Founded in 2003, Lone Oak Fund has grown to be one of the top private money lenders in California. Our brand is equated to speed, reliability, and fairness. Our founders' expertise is backed by years of experience in lending, development, investing, management, and real estate law.

 

The Lone Oak program is simple and straightforward:

Short-term first trust deeds with no prepayment penalty, no hidden costs, and interest rates below many of our competitors.

Backed by a $1.3B Fund

We’re a direct lender with capital available to lend when you need it. Because our fund is backed by hundreds of investors, there is no need to source money for each deal. Close quicker with no unnecessary delays.

Fast Decisions

When a deal is sent to Lone Oak Fund, it is processed immediately and sent directly to the loan committee.  We underwrite and make all decisions in-house, and never require appraisals, so there is nothing to slow us down.

Creative Terms

Whether you need a loan for two years or just a month, we’re ready to help. There is never a prepayment penalty, so you don't need to worry about unexpected costs if plans change.

First Trust Deeds

FIRST TRUST DEEDS

Multifamily | Industrial | Office | Retail

 Mixed-Use | Non-Owner Occupied Residential

First Trust Deeds on California Investment Real Estate

Loan Amounts

We lend up to 60% LTV with loan sizes between $1,000,000 and $25,000,000. Need higher leverage? We have strong relationships with trusted 2nd trust deed lenders who have proven their ability to close on time. We can also cross-collateralize additional real estate if needed.

Rates and Fees

Our rates range from 8.50% to 9.50% and our fees from 0.25 point to 2.00 points, depending on term length and loan size. These are real rates and fees; no surprises here

Loan Maturities

As a short-term lender, most of our loans are for 12 months, but we can go as short as 1 month and as long as 24 months. We’re also happy to offer built-in extension terms for the borrower’s convenience and peace of mind.

Loan and Property Types

We are the solution for either a time-sensitive acquisition or an urgent cash-out refinance. We can lend on multifamily, industrial, office, retail, mixed-use, and non-owner occupied residential.

Say goodbye to...

Appraisals

 

Our team does its own internal valuations and never needs an appraisal to get a loan approved.

Sourcing Funds

 

With our unleveraged fund, you never have to worry about a last minute scramble to source capital. When we issue terms, we are ready to make the loan.

Yield Maintenance

 

"Guaranteed interest earned” and “yield maintenance” sound like different ways to say “prepayment penalty" to us. We never require any of these.

Personal Guaranties

 

Sometimes a personal guaranty can be a dealbreaker. Forget about them with Lone Oak Fund.

Prepayment Penalties

 

Pay us off at maturity, two weeks after funding, or whenever the situation changes requires – you’ll never have a prepayment penalty.

Retrading Terms

 

We hear about other lenders changing their terms at the last minute, leaving you with an angry borrower. Our loan documents will share the same terms as our Letter of Intent.
