About The Lender Market
News and intelligence for the people who originate, fund and broker private real estate loans.
The Lender Market covers the business of private lending: hard-money and fix-and-flip loans, bridge and construction credit, debt funds, warehouse lines and the capital providers behind them.
Our readers are lenders, mortgage and commercial brokers, fund managers, note buyers and the operators who keep loan portfolios running. We focus on what changes their cost of capital, their underwriting and their pipeline.
What we cover
- Rates & Markets: Federal Reserve policy, Treasury yields, the prime rate and how they reach private-loan pricing.
- Private Credit: Debt funds, bridge lenders and the growing role of non-bank capital in real estate.
- Hard Money: Short-term investor lending, from fix-and-flip to ground-up construction.
- Capital & Funding: Warehouse and credit facilities, note sales, fund raising and capital partners.
- Lender Operations: Underwriting, servicing, compliance, fraud prevention and technology.
