. For investors entering ground-up for the first time, having a verified GC becomes critical, which is why some lenders now have dedicated GC verification processes in place.

Lenders are also looking deeper at rehab history. There’s a major difference between cosmetic flips and full-gut renovations. Investors with experience managing heavy rehab projects are often viewed as better positioned for new construction and may qualify for stronger terms.

In today’s market, moving from flips to ground-up isn’t just about finding new opportunities; it’s about proving operational experience and building the right team around the project.

🎙 Tune in to Rocky Butani’s interview with Bryan Ziegenfuse and Chris Tereo of i Fund Cities as they break down the company’s 2025 growth and cover trends in construction, fix & flip, and DSCR lending, as well as insights on 2026 market expectations: https://pllk.io/pod24

Table funding in private lending is a structure where the originator appears as the lender on the loan documents, even though another party is actually providing the capital.

Here’s how it works:

🔹 The originator closes the loan in their own name
🔹 The actual funding comes from a third-party lender at closing
🔹 At the same time, the borrower signs the documents, the loan is assigned to the true capital provider

It’s similar to white labeling, but with one major difference: the originator is listed directly as the lender instead of using a separate entity name.

Why does this matter? Because the structure can change the licensing and compliance requirements.

Depending on the state, acting as the named lender or assigning the loan immediately after closing may trigger lender licensing or loan sale regulations, even if broker licensing wasn’t previously required.

For lenders and originators, understanding these distinctions is critical when structuring wholesale and table-funded transactions.

F2 Finance has remained selective on land bridge loans — but they’re still finding opportunities in the Los Angeles market.

Over the past 12 months, the firm has funded several land deals in Pacific Palisades, primarily for experienced borrowers with a track record of building homes.

Key characteristics of the deals:
🔹 Low leverage structures, typically around 50–60% LTV
🔹 Focus on land acquisition rather than construction financing
🔹 Borrowers looking to move quickly on opportunities in a changing market

The approach reflects a cautious but opportunistic strategy: backing experienced operators while maintaining conservative leverage on land assets.

🎙 Tune in to Rocky Butani’s interview with Christian Faes, CEO of F2 Finance, to learn more about F2’s balance sheet lending model, bridge loan guidelines, land and commercial deal appetite, state-by-state strategy, and how they compete in a highly competitive private lending market: https://pllk.io/pod26

Coastal Equity Group is seeing a shift in investor activity. Ground-up construction has become their dominant lending program over the past 18 months.

The focus remains primarily on:
🔹 One-to-four unit residential construction
🔹 Single-property builds
🔹Smaller subdivisions, typically up to 15 lots

As fix-and-flip opportunities become harder to find, many experienced investors are moving into new construction to continue scaling their businesses.
