Sachem Capital Corp. SACH

Company Overview

Sachem Capital Corp. is a publicly traded real estate finance company organized as a real estate investment trust (REIT). The company specializes in originating, underwriting, funding, servicing, and managing short-term secured loans that are primarily backed by real estate. Sachem focuses largely on asset-based lending to real estate investors, developers, and small-scale operators involved in residential rehabilitation, renovation, development, and construction projects. The company operates within the specialty finance and mortgage REIT sectors, with revenue primarily generated through interest income, loan origination fees, servicing income, and related lending activities.

The company’s core business centers on hard-money and bridge lending, particularly in markets where borrowers may prioritize speed, flexibility, and collateral-based underwriting over traditional bank financing. Sachem has historically concentrated on smaller-balance commercial and residential real estate loans, often secured by first mortgage liens. Since its founding in 2010, the company has expanded from a Connecticut-focused lender into a broader regional platform with operations across multiple U.S. states. Its strategic positioning has been tied to local market expertise, direct origination capabilities, and a focus on underserved segments of real estate credit markets.
