About CoreVest Finance

Written by the company

CoreVest is the cycle-tested, direct private lender delivering tailored capital with certainty of execution to residential real estate investors nationwide.

Backed by Redwood Trust and powered by fully integrated in-house capital markets, underwriting, and construction management teams, we control the credit decision and stand behind every closing. That means no last-minute surprises, no bait-and-switch re-trades—just consistent, reliable execution that protects our sponsors’ returns and reputation.

As early architects of the institutional single-family rental and build-to-rent lending market, we helped bring rental investment financing from Wall Street to Main Street. For over a decade, we’ve delivered capital across market cycles while others have come and gone—establishing strategies and credit standards that have become industry benchmarks.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all lending. Every loan is structured around the asset, the borrower, and the business plan—tailored to strategy, not forced into a preset box. We partner only on investments we believe in, aligning our capital with our sponsors’ long-term growth.

From acquisition and construction through stabilization, refinance, and portfolio expansion, CoreVest is a true lifecycle lender—combining competitive pricing with disciplined execution to help investors scale with confidence.

CoreVest Product Portfolio:

  • Rental Portfolio Loans
  • Fix and Flip Loans
  • Bridge Loans
  • New Construction Loans
  • Ground-Up Construction Loans
  • Built For Rent Loans

Corevest is customer focused

Corevest was very straight forward about what their terms were and what they needed to process the financing. Communication was excellent and they were customer focused. I would use them again.

Working with CoreVest as a developer

I am builder / developer with over 14 years of experience. Naturally I work with many lenders across the country. CoreVest has been a great partner to us with their streamlined approach to business, common sense, ability to see the perspective of their clients (mostly investors), and willingness to make bold decisions when the product is right and borrower has credibility and experience. I am happy with their level of professionalism and hope they continue to maintain the quality of service they are known for. I know my next project goes to them.

Thank You Omar!

Mr. Omar Popal from Corevest is Amazing!

Our company uses him for all of our investments, whether they’re short term or long term exits. Mr. Popal’s ability to strategize and help us navigate this complex lending environment giving us the most competitive loans and rates with flexible terms is second to none!

We are a Family owned and Operated Firm Specializing in Building & Remodeling. Due to our Boutique Style Nature, Having Omar w/Corevest on our side providing us with favorable terms for working capital is essential.

We literally could NOT do, what we do without him and his team!

Thank you Omar & Thank you to your whole team @Corevest!

Corevest is the real deal

Corevest is the real deal, they provide timely terms, and timely closings. I have closed a number of construction loans in a very short window of time, as well as stabilized rental loans on a number of townhomes. I consider them my number one vertical residential construction lender now.

Working with Dan has been nothing short of exceptional. He’s professional, responsive, and truly understands how to get deals across the finish line — even the complicated ones. Whether it’s a fast close, creative structure, or a tough underwriting scenario, Dan always finds a solution and communicates every step of the way. We’ve done multiple transactions together, and he’s consistently proven himself as a reliable lending partner who genuinely cares about helping investors and homeowners succeed. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lender who delivers results with integrity.

CoreVest Finance is by far the best…

CoreVest Finance is the best lending company I have ever worked with, and that’s largely thanks to Patrick Lyons. Patrick is a seasoned professional who truly understands how to take care of his clients from start to finish.

He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every client walks away completely satisfied. His dedication to exceptional service, genuine compassion, and building lasting relationships sets him apart from other lending specialists in the industry.

If you’re looking for a lender who treats you like family and delivers outstanding results every time, look no further than CoreVest Finance and Patrick Lyons. Their commitment to excellence is unmatched.

The CoreVest Team is the Best in Town

I have worked with CoreVest for close to 10 years now. We have closed on several Term Loans and Credit lines. Their team brings the knowledge, professionalism and products that anyone in Real Estate should expect. You cannot go wrong with CoreVest.

The CoreVest team is consistently responsive, professional, and detail-oriented. They bring a strong understanding of the Build-for-Rent space, offer competitive terms, and provide non-recourse loan options — all delivered through a streamlined and efficient process. Most impressively, we recently closed two loans in under four weeks!

Professional and Trustworthy Lender

Corvest is a very professional and trustworthy company. They assemble a team to provide timely guidance throughout the loan process from the very beginning to the day of close. You are in constant contact with the entire team, including underwriters, to ensure a smooth, on-time closing. Have had experience with other large portfolio lenders who left you out in the cold throughout the process and then tried to renegotiate the terms at close. Not with Corvest, they lived up to all they promised.

Exceptional experience

When my elderly parents, residing with me in California, faced the daunting task of refinancing two properties in New Jersey, it felt like an impossible hurdle. We had approached over 30 lenders, only to be met with dishearteningly high rates or outright rejections due to my parents' credit and financial resources. We were despondent and incredibly stressed, feeling like there was no viable path forward.

Then, a beacon of hope appeared in the form of Oliver Fair, Nathalia Kim, Mino Miyashiro and the team at CoreVest. From our very first introduction, everything changed. Not only were Oliver and CoreVest able to provide the necessary loans, but the rates they offered were unbelievably low – by far the most competitive quotes we had ever received. What made this even more remarkable was that these exceptional rates were extended despite the challenges posed by my parents' credit scores and financial constraints.

Beyond the incredible pricing, the entire process was a revelation. Refinancing property is typically fraught with stress, but Oliver and CoreVest made it unbelievably easy and remarkably efficient. They transformed what we anticipated to be a grueling ordeal into a surprisingly stress-free and even enjoyable experience.

Oliver, Nathalie, Mino and the entire team at CoreVest were nothing short of incredible in every possible way. Their professionalism, responsiveness, friendliness, and trustworthiness were consistently outstanding. They truly offer the absolute best pricing in the industry, coupled with unparalleled service.

I cannot recommend Oliver Fair and the team at CoreVest highly enough to anyone in search of a loan. They are a rare find in the financial world, delivering not just results, but peace of mind and genuine partnership. We are profoundly grateful for their exceptional support.
