Where they actually differ
Leverage: Kiavi tops out at 80% LTV / 95% 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.
Pricing: Kiavi quotes 5.875%–12% and 1–3 points; ROC Capital quotes 9.5%–12% and 1–3 points. Where a specific file lands inside either range depends on leverage, credit and property type.
Loan sizing runs $100,000–$2,000,000 at Kiavi and $75,000–$5,000,000 at ROC Capital — a gap that mostly matters at either end of the range.
Kiavi 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.
