Kiavi Editorial Team

The Kiavi Editorial Team produces content for real estate investors, developers, and brokers, drawing on input from Kiavi's in-house lending, construction, and compliance specialists, along with insights from Kiavi's AI-powered lending platform. Since 2013, Kiavi has funded more than $30 billion in loans, supporting over 100,000 move-in ready flips, rentals, and new builds across 49 states and Washington, D.C., to help support neighborhood revitalization. Kiavi has been recognized as a HousingWire Tech100 Real Estate Honoree for nine consecutive years and as Scotsman Guide's #1 Top Private Lender for two years running. The Kiavi Editorial Team applies this lending experience, along with Kiavi's proprietary data, including its underwriting engine built on 22+ billion data points and the JBREC-Kiavi Fix-and-Flip Survey, to produce practical, data-informed content.
