Private Hard Money Lending Built for Investors & Residents in Chattanooga, TN

Chattanooga has undergone one of the most compelling transformations of any mid-sized city in the South — and the real estate investment market reflects it. Nestled along the Tennessee River, the Scenic City combines natural beauty with a thriving local economy that has drawn young professionals relocating from major metros across the country. Home prices continue to rise, rental demand remains strong, and certain neighborhoods are undergoing rapid transformation — yet barriers to entry remain relatively low compared to other high-growth markets in the region.

For investors and residents, that combination is difficult to find. Historic districts like Southside and North Shore have seen meaningful appreciation driven by strong demand for fully renovated homes, while neighborhoods like Highland Park, St. Elmo, and Red Bank have become particularly active with both local and out-of-state buyers targeting fix & flip projects and long-term rentals. Chattanooga is now recognized as an emerging real estate powerhouse with a vibrant startup ecosystem and strong tourism economy — all of which underpin sustained buyer demand well beyond the typical investment cycle.

What does not change regardless of the market is that the best deals move fast. Paces Funding is a direct private money lender that uses its own capital to fund acquisitions, rehabs, bridge loans, and new construction throughout the greater Chattanooga area. There are no brokers, no outside investors to answer to, and no drawn-out approval timelines. When you find the right property, we are structured to close in as little as 7 days, so the deal stays yours.

REVIEW

Once we receive your completed application, we will review the application and one of our experienced loan officers will call you to discuss any additional information we may need.

After the Application review, the next step is for you to submit your purchase contract and renovation list. During this step we will also provide you with a Good Faith Estimate to review and approve.

Once the Good Faith Estimate has been approved, we will then order an appraisal and title. Our construction manager will visit the property with the borrower to go over the bid sheet and construction that will be performed on the property.
