What corevest finance does

CoreVest Finance operates as a specialized direct lender providing business-purpose loans to residential real estate investors in the United States. The company distributes four core products — Rental Loans, Bridge Loans, New Construction Loans, and Multifamily Loans — through a dual-channel model that combines direct-to-borrower origination (website application portal at corevestfinance.com, phone support at 844-223-2231, and customer portal at portal.cvest.com) with a dedicated broker channel featuring a broker portal and an 'I'm a broker' pathway for mortgage brokers and loan correspondents. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to borrower profile and loan characteristics; interest rates and fees are not publicly disclosed.

The company's go-to-market is anchored by multi-channel marketing (corporate website with educational content, LinkedIn, YouTube testimonial videos, Instagram, Facebook, X, and email) and four physical offices in Irvine, CA (headquarters at 4 Park Plaza, Suite 900), Los Angeles (11601 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 370), New York (630 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2630), and Charlotte, NC (1111 Metropolitan Ave., Suite 1040). CoreVest operates as CoreVest American Finance Lender LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Redwood Trust, Inc. (NYSE: RWT), a publicly-traded REIT focused on residential credit. This ownership structure provides institutional capital backing and removes dependence on external fundraising.

Cumulative performance disclosures include over $25 billion in loans closed and more than 172,000 units financed across 46 states, with explicit geographic carve-outs in Alaska, Hawaii, South Dakota, and West Virginia. Revenue is generated primarily through net interest income on originated commercial real estate loans, supplemented by ancillary transaction-related fees. The customer base consists of thousands of mid-market residential real estate investors — including rental portfolio operators, fix-and-flip investors, bridge loan borrowers, new construction developers, and multifamily investors — sourced both directly and through broker partners.
