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.

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, non-owner occupied residential, and entitled land.
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.
