Once upon a time in a little city…
As a woman-owned hard money lender, Little City has been part of Austin since it was truly a little city. In our 20+ years of real estate investment lending, we’ve seen it all: booms, busts, epic wins, epic fails. Along the way, we’ve grown into one of Texas’ most trusted hard money lenders. With every deal we’ve done, we’ve learned a little more. As a result, we have developed expertise that can only be gained from direct experience.
Over the years, like the Austin skyline, we’ve grown and refined. But we’re also still keeping the funk alive, In fact, we welcome those weird deals and give our borrowers an alternative to those old rigid and stuffy banks.
Our founder
In the testosterone-fueled world of finance bros, our principal and founder, Kary Aycock, is a true anomaly: A woman founder of a hard money lending company. She has been a player in Austin real estate since 2003, she’s an experienced Texas real estate broker who got her start flipping a house in central east Austin. It was a to-the-studs remodel, funded with a hard money loan. She moved on to building houses and developing multi-family and commercial properties in Austin.
Little City Investments started in 2006 as a small lender for Kary’s friends and associates in the Austin real estate community. We’ve grown to be a statewide hard money lender funding a variety of loans for Texas real estate investors. We take pride in standing among the few woman-owned private money lenders in Texas.
