1Loans are originated, business-purpose loans on investment properties with terms of 36 months or less, from 2024 verified public lending records. Counts are per county of the secured property; activity below public reporting thresholds may not appear. Ranking is by loans funded among every lender on record; it is not an endorsement, and placement is never paid.
2Rates are per-county medians of disclosed note rates; the lender-wide figure is the median of those. “vs. lender” is the county median less the lender median, in percentage points; differences under 0.25 points are set in grey.
