Rubicon Mortgage Fund is a direct private money lender for commercial real estate in San Diego and throughout San Diego County. We lend our own capital, which means the people underwriting your loan are the people who approve it. There is no syndication, no outside credit committee, and no appraisal to wait on. Most borrowers have a quote from us within 24 hours of getting in touch.

We have funded multifamily, retail, industrial, mixed-use, and non-owner-occupied residential property across San Diego County, including La Jolla and the coastal submarkets. Buyers come to us when an offer has to be credible without a financing contingency, when a 1031 exchange is running out of time, or when a property needs work before a bank will look at it. We underwrite the property and its position in the market rather than the borrower's tax returns, and someone from Rubicon walks every property before we lend on it.

Why Rubicon

SD investors choose Rubicon
for one reason.

01
We Are a Direct Lender

Every credit decision is made in-house by our own underwriting team. No committees, no syndication, no appraisals, no outside approvals — just a fast yes or no.

02
Asset-Based Underwriting

We lend on the property, not the borrower's credit score. No credit checks required. If the asset supports the loan, we can fund it.

03
Close in 14 Days

Speed is our competitive advantage. We can move from application to funding in as little as two weeks — critical when you need to compete for properties in SD.

04
Up to $15M

We fund commercial real estate loans from $500K to $15 million across all property types statewide — sized for San Diego's market.

05
California Only, Deep Expertise

We exclusively lend in California and have been doing so since 2008. We know San Diego real estate — its cycles, submarkets, and deal structures.

06
First Position Only

We hold only first position liens. Clean loan structures, predictable terms, and up to five-year loan durations with interest-only payments.
