Raleigh Hard Money and Investor Loans
Bee Cave capital, funding deals across the Research Triangle.
USA Mortgage is a direct business-purpose lender headquartered in Bee Cave, Texas, and we fund investors across Raleigh, Durham, and the wider Research Triangle. We lend our own capital, so the person you talk to is the person who decides. The Triangle's demand sits on the research universities, Research Triangle Park, and the seat of state government, which gives it a floor most markets do not have. Cash flow and appreciation live in different towns here: the east and south side of Wake County rents well on a cheap basis, while Cary and Apex price like an appreciation play. The cheap-basis towns pay for that yield in a heavier tax stack, so pull the parcel's own rate before you underwrite it. Business-purpose loans only, and every structure is set in underwriting.
Cash flow runs east and south of Raleigh
Zebulon rents at 0.58% of value a month and Knightdale and Garner sit at 0.47% and 0.49%, against Cary at 0.28% and Apex at 0.33%. The tax rate and the yield move together out here: Zebulon carries the highest combined stack in Wake County at $1.1141 per $100 for tax year 2026, against Cary at $0.9046 and Holly Springs at $0.8806, so the cheap-basis towns pay for their cash flow in taxes.
Wake County taxes jump at revaluation, not each year
North Carolina counties reappraise on a multi-year cycle, not annually, and assessed values sit frozen in between. Wake's 2024 revaluation raised residential values 53% in one step; the next revaluation is effective 2027-01-01, with value notices and appeals opening that January, and Wake then moves to a two-year cycle starting 2029. Underwrite the reset, not just today's bill.
Three universities and a research park anchor the market
NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke sit in three different counties around Research Triangle Park, roughly 7,000 acres and more than 300 companies employing about 55,000 workers. State government adds 55,300 jobs to the Raleigh-Cary MSA on top of that, a counter-cyclical floor most USAM metros don't have.
