Why Borrowers Choose Trato

A lender shouldn't become another risk in your deal.

We built Trato to run on software instead of headcount. AI does the reading, sorting, and checking. People make the decisions.

Terms while the deal is still live

Your scenario gets reviewed the day it lands instead of sitting in a queue behind a hundred others. Indicative terms come back quickly enough to keep the property under contract.

Pricing without the overhead

We do not carry layers of coordinators, so our costs are not padded to cover them. Rates start at 9.00% and every deal is quoted on its own merits, subject to underwriting.

A team that reads the deal

Software handles the documents and the checks. A person who has underwritten deals like yours looks at the asset, the comps, and the exit before terms go out.

Maximum leverage subject to borrower experience, FICO, and property location. Indicative terms only, subject to underwriting. Lending in 44 states, with eligibility confirmed per deal.

What borrowers say

Verified reviews from Google
As a newer investor I was nervous about hard money lenders, but Trato made the process clear and straight forward. They walked me through the purchase + rehab financing and funded 85% of the total project cost. Closed in six days with zero surprises at the closing table.

Tom

Fix & Flip Investor

Trato Lending closed our fix & flip in 7 business days when another lender dropped the deal. No tax returns, no income docs. Just focused on the asset. Funds hit on time and we were able to secure the property under contract.

Jay R.

Fix & Flip Investor

Trato Lending was incredible to work with. My loan was complex and several lenders couldn't understand or structure the deal. The team at Trato actually listened, took the time to understand the situation, and worked hard to find a solution.

WHO YOU ARE WORKING WITH

Built by operators, not loan processors.

Trato is run by a team with backgrounds in fintech, real estate, and private credit. We underwrite every file in house, so the person who answers your first call is the person who signs off on your terms. No call centers, no handoffs, no committee sitting between you and an answer.

We read the asset, the comps, and your exit before we read anything about your tax filings. If the deal works, you will hear it fast.
