🌾 Funding Rural Deals - Why Small-Town Investors Struggle 🌾

[Stevan Stojakovic]

🌾 Investing in rural America has huge upside. Tenants stay longer, prices are stable, competition is low, and the cash flow can be boring in the best way. Yet when it comes to financing, most small-town investors hit the same wall: lenders saying no.

Here’s why:
🚫 Major banks and institutions avoid rural markets because the comps are thin and the buyer pool is shallow.
📊 Appraisers stretch miles and months to find “comps,” which credit committees don’t accept.
💸 To the big lenders, rural deals look messy - so they’d rather pass than take the risk.

But here’s the truth: rural doesn’t mean unfundable. Private and regional lenders underwrite differently. They look at income, borrower strength, and conservative ARVs instead of cookie-cutter guidelines. With the right packaging - rent rolls, liquidity, exit plans, and sometimes cross-collateralization - rural deals can and do get funded.
