    Led · Equity · Apr 2025

    Dunmor offers residential transition loans across four categories—bridge, fix-and-flip, ground-up construction and DSCR rental—serving borrowers in 48 states. The company maintains a nationwide team of loan originators and production analysts and positions itself as having the widest range of RTL products and broad national footprint. This year Dunmor reached a $150 million funding milestone and announced a minority equity investment from Newfi Lending, whose investment vehicle is owned by funds managed by Apollo Global Management. Dunmor is expanding its licensing and physical presence with an Arizona license and Scottsdale office, a planned Nevada license, and a new office in Irvine, California. It is launching a broker portal and separate AI-powered loan origination platforms for investors and brokers to accelerate pre-qualifications, quotes, term sheets and loan delivery. Leadership additions, including Jim Cooper as executive vice president of capital markets, and institutional capital backing from Newfi and Apollo are cited as supports for continued growth. Dunmor is a technology-forward national lender that provides short-term bridge, fix-and-flip, ground-up construction and DSCR rental loans for residential real estate investors across the United States. The company operates in all 50 states and is regulated and licensed to lend nationwide. Dunmor runs separate AI-powered loan origination platforms for real estate investors and brokers and recently launched a broker platform to broaden distribution. Its platform delivers rapid pre-qualifications, quotes, term sheets and loans and is supported by a distributed team of loan origination and production analysts. The company intends to use strategic partnerships and capital to expand origination capacity and capture growth in the residential transition lending (RTL) sector.
