GOLD LENDER
Malve Capital LLC is a private direct lender providing fast and flexible financing for real estate acquisitions, refinances, and construction, with closings in as fast as 5 business days, subject to clear title. Rates start at 9%, and the company emphasizes transparent fees and dedicated support.
Loan amounts range from $50,000 to $10,000,000 across single-family, multi-family, townhomes, condos, and commercial properties. Malve Capital uses minimal documentation, with no tax returns, W-2s, or bank statements required and no minimum FICO score, and is a member of the American Association of Private Lenders.
Malve Capital lends on fix and flip, bridge, and ground-up construction projects that finance up to 100% of construction costs, all of which fund the work through draws. The company does not publish how the draw process works: there is no draw request method, inspection type (physical or virtual), per-draw turnaround, or reimbursement schedule. Given that Malve funds up to 100% of construction, the draw structure is central to how a project is financed, so the absence of published mechanics is a gap worth noting.
On closing, Malve advertises closings in as fast as five business days, subject to clear title. Because the draw process is not documented, investors building or renovating with Malve should confirm the draw request steps, inspection requirements, and funding turnaround directly before closing. Malve lends to business entities only, across 41 states and Washington DC.

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.
