Every Deal Type. Separate Matching Logic.

Hard money is not one loan type. The criteria that matter for a fix and flip (ARV, rehab budget, contractor experience) are completely different from what matters for a DSCR rental (debt service coverage, property cash flow) or ground-up construction (draw schedules, builder exits, vertical vs. horizontal). Broker Cheetah treats each deal type differently — because lenders do.

Fix & Flip

ARV-based underwriting, rehab budget inclusion, contractor experience. Match to lenders who know how to move fast on a purchase-plus-rehab deal.

Fix & Flip Investor Page →
DSCR Rental

Debt service coverage, long-term hold, property-based qualification. Find lenders who underwrite on the property's income instead of your personal financials.

Investor Page →
Bridge Loans

Speed, short-term hold, exit-strategy dependent. Match to lenders who prioritize close speed and asset quality over borrower credit.

New Construction

Draw schedules, ground-up LTC, spec builder exits. Find lenders who actually understand construction financing — not just lenders who say they do.

GC Fix & Flip

Contractor experience as a credit factor. Find lenders who see your GC background as an asset, not a risk.

How the Matching Works for Investors

You describe the deal. Broker Cheetah does the lender research you would otherwise do by hand — checking each lender's states, loan types, LTC ranges, minimums, and experience requirements against your numbers. The result is a short list of lenders who actually fund deals like yours, with their criteria visible before the first call. No more discovering on call number three that a lender does not fund your state.

The matching is deterministic — built on lender underwriting data collected through direct relationships, not AI guessing. The same deal returns the same matches every time.


Why Speed Wins Deals

In competitive markets, the investor who can show proof of funds and a credible lender first wins the property. Broker Cheetah compresses the lender search from days to minutes: enter the deal, see matched lenders, send quote requests to several at once, compare term sheets as they arrive. When your closing window is 14 days, you cannot afford to spend five of them finding a lender.


Built for Every Experience Level

Borrower experience is a first-class matching criterion. First-time flippers get matched to lenders with new-investor programs — not lenders who require five closed deals. Experienced operators get matched on the criteria that matter at scale: LTC, speed, rehab budget inclusion, and draw schedules. Either way, you stop guessing which lenders fit and start talking to the ones that do.


Real Estate Investor FAQs

How do I find a hard money lender for a fix and flip?

Enter your deal — purchase price, rehab budget, ARV, state, experience level — and get matched against 200+ lenders' actual underwriting criteria.

Can Broker Cheetah match DSCR rental loans?

Yes, with separate matching logic based on debt service coverage and property cash flow — because lenders underwrite DSCR differently than flips.

How fast can I get matched with lenders?

About two minutes from deal entry to matched list. Quote requests go out to several lenders at once, so you can compare term sheets the same day.

Does it work for new investors with no track record?

Yes. Experience level is a matching criterion, so new investors see lenders with new-investor programs instead of wasting time on lenders who require a track record.

What does it cost?

Every email-verified account starts with 5 shared Credits and no card required. Paid plans start with Minimum at $99/month, and never-expiring Credit packs start at $40.


Stop Burning Days on the Wrong Lenders

Every day you spend calling lenders who do not fund your state, your deal type, or your LTC is a day your closing window gets shorter. Broker Cheetah compresses that search from days to minutes.
