About 716 Lend

Private Capital.
Personal Relationships.

Built on Trust. Funded by Experience.

716 Lend was founded on a simple belief: real estate investors deserve a lender who actually understands their business. Not a bank with a committee. Not a national platform processing thousands of files. A local partner who knows the Western New York market and can make fast, informed decisions.

We started lending to a small circle of trusted real estate investors — people whose deals we understood, whose character we knew, and whose track records we respected. That foundation of relationship-based lending is still exactly how we operate today.

We are intentionally selective. We take on only a limited number of borrowers each year. This isn't a limitation — it's a choice. It means every borrower gets our complete attention, every deal gets a thoughtful review, and every closing happens without unnecessary delays.

If you're a serious real estate investor in Western New York who needs fast, reliable private capital in first lien position — we'd like to hear about your deal.

Our Philosophy

How We Think About Lending

Relationships First

We lend to people, not just properties. Understanding who you are and how you operate matters as much to us as the numbers on the deal sheet.

Clarity Over Complexity

Our terms are simple and stated upfront. 12-month term, first lien, two points, market rate. No surprises, no fine print designed to confuse.

Local by Choice

We focus on Western New York because we know it. We understand the neighborhoods, the market dynamics, and what makes a deal work here.
