Rubicon Mortgage Fund, LLC

Who We Are

Northern California's premier direct lender for commercial real estate financing.

Talk to our team

As a private money lender since 2008, Rubicon Mortgage Fund, LLC has been providing much-needed capital for commercial real estate transactions in California. Our lending process includes: first-position loans, conservative loan-to-value ratios, and every credit decision made in-house by an experienced team with deep roots in lending, real estate investment, development, and asset management.

We set a standard for what a Rubicon loan looks like, and we hold every deal to it — in strong markets and weak ones. That discipline is why our reputation rests on consistency, transparency, and certainty of execution. Each transaction is still evaluated individually, and each loan is structured to fit the situation — the standard never changes, but the structure always fits the deal.

Our Advantage

What makes us different.

01
Direct Lender, No Syndication

Rubicon Mortgage Fund, LLC is the lender. We do not syndicate loans, source capital from outside parties, or involve third-party investors in individual transactions. Every loan is funded from our own capital.

02
No Appraisals Required

We conduct our own internal property valuations and never require a third-party appraisal to approve a loan. This removes one of the most common sources of delay in the lending process.

03
We Visit Every Property

Most lenders send out a third-party appraisal team to look at the property. We do not. Someone from Rubicon physically inspects each and every property we lend on, so the people underwriting the loan have seen the asset firsthand.

04
Fully In-House, Nothing Outsourced

Underwriting, decision making, legal, and servicing are all handled internally, and your questions are answered in-house by the people working on your loan. With no outside dependencies in the chain, loans get approved and funded faster.

05
Asset-Based Lending

Lending decisions are based on the value of the collateral, not the borrower's credit score, tax returns, or personal financial statements. This allows us to serve a broader range of borrowers and deal types.

06
Creative Loan Structures

Lending in California since 2008 has given us extensive experience with complex and non-standard transactions including note hypothecations, cross-collateralized loans, trust lending, and deals that fall outside conventional guidelines.
