A loan application just came in from Goode Investments LLC in Iowa. Is it a real business?

Yes. Iowa has it on file and the registration is active. Formed 28 April 2025, filing number 826168. Here is the record as the registry holds it:

No officers or members filed

Two gaps worth knowing before you lend: no EIN on file, and no officers or members listed — only a registered agent, Joseph Goode, at the same address as the business. Verifying the business would confirm the EIN against the IRS.
