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.

Kiavi is a good company, but what makes it an excellent company for me is my Kiavi liaison, Lina Kawas. Lina’s communication is excellent. Her demeanor and attention to detail are significant. I can always count on her to get me any information I need to make the process easier.

Great rates and service!
By Nicole C.
I've had the pleasure of working with Lina, and she has consistently exceeded my expectations. She is professional and responsible and always provides clear, informative updates. Lina acts promptly and efficiently, ensuring everything gets done on time. She maintains a high level of professionalism while still being approachable and kind. I so appreciate her. Kiavi has been our go-to lender for the last three years, for both fix and flips and DSCR loans.
