With more than $1 billion funded, YouLand is the leading private lending company specializing in hard money loans for residential real estate investors. Leveraging advanced data, technology and AI, we offer a simpler, reliable, and faster way for investors to secure the capital they need to expand their businesses.

At YouLand, we offer bridge loans for short-term financing, fix and flip loans for purchase and renovation, and ground-up construction loans for long-term construction financing.

  • Bridge Loans: Short-term financing solution used to bridge the gap between buying a new property and selling an existing one. We focus lending to “stabilized” properties that do not require extensive rehabilitation.
  • Fix and Flip Loans: Short-term loans designed to cover both immediate purchase and renovation costs of properties intended for resale.
  • Ground-Up Construction Loans: Loans used to finance the construction of new properties from the ground up.

YouLand offers loans to single-family homes (1-4 units), multifamily properties (5-29 units), as well as condominiums.

At the moment, we strictly do not provide loan for: commercial real estate (office, retail, and hospitality), rural property, land, mobile home, manufactured home, halfway housing, senior care facility, or any housing that are age restricted. We also do not provide any 2nd liens loan and cash out refinancing for properties with deferred maintenance.
