Louisiana's Trusted Hard Money Lender for Real Estate Investors
Louisiana's housing markets are as varied as its culture. New Orleans offers historic shotgun houses and strong short-term demand. Baton Rouge has state government, LSU, and a large petrochemical corridor. Lafayette anchors Acadiana, and Shreveport serves northwest Louisiana.
Unitas Funding lends to Louisiana investors on fix-and-flip, new construction, bridge, and DSCR rental projects. Pelican State borrowers can finance up to 92.5% of project cost at rates from 8.99%, with $4.5 billion in funded loans behind every closing.

Fast, Reliable Capital for Your Next Louisiana Deal
Many Louisiana homes need updates for modern buyers, from new systems to elevation and flood-aware improvements. Unitas pre-approves in 24 hours and closes most loans in about 10 business days.
Fix & Flip Loans
Shotgun doubles in New Orleans, mid-century ranches in Baton Rouge, and older homes in Lafayette and Shreveport are steady renovation projects. Unitas funds purchase and rehab together.
New Construction Loans
Suburbs around Baton Rouge and Lafayette, along with the Northshore across Lake Pontchartrain, continue to add new homes. Our construction loans release draws in 24–48 hours.
Bridge Loans
Need to close on a Louisiana property before your current one sells? A Unitas bridge loan gives you 12-, 18-, or 24-month interest-only capital.
DSCR Loans for Rental Properties
LSU, Tulane, Ochsner Health, the port, and the energy sector keep Louisiana rental demand steady. Our DSCR loans qualify the property on its rent, not your personal income.
