CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
No public data on approval rates, but the fund explicitly targets deals that traditional lenders won't touch.
Borrower testimonials note faster approvals and more flexible terms than conventional lenders, suggesting a practical orientation toward getting deals done rather than turning applicants away on technicalities.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm project fits criteria: affordable multi-family housing in New Mexico serving low-income residents — 1 day
Review loan products (Construction Loan or Threshold Loan) and gather project financials — 1-2 weeks
Contact Ventana Fund directly to discuss your project and initiate application — Ongoing, rolling basis
WORTH KNOWING
Ventana Fund specifically finances projects in rural and underserved New Mexico markets like Las Vegas and Moriarty that lack capital — if your project is in a hard-to-finance location, that may work in your favor rather than against you.
