Our Past - Your Future

Land Finance Group (LFG) was founded in 2002 with the express interest in providing builders and developers with land loans for every scenario through multiple cycles. 

The market for land loans continues to be strong, despite COVID, especially land for single-family lot development. Even with softness in some higher-end markets, production and entry-level housing demand is brisk due to low interest rates. We continue to look forward to a bright future, given the persistent shortage of lots and low-interest rates. LFG's focus is creative land finance, offering loan programs to capitalize on opportunity no matter where we are in the market cycle.​
