HD Lending, LLC - Arizona Private Money & Hard Money Lending Specialists
Locally Owned. Relationship Driven. Solutions Focused.
HD Lending, LLC is a locally owned and operated private money and hard money mortgage company based in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded by Geoffrey Ball, a mortgage professional with over 24 years of lending experience, HD Lending specializes in providing creative, flexible, and fast real estate financing solutions throughout Arizona.
Unlike traditional banks and conventional mortgage companies, HD Lending specializes in helping borrowers whose financing needs may not fit traditional lending guidelines. We understand that every borrower and every real estate transaction is different, and we take pride in finding solutions where other lenders may not be able to help.
What We Do
HD Lending provides specialized real estate financing solutions, including:
- Owner-Occupied Hard Money Loans: Financing solutions for homeowners who may not qualify for traditional bank financing due to credit challenges, income documentation, or unique financial circumstances.
- Real Estate Investor Loans: Short-term financing for investment properties, fix-and-flip projects, property acquisitions, and refinancing.
- Bridge Loans: Flexible financing that helps borrowers access real estate equity or secure funding while transitioning between properties or waiting for longer-term financing.
- Construction & Completion Loans: Financing for construction projects, including helping property owners and investors complete projects when traditional funding is unavailable.
- Commercial Real Estate Loans: Financing solutions for commercial properties, business owners, and real estate investors.
- First & Second Mortgages: Customized financing secured by real estate, including opportunities to access existing property equity.
What Makes HD Lending Different?
Experience, Accessibility, and Personal Service.
At HD Lending, borrowers aren't treated like loan numbers. Every transaction receives personal attention, and clients work directly with experienced lending professionals who understand the challenges of real estate financing.
Our approach is built around several core principles:
Speed & Efficiency: We understand that timing is critical in real estate. Our streamlined lending process allows us to close many transactions in as little as 7–10 days, depending on the loan and circumstances.
Creative Problem Solving: We specialize in challenging transactions that traditional lenders often decline. Rather than simply saying no, we work to understand the property, the borrower's circumstances, and the available financing options.
Direct Communication: We believe borrowers deserve honest answers, clear expectations, and straightforward communication throughout the lending process.
Relationships Over Transactions: Our business has been built primarily through referrals, repeat clients, and trusted relationships rather than expensive advertising campaigns.
Local Expertise: As an Arizona-based lender, we understand our local real estate markets and the unique financing needs of Arizona homeowners, investors, and business owners.
Since opening in 2022, HD Lending has funded more than $75 million in real estate loans across more than 375 transactions, while earning over 165 five-star Google reviews from clients who value our service, professionalism, and commitment to delivering on our promises.
Proud Supporters of Our Community & Youth Athletics
At HD Lending, our commitment to relationships extends far beyond real estate lending.
As a family-owned Arizona business, we believe strongly in supporting our local communities and investing in the next generation. Youth athletics help develop important life skills, including discipline, teamwork, perseverance, accountability, confidence, and leadership.
We are especially proud to support local girls' ice hockey and the young women who demonstrate dedication, determination, and sportsmanship every time they step onto the ice.
We recognize the commitment made by these athletes, their families, coaches, and volunteers, and we are honored to play a small part in helping the sport grow within our community.
At HD Lending, success isn't measured only by the loans we close, but by the relationships we build, the people we help, and the positive impact we make in our community.

Sweezers partners with hockey associations to create coordinated apparel programs that unite every level of the organization. Instead of purchasing apparel one player at a time, we help associations outfit their whole community with a premium collection built around one shared identity.
The Sweezers Philosophy
Strong associations are built by strong communities.
We believe hockey is about more than what happens on the ice. The strongest associations are built when players, coaches, families, volunteers, sponsors, and local businesses come together around a shared purpose.
