Lakeville Funding was founded by NYC property developers — not bankers. We built our lending business because we know exactly what it feels like to be on your side of the table.
Lakeville Funding is a private residential bridge lender founded by New York City property developers. We fund fix & flip acquisitions, new construction, multifamily plays, and everything in between — from $100K to $10M. We built this firm because we spent years on your side of the table and kept running into lenders who didn't understand the business.
Tell us about your deal. We structure terms around your specific asset, timeline, and exit — not a generic rate sheet. Every loan is underwritten by the same people who will pick up the phone when you call.
Flexible bridge financing structured around your deal — not a generic rate sheet. From single-family flips to ground-up construction across the New York metro area.
Our founders spent years as NYC property developers before starting Lakeville. When you bring us a deal, we're not learning your world — we already know it. That experience shapes how we read a deal, structure a loan, and show up when things get complicated.
Your property, your plan, your exit — not a credit checklist.
No products off a shelf. Terms built around your specific deal.
You work with our team — and every decision gets to the people who can say yes.
We've been the borrower. We built Lakeville so a lender never goes dark on you or changes terms at the last minute.
Lakeville Funding is a direct private real estate bridge lender based in New York. We lend our own capital, make our own decisions, and stay involved through every step of the loan.
We were founded by property developers who spent years on the borrower's side of the table. That experience is the foundation of how we work. We understand what's at stake when a deal needs to close, and we show up accordingly.
"We weren't bankers who decided to do real estate lending. We were developers who got tired of bad lenders and decided to become a good one."
Tell us about your deal and we'll identify the right structure. Every term sheet is tailored — we don't hand you a product off a shelf.

Lakeville Funding provides accredited investors with direct participation in our private lending portfolio — secured returns backed by first-lien mortgage positions, underwritten to the standards of our New York roots.
Every loan in our portfolio is secured by a first-lien position on the underlying real property — placing our investors at the top of the capital stack.
Interest income is distributed to investors on a quarterly basis, providing consistent, predictable returns tied directly to active loan performance.
Capital is deployed across multiple asset types and geographies, reducing concentration risk and ensuring no single loan represents an outsized exposure.
Every loan is underwritten by principals with decades of operator experience. We apply rigorous LTV thresholds because we've been on the borrower's side — and we know where deals go wrong.
Whether you've got a deal under contract or you're still scoping things out, reach out — no question is too basic and no deal is too early to talk about.
