Looking for an Arizona hard money lender that underwrites like an operator, not a retail bank? Lendoor is an Arizona-based private real estate lender and Arizona-registered direct lender with in-house underwriting. We fund fix & flip, ground-up construction, bridge, and DSCR loans for active investors, terms in 24 hours, most deals closing in days.

If you buy, build, or refinance investment property in Arizona (or nationwide), this page is your program map: who we serve, how hard money differs from banks here, the live numbers on our four programs, and how to submit your deal.

Who It is For

This page is written for people who already run deals, not for first-time homebuyers shopping a 30-year purchase mortgage.

Builders and ground-up sponsors running 1-20 unit spec, ADUs, infill, or build-to-rent who need construction capital with interest reserves and clear LTC/LTV caps.

Fix-and-flip and heavy-rehab investors buying SFH, 2-4 unit, or luxury assets who need rehab dollars stacked with purchase leverage, and who want a lender that prices experience and credit honestly.

Bridge and 1031 buyers who need speed on auction, portfolio stabilization, or bridge-to-long-term without a rehab scope, and without prepayment friction on the bridge product.

DSCR and cash-flow investors holding or acquiring SFR, STR, 2-10 unit, or BRRRR refis who want long-term debt underwritten on property cash flow, not W-2s and tax returns.

If that is you, Arizona hard money loans from a direct lender are usually a better fit than waiting on a conventional credit committee. If you want the education layer first, start with Hard Money Lenders Explained and our Hard Money vs Conventional Loan breakdown.

Hard Money vs Banks in Arizona

Banks and hard money lenders in Arizona serve different jobs. Banks optimize for documented personal income, long amortizations, and low rate at the cost of time and condition lists. A private money lender that Arizona investors use for flips, construction, and bridge, hard money included, optimizes for the asset, the exit, and the operator track record.
