Year Founded
Northwest Private Lending (NWPL) is a Lake Oswego, Oregon-based direct private lender founded in 2016, born from a family lending background with over 30 years of regional experience. The firm has funded over $750 million in loans and operates offices in Lake Oswego/Portland, Boise Idaho, and Bellevue Washington. NMLS #1522364. NWPL provides hard money loans exclusively in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho for non-owner-occupied investment properties. Loan products include fix-and-flip, bridge, rehab and refinance, commercial/industrial, construction, 1031 and reverse 1031 exchange, and acquisition loans. Loan amounts range from $50,000 to $2,000,000. The firm funds its own loans and makes in-house property valuations - no appraisal required at any stage. LTV typically 60-80%, with 100% LTV available via cross-collateralization of other investment properties. Rate is 12-14% (1% per month), interest-only. Terms run 1 month to 2 years; most loans conclude in 6-9 months. Standard structure is a 1-year term with a $0 extension on performing loans. No prepayment penalty ever. No underwriting fee. Close in 3-5 business days; same-day pre-approval letters available. NWPL is known as a family-operated team: Erik, Eric, and Liz are commonly mentioned by borrowers by name. The firm also supports 1031 and Reverse 1031 exchange bridge financing - a specialized product that most hard money lenders do not formally offer.

Key Differentiators

Why investors choose this lender:

  • $0 extension fee on performing loans - zero penalty for taking more time - NWPL charges no extension fee on loans where the borrower is performing; this removes a major cost anxiety for fix-and-flip and construction borrowers whose projects run over timeline; combined with no prepayment penalty, there is no fee pressure from either direction
  • 100% LTV available with cross-collateralization - rare in hard money - NWPL will consider 100% LTV loans where the borrower pledges additional NOO investment properties as cross-collateral; this enables investors with existing real estate equity to acquire new properties with little to no cash out of pocket
  • 1031 and Reverse 1031 exchange bridge loans - formally offered program - NWPL has a dedicated 1031 and Reverse 1031 loan product for investors executing tax-deferred exchanges; the 1031 bridge loan covers the acquisition timing gap when the replacement property needs to close before the relinquished property sells; very few hard money lenders formally support 1031 exchange scenarios
  • No appraisal required at any stage - in-house valuation only - NWPL funds its own loans and makes its own internal property value determinations; no third-party appraisal is required at origination or during the draw process; saves borrowers $500-$950 per loan and eliminates a 1-2 week delay in the closing timeline
  • Same-day pre-approval letters - act like a cash buyer immediately - NWPL issues same-day pre-approval letters, allowing investors to make all-cash-equivalent offers on competitive properties the same day they contact the lender; closes in 3-5 business days, with 2-day closings available for time-critical transactions
  • $750M+ funded since 2016 - family-operated Pacific Northwest team - NWPL was founded in 2016 from a family with 30 years of regional lending experience and has funded over $750 million in loans; Erik, Eric, and Liz are known by name to borrowers across Portland, Boise, and Bellevue; a tight-knit local team operating offices in all three states
