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. 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 to 5 days, with same-day turnaround possible on a complete package. 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. 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
