SILVER LENDER
Washington Capital Partners, which operates as WCP Loans, is a hard money lender founded in 2012 and based in McLean, Virginia, serving real estate investors on the East Coast. The company emphasizes transparent lending with no hidden fees or surprise changes, positioning itself as a long-term partner rather than a one-off lender.
Washington Capital Partners publishes a clear, milestone-based draw process with physical inspections. The borrower emails a draw request to WCP’s draws team, an inspector schedules a visit, and WCP strongly recommends the borrower meet the inspector on-site, so inspections are physical rather than virtual. Draws are typically disbursed within three to four business days from the inspection report, and funds are released after each verified milestone, with the budget locked at origination. A fee of about $300 is netted from each draw wire, and that fee covers both the inspection and the wire. On the front end, WCP can close within 48 hours after the property title is clear and all documents are received, and it markets fix and flip closings in as fast as a few days. That three-to-four business day draw turnaround, paired with a 48-hour close, is the core of the offering for active rehabbers.

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.
