Private money, without the runaround.

We're a private lender for real estate investors — fix & flips, rentals, bridge deals, new builds, and small multifamily — and a funding source for the businesses behind them. You bring the deal. If it fits our box, we fund it. If it doesn't, we'll find the lender that will. Either way, you get a straight answer.

What we fund

If it's an investment property, we can probably fund it.

Everything we fund or arrange is business-purpose and non-owner-occupied. No primary residences — just investment real estate.

Fix & Flip

Purchase and rehab financing for value-add projects, from cosmetic updates to full guts.

DSCR Rentals

Long-term rental loans qualified on the property's cash flow — purchases, rate-and-term, and cash-out refis.

Bridge Loans

Short-term capital to close fast, pull equity, or carry a property between strategies.

BRRRR

Financing built around the buy-rehab-rent-refinance playbook, from acquisition through the refi out.

New Construction

Ground-up funding for builders and investors with a solid plan and a real budget.

Small Multifamily

Financing for small multifamily investment properties, structured around the deal and the numbers.

Beyond real estate

Business funding, too.

Running a business that needs capital — not just a property deal? We've got that covered as well. Working capital, equipment, a line of credit to smooth out cash flow — funding can move in as little as 24 hours, and less-than-perfect credit isn't a dealbreaker.

Straight talk

What makes a deal fundable

We'd rather tell you the truth in five minutes than waste two weeks of your time. Here's what we look for, and what you can expect from us.

What we need to see

  • First lien position. The lender's money is secured first — no seconds, no gap funding stacked on top.
  • Real equity in the deal. You have skin in the game. 100% financing requests are a non-starter.
  • Cash reserves. Enough liquidity to carry the project when things take longer than planned — because they usually do.
  • A clear plan. Purchase price, rehab budget, ARV or rents, and an exit that makes sense on paper.

What you'll get from us

  • A straight answer, fast. If your deal isn't fundable, we'll tell you why — and what would change that.
  • Our capital or our network's. If your deal fits our lending box, we fund it. If it doesn't, we place it with a lender who wants exactly that asset type and market.
  • Every fee in writing, upfront. You'll see all points and fees in writing and sign off before anything moves forward. No surprises at the closing table.
  • A long-term funding partner. We're building relationships, not chasing one-off closings.

How it works

Three steps between you and a term sheet

1.

Submit your deal

Apply through our lending portal, or fill out our deal submission form — either takes about five minutes. The more detail you give us, the faster we can move.

2.

We size it up

If it fits our lending box, we move straight toward terms. If it doesn't, we package it and put it in front of the network lenders best suited for it.

3.

You get real terms

We bring you actual terms — rate, leverage, points, timeline — and walk you through them so you can decide with clear eyes.

About us

The story behind the moose

Moose's Money exists because too many investors were getting bounced between lenders who ghosted them, quoted terms that changed at the closing table, or strung them along on deals that were never going to fund.

We fund deals that fit our box, and for everything else we've built a network of private lenders we trust. We invest in real estate ourselves, so we know exactly what it feels like to be on your side of the table waiting for an answer.

If your deal works, we'll get it funded — by us or by the right lender for it. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too, and tell you what it would take to make it work. Either way, you'll get the truth.

Where we lend: We fund business-purpose loans for investors in most U.S. states. Lending rules vary by state, so if your property is in California, Arizona, Nevada, Vermont, or the Dakotas, reach out first and we'll let you know what's possible. In Oregon, Idaho, and Utah we work on commercial and 5+ unit multifamily only.

Questions

Straight answers to common questions

The stuff investors ask us most.

Do you lend on primary residences?
No. Everything we do is business-purpose and non-owner-occupied — investment property only. If you plan to live in it, we're not the right fit.
How fast can you close?
It depends on the deal, the appraisal, and how quickly we get what we need from you. Clean files move faster. Once we have a complete package, we push hard to get you to the closing table without the runaround.
What states do you lend in?
Most of them. Lending rules vary by state, so a few have restrictions or aren't available. If your property is in California, Arizona, Nevada, New York, Nebraska, Vermont, or the Dakotas, reach out first and we'll tell you what's possible. In Oregon, Idaho, and Utah we work on commercial and 5+ unit multifamily only.
Do I need previous experience?
Not for fix & flip — first-timers are welcome. Ground-up construction does require some track record, generally one to two prior builds. Every deal is judged on its own merits.
What credit score do I need?
It varies by product. Fix & flip has no minimum FICO requirement. Rental (DSCR) and bridge loans generally start at a 660 FICO; rental portfolios at 680. Stronger credit gets you better pricing.
Do you require a personal guarantee?
Yes. Our loans are full recourse and require an entity borrower — an LLC or corporation — with a personal guarantee. We don't lend to individuals in their own name.
Will you finance 100% of my deal?
No. You need real equity in the deal and cash reserves to carry it. 100% financing requests are a non-starter. We're happy to tell you upfront what leverage a deal can support.

For lenders

Got capital to place? Let's work.

We fund most of what comes across our desk ourselves. But we don't lend on everything — and when a solid deal falls outside our box, we'd rather place it than pass on it. That's where you come in. What you get: packaged, pre-screened deals — first lien position, real borrower equity, cash reserves verified — matched to the asset types, markets, and loan sizes you actually want. No spray-and-pray submissions.

Tell us your lending box and we'll bring you deals that fit it.
