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.

I started my first renovation a year ago with Nathan Parente and we have since exploded to over 5 in under 12 months with his guidance and support. We have had no hiccups and it has been a relationship I’m excited about continuing to grow!

I have been working with Kiavi for almost a year now, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. As a real estate investor, I've dealt with various lenders, but this company consistently stands out for their professionalism, efficiency, and competitive rates. A special shoutout goes to Haley D, our Account Manager. Haley has been incredibly helpful and knowledgable throughout every interaction. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond have made each transaction run so smoothly. Whenever we have questions or need assistance, Haley is always quick to respond with clear and concise answers. The terms have always been fair, and the funding is delivered promptly, enabling us to stay on schedule with our timelines. The overall process is transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. They also recently changed some of their terms, to make things were more beneficial for the customer. I highly recommend Kiavi to anyone in need of hard money lending. With their exceptional service and dedicated team, particularly Haley, they have earned my trust and future business time and time again.

The process was easy and painless. Kiavi’s user interface is incredibly intuitive and user friendly. My loan officer, Zach, was responsive and a great help with the many questions I had as a relatively new investor using HML for the first time. Communication with Zach and the rest of the team was quick and on point even for me being a control freak 😂. They offer competitive rates. Have closed with them 2 loans purchase-rehab and refi-cash-out. Sure more to come! Would definitely recommend to others!

Everyone was truly a pleasure to work with and it didn't feel like just a process to deal with. It was my first loan process and Zach and Craig were both great, responsive, and informative during our interactions and with any questions I had.
