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.

Nathan Parente and Mark Shondelmyer are awesome to work with. My 2nd deal with them this year and I look forward to many more. Approval process, draw, closing are all streamlined and easy to work with. You can count on these guys to perform.

This is honestly the best hard money lender I have worked with, I have already closed two loans with them, and they are so easy to work with. Tyler Rodman is my account manager and he is just great in ensuring I have the best experience. Thank you Tyler so much for all the support and looking forward to many more deals working with you!

JP has been great at taking care of us on our flips, very responsive and helpful. Very professional and always tries to figure out how to get our deals done. Kiavi has given us the best terms out of all the companies that we have tried and will more than likely continue working with them in the future.
