About

1975
Year Founded
Fairview Commercial Lending is an Atlanta, Georgia-based direct portfolio lender providing hard money and bridge loans on residential investment and commercial properties since 1975. The firm lends its own funds, services its own loans, and makes all underwriting decisions in-house with no appraisals and zero upfront fees. Fairview holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been recognized by Colorado Biz Magazine, the Denver Post, and Mortgage Professional America as an industry leader in private capital lending. The firm serves Georgia, Colorado, Florida, and Illinois (Chicago metro for commercial). Residential loans cover NOO investment single-family homes and duplexes only. Loan amounts run from $150,000 to $2,000,000, with LTVs up to 50-60% of current value or purchase price - not ARV. Fairview explicitly does not lend on after-repair value. Loan terms run up to 10 years with flexible amortization or interest-only options. Closings in 5-10 business days with no appraisals required. Fairview accepts all credit including prior bankruptcies and foreclosures, no income verification, and works with individuals, LLCs, corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, and foreign nationals. Can lend on properties listed for sale or currently in default. Unlimited cash-out for any business reason.

Key Differentiators

Why investors choose this lender:

  • Zero upfront fees - no appraisal, no application, no processing fees - Fairview charges no upfront fees of any kind before closing; no appraisal cost, no application fee, no processing fee; the entire underwriting is handled in-house by Fairview staff at no cost to the borrower, removing a common friction point that eliminates deals before they start
  • Direct portfolio lender since 1975 - lends its own funds, services its own loans - Fairview has been lending its own capital since 1975; no third-party investor committees, no warehouse line approval delays, no broker middlemen; the same team that takes your application makes the funding decision, enabling common-sense underwriting on complex deals most lenders cannot touch
  • 10-year loan terms on hard money - rare in the private lending market - while most hard money lenders cap terms at 12-24 months, Fairview offers terms up to 10 years with flexible amortization or interest-only structures; this is highly unusual in hard money and gives borrowers holding repositioning or value-add assets the runway they need without forced refinance pressure
  • Can lend on properties in default or listed for sale - deals other lenders won't touch - Fairview explicitly lends on properties currently in default (note called, etc.) and properties actively listed for sale; most hard money lenders refuse both; this makes Fairview a critical capital source for distressed acquisitions, foreclosure avoidance, and estate or probate scenarios
  • A+ BBB rating, no minimum FICO, unlimited cash-out - Fairview has maintained an A+ Better Business Bureau rating through decades of lending; accepts all credit including prior bankruptcies and foreclosures; offers unlimited cash-out for any business purpose with no restrictions on use of proceeds
  • Foreign nationals accepted with no income verification - Fairview accepts foreign national borrowers with no income verification, no W-2s, and no tax returns required; qualification is based entirely on the property; a meaningful differentiator for international investors active in Georgia, Colorado, and Florida markets
