Baton Rouge, LA's Trusted Hard Money Lender for Real Estate Investors

Baton Rouge's economy runs on two engines — LSU's steady student and university-adjacent demand, and the petrochemical corridor along the Mississippi River that anchors thousands of stable, high-wage jobs. Investors renovating Garden District cottages or repositioning rentals near Mid City are working in a market where local knowledge and fast capital both matter.

Unitas Funding provides private real estate loans for investors throughout Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish — fix-and-flip, new construction, bridge, and DSCR rental financing up to $4.5M. With $4.5 billion funded nationally, we bring the speed Baton Rouge investors need to compete.
