RBI Private Lending corrected release: firm placed near top of national private lending rankings; correction clarifies placement order
Key update and ranking highlights
A corrected company release clarifies that RBI Private Lending was recognized as the 3rd Top Construction Lender nationwide for 2025 by a leading industry ranking, and was also ranked 8th for fix-and-flip lending and 13th overall among private lenders. The correction fixes an earlier sentence that had inadvertently swapped the fix-and-flip and construction lending rankings.
What changed in the release
The company amended a sentence in the body of its announcement so the rankings read in the intended order: third in construction lending, eighth in fix-and-flip lending, and thirteenth overall. The correction was limited to that sentence and does not affect the other material in the release.
Context on the rankings and methodology
The ranking that placed the firm third in construction lending is part of an annual set of lists produced by a trade publication that has issued such private lending rankings since 2010. Those annual lists aim to identify active mortgage professionals and private lenders across categories including construction, fix-and-flip, and overall private lending. The ranking series used by the publication is described by the publisher as comprehensive for the private lending sector.
Additional recognition from analytics provider
Separately, an analytics provider active in private real estate lending analytics placed RBI tenth nationally on a lender loyalty metric. That provider publishes monthly private lending reports that track market share, identify top private lenders, and report proprietary lender loyalty scores and borrower-experience indicators. The release attributed the loyalty ranking to the lender’s customer focus and servicing capabilities.
About RBI Private Lending (summary)
RBI Private Lending, headquartered in Florida, has operated in the private real estate lending market since 2015. The company offers short-term, hard money loan products including bridge loans, fix-and-flip loans, new construction loans, and rental property loans. It provides bilingual servicing, operates across a multistate footprint, and serves borrowers in more than forty states. The company’s website is available at: https://www.rbiprivatelending.com/.
Why the rankings matter
Industry rankings help investors, broker partners, and borrowers compare active private lenders on scale and specialty focus. Placement in construction and fix-and-flip lists signals a lender’s level of activity in short-term financing for building and renovation projects. Loyalty metrics from analytics providers offer a different lens, measuring repeat business and borrower satisfaction signals rather than lending volume alone.
Related construction financing activity in the market
The release came amid a string of large construction financing transactions in the same regional market. Recent project financings include a mid‑rise waterfront condominium project backed with a development loan to support land acquisition and initial development, a dual‑tower mixed-use development financed with several hundred million dollars in construction debt for condominium and rental towers, and a separate mid‑rise apartment tower funded with a six‑figure construction loan. These financings demonstrate continued capital deployment into residential and mixed‑use projects, including waterfront and downtown locations, with lenders and credit partners structuring deals across institutional and private capital sources.
What to watch next
Observers should watch subsequent monthly reports from analytics firms for shifts in market share and loyalty scores and annual lists from trade publishers for updated laddering of private lenders. For developers and brokers, ranking changes can signal evolving appetite among capital providers for construction, renovation, and short‑term rental lending.
