Roc360 Review 2026: Roc Capital, CIVIC Complaints, Rates

Quick Answer
Roc360 (Roc Capital Holdings LLC, NYC, founded 2014) is one of the larger US private real estate lenders. In its May 12, 2026 release Roc360 says it has directly funded over $20 billion across 50,000 loans since 2014, and over $35 billion counting the loans its acquired brands funded before Roc360 bought them (the company's own figures). The group is a roll-up of brands: Roc Capital (broker/wholesale), Finance of America Commercial / FACo (acquired March 2023), CIVIC Financial Services (acquired May 2023 from collapsing PacWest), and Haus Lending (consolidated into FACo 2024–2025). On October 11, 2026 Roc Capital's site advertised DSCR rates from 5.39% and fix-and-flip from 8.25%, while the FACo and CIVIC sites advertised DSCR from 6.56% and bridge from 8.49%. No retail investor product exists — Roc360 REIT is Reg D 506 / Temasek-anchored institutional only. The biggest red flag for borrowers: CIVIC's Trustpilot rating sits at 1.5/5 across 768 reviews (October 8, 2026) with recurring complaints about hidden cross-collateral language, slow closes, and one explicit allegation of "remove your negative review or we won't fund." Roc360 has not rehabilitated CIVIC's reputation since the 2023 acquisition.
Updated October 11, 2026: the volume claim, the rates and what the public record shows. Volume: Roc360's May 12, 2026 release says it “has directly funded over $20 billion across 50,000 loans to date since its founding in 2014,” and over $35 billion including acquired brands; an earlier version of this page used a larger $25B+ figure that we could not source, so it is replaced. Rates (sites read October 11, 2026): Roc Capital still shows DSCR from 5.39% and fix-and-flip from 8.25%, but FACo and CIVIC now show DSCR from 6.56% and bridge from 8.49%, so the 5.39% headline applies to the broker channel only. Securitization: the Roc shelf has three RTL deals (2021, 2024, 2025), the two recent ones rated by Morningstar DBRS; we found no 2026 deal and no KBRA rating. The February 18, 2026 Form ABS-15G is an annual filing that reports “no activity for the annual period,” not a sign of a new deal. New capital vehicles: a Form D/A signed September 11, 2026 shows Roc360 Insurance Dedicated Fund II, first sale August 6, 2026, with $75,000,000 sold, one investor and a $1,000,000 minimum (SEC); Fund I shows $154,277,798 sold with a $100,000,000 minimum. Neither is open to retail investors. Regulators: the CFPB database lists 25 complaints under Roc Capital Holdings LLC and 9 older ones under Civic Financial Services, Inc. (details in the CIVIC section). In 2025 HMDA data, Kiavi Funding reports 25,528 originated loans and Lima One Capital 2,379, while we found no Roc360 entity among the 4,790 institutions on the 2025 HMDA filer list.
Correction, September 28, 2026. This review said Roc Capital lends in 45 states and does not lend in North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah or Vermont. Roc Capital's site, read September 27, 2026, says: "At this time, we are unable to lend in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Vermont." Oregon and Utah are not excluded, and its footer lists Oregon and Utah licenses held by a Roc360 affiliate. Source: roccapital.com; see our September 27, 2026 check of 20 DSCR lenders.

Why this review exists
If you're shopping for a fix-and-flip or DSCR rental loan in 2026, you've probably seen Roc360 quoted somewhere — possibly under a different brand. The same parent now owns Roc Capital, FACo, CIVIC Financial Services, and (until consolidation) Haus Lending. Most borrowers don't realize they're getting quotes from the same balance sheet under three labels.
This review covers the corporate stack, the rate sheet, the regulatory and reputational record, the securitization trail, and where Roc360 actually wins versus Kiavi and Lima One. We have no affiliate relationship with Roc360 or any of its brands — the company has no retail-investor program. This is a borrower-side review.
The roll-up — what Roc360 actually owns
Roc360 was formed in January 2020 when the founders restructured the original Roc Capital hedge-fund-style real estate lender into a brand-portfolio holding company. Three acquisitions defined the modern company.
| Acquisition | Date | Seller | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finance of America Commercial (FACo) | March 14, 2023 | Finance of America Companies (NYSE: FOA) | Up to $30M earnout over 3 years. FACo had funded $6B+ across 25,000+ loans pre-deal. |
| CIVIC Financial Services | May 23, 2023 | PacWest Bancorp | Distressed sale during regional banking crisis. Origination assets only — PacWest retained pre-existing CIVIC loans. PacWest had taken a $29M goodwill impairment in Q4 2022 and cut approx. 200 CIVIC jobs in Q1 2023 before the deal. |
| Haus Lending | Pre-2023 (FACo subsidiary) | Inherited via FACo deal | Consolidated 2024-2025; hauslending.com 301-redirects to facolending.com today. |
The CIVIC deal is the load-bearing one. PacWest Bancorp lost roughly 89% of its market cap in 2023 after First Republic's failure triggered $20B+ in deposit runs across regional banks. PacWest sold CIVIC to Roc360 at fire-sale terms (price undisclosed). PacWest itself merged with Banc of California on November 30, 2023 (per Banc of California's 10-K) — meaning legacy CIVIC loans from before May 2023 went to Banc of California, not Roc360, but Banc of California said in its October 22, 2024 8-K that it “closed the sale of $1.95 billion of Civic loans in July” 2024, so who services a legacy loan today depends on who bought it. This causes ongoing borrower confusion that we'll come back to.

The Temasek capital backstop
What separates Roc360 from a typical leveraged private lender is the Singapore sovereign wealth fund anchor.
- August 2023: Roc360 launched Roc360 Real Estate Income Trust (a private mortgage REIT) with Temasek as anchor limited partner.
- July 2025: Closed an inaugural $150M Insurance Dedicated Fund with a major US annuity/retirement provider.
- January 8, 2026: Secured an additional $150M from Temasek for the home-renovation lending strategy.
- August–September 2026: A second private fund, Roc360 Insurance Dedicated Fund II, reports a first sale on August 6, 2026 and $75,000,000 sold to one investor in a Form D/A signed September 11, 2026, with a $1,000,000 minimum; the first fund reports $154,277,798 sold (SEC Form D/A, September 11, 2026). Both are private placements for institutions, not products for retail investors.
Sources: Roc360's January 2026 Temasek announcement, HousingWire coverage.
For a borrower, the Temasek anchor matters because it reduces the chance of a CIVIC-2023-style scenario — where a parent company in financial stress forces the lending subsidiary to ration originations, re-price mid-deal, or lay off staff. Sovereign wealth fund capital is the most patient capital in the world. That said, a Temasek LP commitment is not Temasek backing every loan — it backs the REIT, which buys loans originated across Roc360's brands. The retail borrower still bears the operational and servicing risk of whichever brand fronts their loan.
Securitization track record (DBRS-only)
Roc360 issues residential transitional loans (RTLs — fix-and-flip / bridge first-liens) into the asset-backed securities market through the RocMortgage Trust shelf, sponsored by the Roc360 REIT.
| Deal | Closed | Size | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inaugural unrated bridge | 2021 | approx. $200M | Unrated |
| RocMortgage Trust 2024-RTL1 | Nov 7, 2024 | $237.5M | DBRS Morningstar (A1: A; A2: A; M1: BBB; M2: BB; B: B). Class A1 yield 5.6%; M1 6.1%; M2 7.3%; B 9.8%. Two-year revolving. |
| RocMortgage Trust 2025-RTL1 | March 18, 2025 | $200M deal | DBRS Morningstar (Class A1 $149.4M: A (low); A2 $14.2M: BBB (low); M1 $13.7M: BB (low); M2 $12.7M: B (low)). Initial pool 448 loans, about $160.5M. Syndicated revolving, oversubscribed. DBRS calls it the third RTL securitization on the Roc shelf. |
| Form ABS-15G filing | February 18, 2026 | — | Annual Rule 15Ga-1 report for calendar 2025; Roc Capital Holdings checked “no activity for the annual period.” It is not a sign of a new deal. We found no 2026 RocMortgage Trust deal and no KBRA rating (checked October 11, 2026). |
Two notes for borrowers reading the capital signal:
- DBRS-only is a single-agency record. Kiavi rates with KBRA. Larger issuers use multiple agencies. Single-agency-rated ABS sells to a narrower buyer base — fine in benign markets, more vulnerable in tight ones. This is structural, not directly your problem as a borrower, but it bounds Roc360's ability to scale issuance through stress.
- Both Roc deals were oversubscribed, which says institutional capital still wants Roc-originated paper at scale — a positive signal of long-term funding stability.

Rate sheet (May 2026; DSCR and bridge rates rechecked October 11, 2026)
Rates change weekly and depend on FICO, experience, deal type, and channel (broker vs direct). The numbers below are starting/best-case rates published on each Roc360 brand site as of early May 2026.
| Product | Roc Capital (broker channel) | FACo / Haus | CIVIC |
|---|---|---|---|

Roc Capital's DSCR 5.39% starting rate is lower than Kiavi's advertised “as low as 6.125%” (October 8, 2026) and Lima One's 7.0% standard, but on October 11, 2026 only the broker channel advertises it: the FACo and CIVIC homepages now say 6.56%, so a direct borrower should expect the higher number. Whether you actually qualify for the starting rate depends on FICO 740+, prior rental experience, low LTV, and deal-level metrics. Treat it as a marketing rate, not an indicative one — our DSCR loan rate study by borrower tier breaks down how far real quotes drift from these advertised floors.
The CIVIC reputation gap (read this section carefully)
Here's where the borrower experience diverges from the institutional-capital-markets story.
Trustpilot: CIVIC sits at 1.5 out of 5 stars across 768 reviews as of October 8, 2026. That's not a borderline score — it's a lender-reputation crisis.
Recurring complaint themes (2024–2025):
- Hidden cross-collateral language tucked into loan documents
- Outrageous fees collected without delivering corresponding services (notably appraisal fees not refunded after deal failure)
- Multi-month closing delays (4-month closes referenced)
- One explicit borrower allegation: instructed to retract a negative online review or have funding withheld
- Servicing handoff confusion (we explain this below)
BBB: CIVIC is not BBB-accredited, though BBB rates it A+ (profile read October 8, 2026). Roc360 (the holding company) IS BBB-accredited as of November 12, 2021 (BBB profile). The corporate-level accreditation has not extended to a CIVIC reputation rehabilitation.
CFPB complaint database (checked October 11, 2026). Searching the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database by company name returns 25 complaints filed against Roc Capital Holdings LLC: by our count of the rows, 1 in 2019, 8 in 2024, 12 in 2025 and 4 in 2026 (the latest received July 29, 2026), 21 about mortgages and 4 about credit reports, 24 closed with explanation and 1 with non-monetary relief. Under the older name Civic Financial Services, Inc. the database lists 9 complaints received between 2014 and 2019, all about mortgages, and by our count 8 of the 9 show the company response “Untimely response.” We found no complaints filed under the names Roc360, Finance of America Commercial or FACo. Complaint counts are not adjusted for loan volume and the database is not a rating, but it is a regulator-hosted record that Trustpilot is not.
HMDA 2025. In the CFPB/FFIEC HMDA data for 2025, Kiavi Funding, Inc. reports 25,528 originated loans totaling about $7.79 billion and Lima One Capital, LLC 2,379 loans totaling about $912.7 million (2024: 3,761 and about $1.29 billion). We found no Roc Capital, Roc360, CIVIC or Finance of America Commercial entity among the 4,790 institutions on the 2025 filer list, so HMDA cannot be used to compare Roc360's volume with its peers.
The servicing-handoff trap. This is the most overlooked detail in Roc360 borrower complaints. Pre-May-2023 CIVIC loans were not transferred to Roc360 in the deal — PacWest retained those loans and their servicing. PacWest then merged with Banc of California on November 30, 2023, so legacy CIVIC loans (2021–early 2023 originations) went to Banc of California; Banc of California said in its October 22, 2024 8-K that it “closed the sale of $1.95 billion of Civic loans in July” 2024, so servicing of those loans may since have moved again. When those borrowers call Roc360 or CIVIC for help, they often get bounced — and that experience drives a meaningful share of the negative reviews. Borrowers who originated after May 2023 are, we believe, serviced by Roc360 directly through the REIT structure (we have not found a primary source that states this).

Pros and cons
Pros
- Roc Capital's DSCR starting rate (5.39%, October 11, 2026) is below Kiavi's 6.125% (October 8, 2026) — if you qualify and come through the broker channel; FACo and CIVIC show 6.56%.
- Lowest minimum loan ($50K via Roc Capital broker channel) — useful for low-cost-market investors.
- Vertically integrated stack: borrower can access lending, captive insurance (Elmsure) and captive appraisal management (Tamarisk) under one roof (Roc360's brand list of October 11, 2026 names Elmsure and Tamarisk Appraisals but no longer Wimba Title).
- Temasek-anchored REIT capital base reduces the risk of a parent-driven funding squeeze that has hit other BPL lenders in past tightening cycles.
- Two DBRS-rated securitizations (2024 and 2025) document institutional acceptance of Roc-originated paper at scale.
- Broker-channel reputation (Roc Capital wholesale) is materially better than direct-to-borrower experience — brokers consistently report positive experiences.
Cons
- CIVIC Trustpilot 1.5/5 across 768 reviews (October 8, 2026) is the loudest single data point in the review. Roc360 acquired CIVIC three years ago and the rating has not recovered.
- Recurring borrower complaint pattern: hidden cross-collateral language, slow closes, retained appraisal fees, and one alleged instance of review-retraction-or-no-funding.
- Servicing-handoff trap for legacy CIVIC borrowers: pre-May 2023 loans went to Banc of California (post-PacWest merger), not Roc360, and Banc of California sold $1.95B of Civic loans in July 2024, so servicing may have moved again. Confusion drives a meaningful share of negative reviews.
- No retail investor product exists. If you're researching an "investment opportunity," there isn't one (Roc360 REIT is Reg D 506 institutional only).
- DBRS-only rated securitizations narrow the institutional-buyer base versus a multi-agency-rated peer.
- Brand consolidation churn (hauslending.com → facolending.com 301-redirect) means borrowers who started at "Haus" are now in "FACo" pipelines — administrative friction during deals in flight.
- No public-parent transparency: Roc Capital Holdings is an LLC with no 10-K, no audited public financials, no MD&A — versus Lima One's MFA Financial NYSE parent.
When Roc360 actually wins for a borrower
Roc360 wins when:
- You're a mortgage broker or correspondent — Roc Capital's wholesale channel is the cleanest of Roc360's three borrower-facing options. Multiple broker-forum reports indicate the wholesale experience is meaningfully better than the direct-to-borrower CIVIC experience.
- You need the smallest possible loan ($50K floor in low-cost markets) and your alternative lenders won't go below $75K.
- You're a top-tier-credit DSCR borrower chasing the lowest published rate (5.39%, via Roc Capital's broker channel) and you can wait through a slower close.
- You want vertically integrated insurance + appraisal under one corporate umbrella (Elmsure and Tamarisk).
Roc360 doesn't win when:
- You're a first- or second-time direct-to-borrower flipper. The CIVIC reputation is real, and the quality gap to Kiavi (as few as 7 days advertised, 4.6-star Trustpilot, though BBB rates Kiavi F as of October 8, 2026) is wide enough to justify paying 50–100 bps more elsewhere.
- You need parent-level financial transparency. MFA Financial (Lima One's parent) files 10-Ks. Roc Capital Holdings does not.
- You want a lender with a multi-agency-rated securitization track record. Kiavi has 24 deals under the LHOME shelf; Roc has two.
