If you’re looking for private money or hard money lending in Tulsa, OK, then Defiance Capital is your go-to company. By offering responsive service, we have been honored to receive referral business from our loyal clients. We provide thorough and transparent details about our lending process no matter your level of experience. We also enjoy providing our time to dive into during the process to assure you find the right opportunity to fit your goals.
We understand how irritating the lending process can be. Traditional banks can be slow and require additional time to satisfy all pre-close requirements. This is time that should be spent finding your next deal or getting your current project completed. Funding from family and friends might be an easy option, but can also be unpredictable and lead to awkwardness should the project not go as planned. Defiance Capital’s funding model allows the speed you need with the reliability that funding will be there when you need it.
Defiance Capital performs loan servicing and construction management in-house, which the company says lets it give responsive attention and keep projects moving. For fix and flip and rehab loans, construction and rehab funds are provided as a reimbursement after work has been completed, rather than advanced upfront, and the borrower must provide a budget and receipts.
For rehab budgets over $10,000, Defiance Capital uses an independent third-party inspection company to visit the project and document progress with photos before funds are released. Rehab projects that involve demolition to the studs also require builders risk insurance.
Defiance Capital is a private lender offering business-purpose real estate loans, focused on the greater Tulsa and Oklahoma City markets. Its programs include:

For its loans, a lender title policy is required, insurance coverage must be at least 120 percent of the loan amount, and builders risk insurance is required for rehab projects involving demolition to the studs.
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.
