Methodology

Counts come from 2024 verified public lending records: originated, business-purpose loans on investment properties with terms of 36 months or less. Longer-term business-purpose (DSCR/rental) lending is tracked separately on each county page. Smaller local lenders below public reporting thresholds may be active without appearing here. Rankings are never paid placement.
