With more than $18B in funded loans and 50,000+ projects nationwide, Kiavi is one of the nation’s largest private lenders to residential real estate investors (REIs). Kiavi harnesses the power of data & technology to offer REIs a simpler, more reliable, and faster way to access the capital they need to scale their businesses. Formerly known as LendingHome, Kiavi is committed to helping its customers revitalize the approximately $25 trillion worth of aged U.S. housing stock to provide move-in ready homes and rental housing for millions of Americans across the country. Traditional lenders rely on human decision-makers and paper-based processes. At Kiavi, our modern tech platform removes many traditional barriers, automates time-consuming manual steps and provides quick decisioning and true transparency throughout the entire process. With a wide range of bridge and rental funding options to choose from, Kiavi’s team of experts can create a personalized solution for our customer's investment strategy. Homeownership has always been an important part of American life. But now, just as Millennials are hitting the peak age for buying their first homes, fewer new homes are being built. In fact, today there are 33%1 fewer new homes constructed than just 15 years ago. Over 65 percent of the U.S. housing stock is more than 30 years old and in need of upgrading and renovating. And as the demand for move-in-ready homes continues to grow, residential real estate investors are needed more than ever. Kiavi is committed and proud to support today’s real estate investors in their efforts to revitalize these aged homes and provide move-in-ready homes and rental housing. NMLS ID #1125207.

Maria is the absolute best! 2 times in a row we had to put deals together for super fast closings! She made it happen so that both deals closed right on time! Amazing experience and I highly recommend!

Alex Caddo was over my Bridge and Flip loan and was absolutely wonderful to work with! The team behind her was equally communicative and pleasant to work with. I will absolutely be working with them again on all future Bridge and Flip projects. Also, Alex was by the phone and always ready to help as we negotiated and weighed other properties before going with this one. I would recommend Kiavi full heartedly to anyone looking for Hard Money Loans (A+)

I've worked with a lot of people across every corner of my real estate business, and Kristin Chang at Kiavi is simply the best. She is the most efficient, dialed-in, and on-top-of-it lender I've ever dealt with—nothing slips through the cracks, questions get answered fast, and deals move exactly the way they should. She's the standard I hold everyone I do business with to. Professional, sharp, and completely reliable. Because of her, I plan to keep working with Kiavi for years to come. If you want a lender who actually makes your deals easier, ask for Kristin.

I usually don’t do reviews, but I’ll do a review for this one. So far I’ve been using loans with Kiavi for multiple properties. The system is intuitive easier to follow and the team is responsive. Big shout out for my recent cashback refi loan that I recently did, shout out to Haley Deffenbaugh & Kellie Rossi. they made my cashback refi, quick fast and easy. They were very responsive in the updated me throughout the process. I was on a time crunch and they made it happen. Good job Kiavi Team.
