Our take

Whether flipping or renting houses, real estate investors often require quick financing to close a transaction. Kiavi (previously LendingHome) is a lending company that focuses exclusively on lending to real estate investors, with an automated platform that makes use of machine learning and predictive-analytics to help prevent investors overstretching.

The company has grown to become one of the leading lenders to real estate investors in the country. The company has provided more than $13 billion in funded loans.

An impressive debt funding round of $300 million in early 2025 comes off the back of a 46% year-over-year loan-marking increase in 2024. Despite a slow housing market, the company is well set to help revitalize the $25 trillion worth of aged US housing stock to help ensure housing for millions of Americans.
