Iowa's Trusted Hard Money Lender for Real Estate Investors
Iowa's economy is steadier than many investors expect. Des Moines is a national center for insurance and financial services, Cedar Rapids has a strong manufacturing base, and the University of Iowa and Iowa State University fill rentals in Iowa City and Ames every year.
Unitas Funding provides Iowa investors with fix-and-flip, new construction, bridge, and DSCR rental loans. Hawkeye State borrowers can finance up to 92.5% of project cost at rates from 8.99%, from a lender with $4.5 billion funded.

Fast, Reliable Capital for Your Next Iowa Deal
Affordable home prices and healthy rents give Iowa investors numbers that work on both flips and long-term holds. Unitas pre-approves in 24 hours and closes most loans in about 10 business days.
Fix & Flip Loans
Older four-squares and bungalows in Des Moines, Davenport, and Cedar Rapids are good renovation candidates. Unitas funds purchase and rehab together with 12-, 18-, or 24-month interest-only terms.
New Construction Loans
Suburbs west of Des Moines, such as Waukee, Ankeny, and Grimes, keep adding new homes. Our construction loans fund the full build, with draws in 24–48 hours.
Bridge Loans
Need to close on an Iowa property before your current project sells? A Unitas bridge loan covers the gap.
DSCR Loans for Rental Properties
Insurance and finance employers in Des Moines, plus large student populations in Iowa City and Ames, keep rental demand steady. Our DSCR loans qualify the property on its rental income.
