Hard Money Lenders in Tampa

Tampa’s real estate market is one of the hottest in Florida — with booming growth in neighborhoods like Ybor City, Seminole Heights, and South Tampa. In a market this competitive, traditional bank loans often take too long. That’s why Tampa investors turn to AFI Private Lenders for fast, flexible hard money loans to fund their fix-and-flip, rental, or new construction projects.

We help real estate investors close in days, not months, with asset-based lending designed for speed and simplicity. Whether you’re flipping a bungalow in Hyde Park or building a multifamily project in Westshore, AFI gives you the capital you need to move fast.

Why Tampa Investors Choose Hard Money Loans

When time-sensitive deals appear, waiting on bank approvals can mean missing out. Hard money loans offer Tampa investors a faster, more flexible financing solution based on property value — not credit or income history.

With AFI Private Lenders, you can:

  • Close in as little as 3–5 days
  • Borrow based on asset value, not personal financials
  • Skip income verification and lengthy underwriting
  • Finance flips, rehabs, or construction projects with ease

Our team understands the Tampa Bay market inside and out, ensuring fast approvals and fair terms so you can focus on growing your portfolio.

The Tampa Real Estate Market in 2025

Tampa continues to attract national and international investors, driven by steady population growth, strong job creation, and robust rental demand. Key factors fueling the market include:

  • Growing interest in short-term rental properties near the beaches
