Our Story

Private Lending, Done Directly

CPL Finance was founded to close the gap between traditional bank financing and the pace real estate investors actually operate at. As a direct private money lender, we underwrite and fund deals in-house — not through a broker chain — so decisions move at the speed of the opportunity.

  • Direct capital: we underwrite and fund every deal ourselves.
  • Asset-based lending: decisions are grounded in the value of the property.
  • Built for real estate investors, not retail borrowers.
  • Long-term relationships across residential, commercial, and industrial deals.

Our Approach

What Guides How We Lend

Four principles shape every loan we make.

01

Asset First

We underwrite the property and the plan, not just a credit file.

02

Straight Talk

Clear terms, direct communication, no hidden layers of approval.

03

Discipline

Risk-aware structuring protects both the borrower and the loan.

04

Long-Term View

We aim to fund the next deal, and the one after that.
