LendIQ is a rapidly expanding private money lender in the US that offers short-term loans for single-family, multifamily, mixed-use and ground up construction. Backed by a family office that has successfully invested in real estate for over 15+ years, LendIQ is your one-stop-shop for intelligent lending solutions.
LendIQ is a genuine fix and flip and construction lender, offering loans on single-family, multifamily, mixed-use, and ground-up projects, all of which fund the work through draws. Its site, however, does not publish how the draw process works: there is no stated draw request method, inspection type (physical or virtual), per-draw turnaround, or draw schedule, and it does not publish a closing timeline.
LendIQ has a leverage and rate structure, up to 90% LTC on fix and flip and up to 80% LTC on ground-up construction, backed by a family office with more than 15 years of real estate investing. Because the draw mechanics and close speed are not documented, investors financing a rehab or build with LendIQ should confirm the draw process, inspection requirements, and funding turnaround directly before closing.

Ratings are based on the following criteria:
Platinum & Gold Lenders
Platinum and Gold lenders are committed to delivering a modern, streamlined draw experience. These lenders typically support fully digital draw requests combined with virtual inspections across a wide range of project types. Their goal is to provide the fastest possible turnaround times without compromising risk management or construction oversight.
Silver & Bronze Lenders
Silver and Bronze lenders are still strong lending partners and have automated portions of their draw operations. However, the borrower experience may vary depending on the project type, inspection method, or capital partner requirements. In some cases, additional approval layers or third-party capital sources can increase reimbursement timelines.
About Virtual Inspections
Virtual inspections allow borrowers to skip scheduling a field inspector. They are typically reviewed within hours of submission. Borrowers must still document work thoroughly, including cost evidence (receipts) and lien waivers where applicable. Every lender listed on Lenderly offers virtual inspections and automated draw requests. The majority utilize independent construction experts for remote review, or they review submissions in house.
A draw-friendly lender is one that prioritizes speed, simplicity, and reliability when it comes to funding your project. They make it easy to request draws, minimize friction in the process, and get you reimbursed quickly so your project keeps moving.
The best draw-friendly lenders combine digital draw request tools with virtual inspections, allowing you to submit, verify, and receive funds often within 24 hours.
