Chris Hart, Founder

Chris started Waldorf Oaks in 2024 after years of investing in DFW himself, buying, rehabbing, and holding in the market where he grew up and is raising his family.

Waldorf Oaks Capital is a direct private lender focused on single-family fix-and-flip, bridge, DSCR, construction, and cash-out refinance loans across Texas. Since opening, we’ve closed 20+ deals and deployed over $2.7M statewide.

DFW is home base; it’s where our market knowledge runs deepest, with deals in South Fort Worth, Haltom City, Arlington, Mesquite, and more. We also lend across Texas and bring the same direct, personal approach to every deal we fund.

Every loan is underwritten and approved by the same person you spoke to on day one.

How We Actually Work

Direct Access

When you reach out, you hear back the same day. No queue, no layers. That means real flexibility when a deal needs a creative structure, and no time lost to internal handoffs.

No Surprises at Closing

You’ll know exactly what your loan costs before you commit to anything. Clear terms, simple fee structure, nothing hidden. Transparency isn’t a feature; it’s how we operate.

Straightforward Underwriting

We lend up to 70% of ARV on fix-and-flip and bridge deals. If the property makes sense and the numbers work, we move forward.

A Partner Beyond the Loan

Repeat borrowers earn better rates. The goal is a long-term relationship, not a single transaction, and we bring our DFW connections to every deal we fund.
