RCN Capital, LLC was established in 2010 to provide time-sensitive, bridge financing to real estate investors to fund the purchase of non-owner occupied residential and commercial properties, provide bridge loans, and provide real estate-backed lines of credit.
Formed towards the end of the recession, RCN Capital has benefited from a turbulent housing market in which many real estate investors see great opportunity. A lack of liquidity in the credit markets and increased regulation of the banking industry has restricted conventional financing as an option for investors in fast-moving and competitive real estate markets.
As the nation’s premier direct private lender, RCN Capital helps fill this void. As a direct, private lender, RCN Capital takes a common-sense approach to underwriting, with all approvals made in-house. They are dedicated to providing quick responses to time-sensitive loans, oftentimes with the ability to close in as few as 10 business days.

At RCN Capital, they value referrals and our brokers are protected. They are committed to the highest level of customer service, because our success lies in building relationships.

Loan Types:
Fix and Flip
Bridge
Rental
