Year Founded
Iron Bridge Lending is a Portland, Oregon-based portfolio lender founded in 2009, focused exclusively on investment real estate financing. With over $1.7 billion in total loan originations across more than 5,200 projects, Iron Bridge is one of the most established private lenders in the Pacific Northwest.</p><p>The company specializes in fix-and-flip, bridge, and ground-up construction loans for single-family and multi-family residential properties. Iron Bridge originates, underwrites, and services every loan in-house — they do not broker loans, sell loans to investors, or require third-party approvals. This fully internalized model is the foundation of their speed and reliability: established borrowers can receive funding in 2–5 days, with same-day turnaround possible on a complete package.</p><p>Iron Bridge’s approach is built around a genuine commitment to borrower success. They fund up to 100% of project costs (up to 70% of ARV), require a 10% borrower contribution, and charge interest only on construction funds actually drawn. Every loan is a direct partnership — their team maintains direct access throughout the loan lifecycle, from approval through final draw.</p><p>Licensed in Oregon, California, and additional states including Washington, Colorado, and Idaho, Iron Bridge has financed projects across the Western United States.

Key Differentiators

Why investors choose this lender:

  • True portfolio lender — no third-party approvals, ever — originates, underwrites, and services every loan in-house, enabling same-day decisions and consistent execution from application to payoff
  • 24-hour funding on a complete package — established borrowers fund in 2–5 days; with a fully complete package, funding in 24 hours is achievable regardless of loan size
  • Up to 100% of project costs funded — covers acquisition and full rehab budget up to 70% of ARV, with only a 10% borrower contribution required to keep capital at work
  • Interest charged only on funds drawn — on construction and rehab draws, interest accrues only on the disbursed balance, reducing carry cost significantly vs. lenders who charge on full commitment
  • 17 years and $1.7B+ in originations — one of the most tenured private lenders in the Pacific Northwest, with 5,200+ completed projects across the Western US providing deep market expertise
  • Direct borrower relationships backed by reliability — their stated commitment is "if we tell you we will fund it, we will fund it" — a proven track record that has generated repeat clients funding 30+ projects with the same team
