Lending in Western North Carolina
Asheville is the seat of Buncombe County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Anchorwood Lending makes business-purpose loans to real estate investors renovating residential property in the region.
The loans are for fix-and-flip and value-add work and are written to LLCs and other legal entities. Consumer and owner-occupied lending is outside what we do, anywhere in the state.
Mountain properties can carry access, grading and system issues that a flat lot does not, so the scope matters as much as the purchase price. We read renovation budgets with a contractor's eye and put our terms in writing before you commit.

Months 1–6 · $0 due
No monthly payments while you renovate.
During the rehab, every dollar you send a lender is a dollar that isn’t buying cabinets or paying your sub. So for qualified borrowers, we let the first six months of interest accrue and collect it at payoff, straight off the HUD when the house sells.
After month six, the loan goes to monthly interest-only. Fast flips never get there.
