Colorado Short Term Funding is a private lending company who works exclusively with individuals and companies who wish to acquire residential investment properties.

COST Fund’s Primary Private Lending Programs:

Fix and Flip Investments

Investors who acquire “distressed properties” with the intention of rehabbing the property and placing back on the market within 1-10 months

Acquire and Hold for Rental

Investors who wish to purchase a property and rent to a third party tenant.

Bridge Loans for Re-finance and Standard Purchases

Investors who wish to refinance out of a current investment property in order to utilize leverage for other investments, or purchase outright.

Foreclosure/Public Trustee Purchase Re-finance

We can re-finance investors who purchase properties at public trustee auctions as soon as they receive a Certificate of Purchase.

Who We Are

Although COST Fund is relatively new to the private lending space, the principals of COST Fund are certainly not new to Colorado, nor are they new to finance and real estate endeavors. The principals of COST Fund have participated in, and/or personally invested in approximately $195 million worth of transactions in both commercial and residential properties. The experience, knowledge, and background of each principal of COST Fund provides a wide breadth of knowledge that will provide added value for each transaction from identification to close.
