About Rhode Island

The market we know.

Rhode Island is the smallest state in America, but its real estate markets are substantial — Providence (Brown University and a healthcare economy) and Newport (luxury STR and tourism) anchor the state.

Matrix funds DSCR rentals and fix-and-flip across Providence, STR loans for Newport and the southern coast, and bridge financing on small multifamily.
