Our process blends always-on technology, aligned incentives, and dedicated team support to deliver fast, transparent, and consistent execution — from application to payoff.

1. Share Your Deal

Submit your loan request through Upright Lending’s streamlined portal.
Upload documents, add project details, and get connected with your dedicated Upright Lending team instantly.

2. Fast, Hybrid Underwriting:

We combine real-time data, valuation tools, construction budget analysis, DSCR modeling, and decades of lending experience to evaluate your deal quickly and accurately.  Your team is available by call, text, or email to help you position your project for approval, not push you into a queue.

3. Clear Terms, Delivered Quickly:

You’ll receive a transparent term sheet outlining structure, pricing, and next steps.  Review and sign your terms digitally. No surprises. No backtracking. No bait-and-switch.

4. Close With Confidence:

Our coordinated process keeps everything fast, organized, and predictable. With aligned incentives and empowered teams, Upright Lending can close loans in as little as 7 days.

WHAT stands out

Why Upright Lending Is Different

Aligned Incentives

We intentionally structure our compensation and teams so that when your loans perform well, Upright Lending performs well. Everyone — from Production to Operations, Product & Engineering to Asset Management — rows in the same direction: toward strong outcomes and long-term value creation.

A Dedicated Team Who Knows You

Every customer is supported by a dedicated team that understands their deals, experience, and goals. You’re never routed through a call center or forced to repeat information to multiple strangers. Your team is one call, text, or email away — fully accountable, deeply informed, and empowered to move quickly.
This continuity leads to smoother underwriting, faster draws, proactive risk management, and a lending experience built for serious real estate operators.

Always-On Technology

From deal analysis to application to servicing, our platform puts everything you need at your fingertips, available 24/7. But unlike most lenders, we pair technology with real human ownership, not automated indifference.

Institutional Capital Strength

With $2B+ in committed capital and more than $8B in total funded loans between Upright Lending and our partners, we combine institutional reliability with modern, technology-driven execution.

40+ Years of Leadership Experience

Our executive team brings decades of lending, real estate, and capital markets experience across multiple cycles. In a fragmented, young industry, Upright Lending stands apart for its expertise, standards, and discipline.

Full Lifecycle Lending

Upright Lending supports investors through the complete lifecycle: acquisition → renovation → construction → stabilization → long-term rental financing. No hand-offs. No disjointed teams. Just consistency from start to finish.
