Where they actually differ
ROC Capital adds BRRRR and rental. A deal that specifically needs one of those only has one side of this comparison to go to.
Iron Bridge Lending quotes a 7-14 days typical close; ROC Capital quotes 10-21 days typical. On a competitive acquisition that gap can be the whole decision.
Term structure differs too: Iron Bridge Lending runs 12 months; ROC Capital runs 12-24 months (hard money) / 30-year (rental).
Leverage: Iron Bridge Lending tops out at 75% LTV / 85% LTC, against 80% / 90% at ROC Capital. More leverage means less cash to close and a thinner equity cushion — which side of that trade matters depends on how much cash the deal has to begin with.
