About

2008
Year Founded
TaliMar Financial is a San Diego, California-based direct hard money lender and mortgage debt fund that has been the preferred bridge lender for California real estate investors since 2008. The firm is licensed as a California Direct Lender (CA DRE 01889802 / NMLS 337721) and operates the TaliMar Income Fund, a private mortgage fund investing in real estate debt. TaliMar specializes in bridge loans, fix-and-flip, new construction, and DSCR rental financing for both residential and commercial California real estate. Loan amounts range from $50,000 to $10,000,000 at rates from 7.99% to 12%, with 1-4 origination points, up to 70% LTV and 75% LTC. The firm closes in as fast as 5 days with no appraisal required in most cases and no income or credit verification. Unique products include an Owner-Occupied Consumer Bridge loan for move-up buyers and homeowners needing to purchase before selling, and a Reverse 1031 Exchange Bridge for investors navigating exchange timing requirements. TaliMar also offers 2nd Trust Deeds on business purpose loans and ADU construction financing. Property types span SFR, multifamily, apartment, office, retail, hotel, storage, mixed-use, warehouse, industrial, medical, church, and land. The firm serves non-owner-occupied investment properties statewide throughout California from its San Diego headquarters.

Key Differentiators

Why investors choose this lender:

  • No minimum FICO, no income verification, no appraisal in most cases - TaliMar Financial's aggressive California lending parameters accept poor credit, require no W-2s or tax returns, and bypass slow appraisal processes; deals close in as fast as 5 days because qualification is built on property value and deal merit alone
  • $50K to $10M across every California property type - residential and commercial - SFR, multifamily, apartment, office, retail, hotel, storage, assisted living, mixed-use, warehouse, industrial, medical, church; very few California hard money lenders have a genuine commercial lending capability at this scale alongside a residential fix-and-flip program
  • Owner-Occupied Consumer Bridge - purchase before sell for homeowners - a licensed consumer bridge product for owner-occupants who need to buy a new primary residence before their current home sells; this is a rare product that hard money investors rarely offer and makes TaliMar a resource for mortgage brokers referring non-investor clients
  • Reverse 1031 Exchange bridge financing - a specialized product for investors navigating the timing requirements of a reverse 1031 exchange, where the replacement property must be identified and purchased before the relinquished property is sold; few lenders structure this product correctly
  • Direct lender AND debt fund since 2008 - capital certainty on every deal - TaliMar lends from its own balance sheet through the TaliMar Income Fund; no investor committees, no broker chains, no last-minute funding uncertainty; 16+ years of direct lending in California with the capital depth to fund complex multi-million dollar deals
  • 2nd Trust Deed lending on business purpose loans - TaliMar funds 2nd position trust deeds on investment properties, a product most hard money lenders decline; this opens capital access for investors who have equity but an existing 1st position lien
