Year Founded
Crossroads Investment Lending is a locally owned hard money lender founded in 2014 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, serving the Greater Kansas City metro area across 9 Missouri counties and 8 Kansas counties. Founded by real estate investors who have personally flipped over 1,500 houses, the Crossroads team brings operator-level deal intelligence to every loan decision. With 760+ loans funded and over $100 million in capital deployed - now running at 205 loans per year - they are the highest-volume local hard money lender in the KC market.
