SLA Capital, a Sir Lends A Lot LLC company, is a private real estate lender built by investors who actively invest themselves. The company’s founders have completed more than 500 flips, and that hands-on experience shapes how SLA Capital underwrites every loan. Deals are reviewed through founder-led underwriting rather than rigid bank criteria, which gives borrowers more flexibility and a direct line to a decision-maker.
SLA Capital lends in 42 states and is known for speed and transparency. The company funds fix and flip projects in as little as 72 hours, averages a 10-day closing, and holds a record for a same-day fix and flip closing. Pricing is clear with no retrades, and roughly 70 percent of borrowers return for repeat financing.
SLA Capital offers three core programs. Fix and flip loans provide up to 100 percent financing for premier borrowers, with rates from 9.5 to 12 percent. DSCR rental loans start as low as 5.25 percent and require only three months of seasoning for refinances. New construction loans cover up to 85 percent of total project costs and 75 percent of land value, including loans on unpermitted land, with non-Dutch interest on renovation funds.
SLA Capital finances 100% of the rehab budget through draws, disbursed after inspection of completed work, and its process leans virtual. Draw requests run through SLA’s platform with photos and invoices, and the company advertises same-day draw approvals when the photos and receipts are clean. That photo-and-invoice, platform-based, same-day model reads like a virtual or desktop review rather than an in-person inspection, though SLA does not explicitly label the inspection as physical or virtual, so it is worth confirming. This fits Lenderly’s focus on fast, remote-friendly draw management. On the front end, SLA can close in as little as 72 hours with clear title, and it averages about 7 to 10 days across programs. For rehabbers, the combination of up to 100% LTC and same-day photo-based draw approvals is the core of the offering.

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.
