Patch of Land Returns $10M to Investors in Less Than Two Years

LOS ANGELES, CA , September 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​Patch of Land, a leading alternative solution for real estate financing, today announced it has returned $10M of principal and interest payments to investors in less than two years. This marks a significant milestone for Patch of Land, which launched operations in October 2013 with a fix and flip loan in New Jersey. In May 2015, the company made history closing the largest residential 506(c) crowdfunded loan at that time in Arcadia, California valued at $1,890,000 and has funded over $10 million a month in loans for the last three months.

“We are thrilled to have returned $10M in principal and interest to our loyal investors in such a short span of time,” said Jason Fritton, co-founder and CEO of Patch of Land. “Patch of Land’s mission is to solve the problem of inefficient, fragmented and opaque real estate lending. We will continue to strive for this goal and offer best-in-class services to our borrowers and investors even as we scale operations significantly. We’ve been consistently originating over $10 million a month over the summer, and we’re on track to continue that trend, and increase monthly origination volume through the end of 2015.”

Since it’s inception in October 2013, Patch of Land has experienced massive growth. In less than two years, the company has funded more than 150 projects, prefunding and then crowdfunding over $50M with an average blended rate of return of 11.91 percent. Patch of Land is helping thousands of investors from across the country invest in residential and commercial properties that span 22 states.

Patch of Land takes pride in having the marketplace industry’s first secured fractionalized payment dependent loan structure, which protects investors by offering them direct security in underlying collateral. The company is committed to innovation and transparency as it continues to establish itself as a leader in crowdfunding and peer lending for real estate.

As a company, Patch of Land is expanding its lending product set. The company started with a focus on short-term, value-add residential rehab loans, which contributed to its over 100% growth quarter over quarter since Q4/2-14. Although Patch of Land’s core values remain the same, it’s naturally progressing into new loan types and asset classes, such as rentals and commercial bridge financing. Patch of Land will continue to expand its solutions and product offerings for both existing borrowers and for new borrowers who require more sophisticated lending solutions.
