Learn How To Put Our Money To Work For You!

Get to Know Us

Our Distinctives

As a direct private mortgage lender, you are dealing with the person cutting the check and who will service your loan. We provide pre-approval letters on the spot and work one on one with our clients so they can take advantage of time-sensitive opportunities. Our yes is our yes and there are no surprises.

Direct vs Conventional Lending

We have the money and are ready to deploy it. We produce our own documents and have a team of people to make sure that your loan closes quickly. We have the relationships that allow our loan to act like cash for your purchase. We enable you to take advantage of cash-only purchases, not conventionally financeable, and bank-owned foreclosures or short-sale property listings. Go get your deal! We are here to back you up.

Why Would I Use Hard Money From A Private Lender Like Northwest Private Lending

We charge a 3-point origination fee on the borrowed amount, a $650 document preparation fee, and 1% interest per month. That’s it.

We do not charge extension fees to clients in good standing. Therefore, if you need to keep your loan a little longer, that’s okay and it won’t cost you. We never charge pre-payment penalties. It will not cost you extra if you only need your loan for a few days or a few months.

Loan Terms

We have one loan type and we offer it to all people whether you have good or bad credit. We do not charge you more if it is your first transaction or if you have had financial issues in the past. We do not try to rope you in with lower advertised rates only to switch you to a more expensive loan. We do not nickel and dime you with fees to extend loans. We are fair, transparent, and only make loans that are secure for us and a good investment for you.

What is NWPL’s loan process?

You are not a number to us. You are a person and have a story. You have a plan and want to make a good investment and you are looking for a lending partner who will treat you fairly.

You will never feel pressured to borrow from us or to borrow more than you need. We will tell you if we think a deal is not in your best interest. We will refer you to other lenders who have a better or less expensive loan product than we have. We do this because we want you to be successful and if we can help in some way, we always will.

We had a wonderful experience working with Eric and his team to purchase the house of our dreams! They provided exceptional service - we simply could not have asked for more. The entire team was extremely positive and supportive, and everything moved along quickly and smoothly, with no hiccups. They truly went above and beyond to help us close on the property in a timely manner. We highly recommend Eric and his team!

This company is excellent to deal with. They are transparent about the terms of the loan, and are refreshingly businesslike about getting deals done. I could not have been more frustrated with the conventional banking industry and these folks did everything they could to work for me and get my deal done. If you are an entrepreneur looking for lending, I encourage you to talk to them. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

I needed to rehab my home for resale and wanted to close a loan quickly to not miss the summer marketing season. A friend advised me that hard money loans are fast and a good choice for what I needed. I found locally, Northwest Private Lending and their family team by word of mouth. Erik, Eric, and Liz are amazing! Firstly, their website is incredibly informative and by the time I called them I only had one minor question before moving forward. They are knowledgeable, fast, friendly and know the market on investing, home rehab and all types of deals. It was a pleasure to work with them as they guided me through my first time hard money loan. It was so much easier than conventional loans for a tight timeline, it was ideal for my situation. I will definitely use NWPL again in the future for rehabilitation of properties. Great experience!

Eric from Northwest Private Lending did a great job in securing a loan for me after a number of No's. I started a remodel and needed additional funds to finish. I was turned down by numerous Mortgage Lenders as I did not qualify for a regular loan. I was referred to Northwest Private Lending. I called and spoke to Eric and explained my situation and heard the words. “No problem I think we can help you out”. Best news I had heard in over a month of trying. He was easy to work with, courteous and kept me updated. We had it all completed and funded in about 3 weeks.Thank you Eric and Liz for your help and great service.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Top-tier Service and Patient With Our Process!We want to give a big shout out to Erik Keyes, Eric Larson and the entire NW Private Lending team, as well as the team at Fidelity National Title Clackamas Branch!Their application process was simple and straightforward, and we received a quick response and seamless approval of our loan.They were transparent with the terms of the loan- no hidden fees or confusing terms. Erik and the team are good-natured, friendly, professional and clear in their communication.We had a few hiccups on our end related to escrow, but Erik & his team and the Fidelity Title team jumped right on it and worked diligently to tie up the loose ends. Funds were disbursed quickly, which was crucial in our situation. We highly recommend them to anyone needing a personal lending solution!-Natalie and Tony Fitzgerald

My Realtor connected me with Erik Keyes for a short term loan. This is the first time I had need of such and was pretty skeptical after hearing stories of “loan sharks” and “predatory lending.” I was surprised to converse with a real human who lives in my area and is kind and compassionate. I was impressed with how clear and up-front Erik was about their loan policy.This is not my area of expertise and he was patient with my lack of knowledge, was willing to include my Realtor in the process and was able to explain procedure for a neophyte. The steps and costs are transparent. There was no high pressure just a willingness to hear my needs, & work with me in an honest, direct fashion.Turns out plans changed and I did not follow process through to completion but I am sure the finish would have been like the start— Open, friendly, up-front and clear. No sharks in this water. I have new perception of this type of loan. I would return if I ever need a short term loan again. I can recommend Erik without hesita.

NW Private lending was awesome! They processed everything so quickly, it was somewhere close to two weeks that we had left and they got us all sorted and into our house with time to spare. We worked with Eric and Lizz and they were both so quickly to respond and really helpful and informative about any questions we had. They were also really clear and up front about what the costs would be and how their system worked. 10/10

I’ve worked with a lot of lenders and mortgage brokers in my career as an architect, and developer. A lot of lenders and mortgage brokers will tell you that they can get it done but most of the time its just BS. I’ve been fooled more times than I can count. It is in this context that NW Private Lending (NWPL) stands in a class of one. Not only do they have the expertise to get deals done that none else could do, they get it done quickly, painlessly with honesty and integrity. My biggest regret is that I did not find these guys earlier in my career. Stop wasting your time. Pick up the phone and call these guys. If they tell you they can get it done, trust me, they will get It done.

We took Erik's advice and were able to close our home purchase with a conventional loan rather than the funding from NPL but we were very impressed with how Erik treated us. We would recommend NPL to others needing to close on a property quickly. Thank you Erik and Northwest Private Lending!

NW Private Lending was a great partner during the process of buying my first BRRRR property in Idaho. They were transparent through out the process with regards to fees and costs (their term sheet was nearly identical to what I had calculated based on the rates they listed on their website... no surprises!). The team closed quickly in the timeline they committed to, and I genuinely felt like they were looking out for me... offering advice and providing feedback on properties to make sure I got a good deal. Will be using them again (and again!) on future purchases.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with NW Private Lending. Erik, Lizz and the entire staff were so wonderful to work with and put up with all of my annoying questions! We had a very unique situation with my Mom’s home that included a lot of time constraints, pressure and traditional lending was not an option for us. From my first phone conversation with Erik and through the entire process to funding, they were thoughtful and wanted to make sure it was a plan that worked for our immediate needs and the best interest for our Family. If you want honest people that truly want to see you succeed in whatever your situation or project is, NW Private Lending is right Company to work with.

I recently worked on a deal with Erik Keyes for some houses I'm building at the Oregon coast. I had talked with a couple hard money lenders prior and Erik and I clicked right away. He explained Northwest Private Lending's terms which are super straight forward, but went on to explain a number of safeguards and protections they use to ensure they're preparing their borrowers for success. These guys are definitly not in this business for the transaction, but to make good loans and build enduring partnerships. Erik is a man of integrity, creativity, and determination- triple threat as far as loan officers go and a unique talent for this industry. I don't typically do reviews like this, but Erik is just a solid guy and I know he could be making all the difference for someone else just like me trying to break into real-estate development. Goodspeed the brave and bold- your fortune awaits! Ryan-

I started my search for a lender mid October 2021. My search was always ended with a frown 😞. Everyone I contacted about the situation i needed a loan for either wouldnt loan like that or just wasn’t interested. I happened to stumble across NW Lending. I talked with Erick a little about the situation and he instantly wanted to help with my situation. There were lots of obstacles and hoops we found we had to jump threw but they stuck threw to the end. I was able to finally close my first home loan june 1st 2022 The length of time was no fault of NW Lending It was just the situation.Thanks NW Lending for helping me with my first home purchase.

We first contacted him about a loan about a year ago and he always offered positive advice the few times I spoke with him.As far as the application process went, he was clear about the cost. The terms are straightforward and were explained well.We recently got the loan and it was a fast process. At the same time, the communication with my family was very clear, thorough, and sympathetic.

My experience with Private Lending was positive and rewarding. I was treated as an individual person not just a number. I was surprised how easy the paperwork was compared to a financial institution. I hope to do business with them again. Thank you and God bless!

We didn’t know if we would be able to get a loan in time but Northwest private lenders made it easy and quicker than any other. I couldn’t possibly be happier with Eric And his team at Northwest private lenders. Eric managed to get me financing when nobody else could.The customer service that I received from everyone at Northwest private Lenders was absolutely amazing, I would definitely recommend them to a friend!

My wife and I have been in Real estate for 25 years and we just bought our first house to flip. Working with Eric and his team for financing has been a blessing. They have been very attentive and have answered all of our questions. Being in the business you hear horror stories about private money lenders, picture loan shark. Eric and his team have been professional and have made this process much more enjoyable than I would have imagined.

From first call through funding, the Northwest Private Lending team were consummate professionals! The communication was excellent, follow up was on point and they were completely transparent regarding all fees. I will have no reservations about referring clients to NWPL for future financing needs.

Eric is more than just a money lender. He’s a great person. He listens to what you need and makes it happen no matter what. He takes your need and makes it his own. We’ve been working with him now for 2 years and would love to continue, even if we have no need for funding, we see him as a friend. This guy is just awesome! I wish I could give him more than 5 stars! His whole team is outrageous!Renay M

Eric and his team were great to work with. Once my client submitted his application we received a pre-approval. They also worked with us by checking in to see how the purchase process was going and they closed in only 5 days once things were ready on the selling side of the transaction. Will definitely recommend them to other clients and use on future projects.

This was a remarkable experience. We used NW Private Lending to help us flip a piece of property and I didn’t know what to expect going into this. Eric Larson took us under his wing and took ALL the time we needed to understand not only the process of their services but other things we should know and be aware of throughout our first project. Eric also sat with us throughout the closing process in escrow and helped us to understand all the documents we were signing. I would HIGHLY recommend this company’s service as they made us feel as though we were part of their personal family.

MIH! Making It Happen! That's the first thought I have with Eric and Northwest Private Lending. We had days to close before our client lost her home that she had a 5 year lease option on. There was over $100K in equity that she was about to lose and within days we closed before the lease option expired. We were able to sell the house shortly after for a huge win and profit for our client! We are all so blessed from the professionalism, and the speed at which this happened. I look forward to referring more business your way. If you need quick money without parlor tricks, contact Northwest Private Lending. If you need help buying or selling after your flip, please contact me! Thanks again Eric!

Eric and his team did an outstanding job of not only providing a bridge loan for us, but did so without forcing us thorugh all the new government regulated banking protocols. Having worked with lenders for almost 40 years in development, working with NWPL was a pleasant surprise...they actually wanted my business. The loan is not cheap, but they got it done with minimal intrusion and saved me the cost of all up-front fees with a referral to a property insurer who was able to cut my building insurance in half. Good job Eric!

Northwest Private Lending is a pleasure to work with and always closes on time. We have closed 10+ deals with them and they are the easiest lender I have ever dealt with. When they say they will close, they will. Hard Money has recently gone to Wall Street for funding with more stipulations and many lenders close in 30-40 days with full appraisals. Eric is true hard money and he is the decision maker. I have peace of mind that we will close in time when I work with Eric.Matt GillisBridgetown Homes Inc.

It was my pleasure to attend a class Eric Larson taught last week about currency. Eric is an engaging story teller, clearly well-informed and he caused me to go "hmmmm" at several times during the class.It is clear that Eric is experienced and knows his stuff. His talk caused me to ask more questions and created in me a desire to know more of what he knows.If you have an opportunity to attend an event where Eric is speaking you'll be amply rewarded for the time you invest.

The first thing I would like to say is, this is the first time I've ever written a review, for anyone or anything. That being said, my position for lending was during one of the the most difficult times of my life. I felt hopeless facing what seemed to be an impossible task. Northwest Private Lending made it possible. I was referred to Eric from a client, and after a few conversations and a home visit, I began to feel hopeful again. He responded quickly, professionally, with thoughtfulness. Once trust was established, moving forward was swift and straight forward.Thank you Eric.

Eris is quite simply one of the good guys! As a veteran of the mortgage industry I was always reluctant to ever refer a client to a private lender until getting to know Eric and seeing NW Private Lending in action. With a spirit of providing a helping hand and working together to help people achieve their goals you will be in good hands.

Before entrusting Eric with our retirement funds, my wife and I have invested with his father-in-law, Gary Clunas, for over thirty years. We have been transitioning our funds from Gary to Eric and were proud to be one of the first investors to entrust our funds with Northwst Private Lending. Eric tailors our loans to meet out needs and is always available to give personal updates and advise. And we would be remiss if we didn't mention the excellent service and support we also receive from secretary, nonpareil, Michelle.

I was referred to Eric Larson by my real estate agent when my family was looking into refinancing our home. Eric went above and beyond in terms of the care he put into helping us find a loan that saved us money. Although he did not handle the loan directly, he educated us about our refinancing options and put us in contact with another mortgage lender that could provide the best possible loan at a much lower interest rate than we ever imagined!

Honestly, I could not be more satisfied with this company. They are just so easy to work with and provide fast funds for investment. They have helped me purchase properties that no other lender could finance due to my limited credit (18 years old). They also fund FAST both properties I have finianced were funded in THREE DAYS OR LESS. Who does that?!? The customer service is second to none, and Eric (NWPL's President) is always so pleasent. I am a lifelong customer, and recommend Eric and NWPL to anyone who needs untraditional funding, or just fast funding in general . So grateful !!!

I was referred to Eric Larson by my real estate agent when I was faced with the challenge of cash purchases of bank owned properties. Not only was Eric prompt to answer my questions but he also became a professional that I trust for advice. NW Private Lending meets the unique needs of investors who desperately need cash to purchase distressed properties that they can fix up and later refinance. I am pleased with the shared value in rehabilitating distressed homes and neighborhoods while providing livable dwellings for individuals and families.

Hi, Everyone I asked to help me with a loan after my husband died, friends and private lenders and Banks, all had many different excuses not loan to me money. I prayed and asked God for some one who would listen to me and my plan and help me, someone with faith and trust. Eric Larson is a wonderful person. He lent me money based on knowledge, experience and information but above all FAITH AND TRUST!!! His company genuinely cares for your success as a PERSON first. And in doing so mutual trust and faith in God's plans for ourselves blossom into fulfilled needs and dreams. With the cash I am now able to do the things I need to make my plans work. Thanks to NW private lending and Sam Thwaite who helped me find them. Mahalo Nui Loa ☺👍😄🐝
