The Memphis lender league

Who lends on Memphis real estate, by recorded volume.

Every loan secured by Memphis property leaves a trust deed at the Register of Deeds. Count those recordings lender by lender and the lending market ranks itself: banks, credit unions, hard money shops, and private lenders, all on one scoreboard.

Every trust deed recorded in Shelby County, grouped by the lender named on the recording and ranked by loans recorded in the last 12 months, coverage from Jul 2024. Government and housing-agency assistance liens are excluded so the league reflects the lending market. Recorded volume only: this is a scoreboard, not a directory and not an endorsement.

Every figure on this page is computed from public records and listings we track ourselves. Public records contain errors, omissions, and recording lags, and coverage windows are stated where each figure appears. Rankings reflect recorded volume only and are not ratings, reviews, endorsements, or statements about any entity's quality, legality, or conduct. Nothing here is an appraisal, a broker price opinion, or lending, investment, tax, or legal advice. This is not a consumer report: never use it to screen tenants or to make any decision about an individual person.

How this league is built

Trust deeds keep the score.

A loan secured by real property records a trust deed naming the lender. Priors reads every recording, groups them by lender, and counts. The league above is the county-wide view across every loan purpose; the flip-lender league on this site is the slice of it attached to finished flips.

The engine behind the league also types each lender’s book: how many distinct borrowers, how much recorded consideration, and how much of the volume sits on flips versus long holds. The full ranked league is in Pro.

Borrowing on a Memphis project? The per-address read shows which lenders are actually active in that pocket and on that deal shape, from what they recorded, not what they advertise.

Questions

Memphis lending, answered from the record.

Who are the most active lenders in Memphis?

Ranked by trust deeds recorded in the last 12 months, the five most active are on this page, read live from the county record. The full league runs thousands of lenders deep in Pro.

Does this include hard money lenders?

Yes. Any lender named on a recorded trust deed appears: banks, credit unions, hard money shops, and private lenders. The flip-lender league is the dedicated slice for loans attached to finished flips.

How is this different from a lender directory?

Directories list lenders who asked to be listed. This league counts recordings at the Register of Deeds, so it reflects loans that actually closed. Nobody can pay to appear or to move up.
