Your NJ Lender for Hard Money
New Construction
The main benefit of private construction loans from hard money lender like Advest is speed to close and flexible underwriting. New construction loans are available only to experienced investors, contractors, and builders, who typically can borrow up to 70% of the as-completed value.
According to the National Association of Realtors, there is a shortage of 5.5 million homes in the U.S. The most underbuilt area of the country is the New York City – New Jersey Metro area where there are more job openings than single-family permits.
Since we are intimately familiar with the New Jersey market, we have the local touch other lenders lack. With our understanding of the market, we move faster and have developed strong relationships with builders in NJ.
Fast Fix and Flip Financing
The housing stock in New Jersey is growing older with every passing year. The greatest period of home construction in New Jersey was between 1950 and 1970 and today, the median age of a home in New Jersey is 53 years. Older homes often lack features buyers expect to see like spacious kitchens, open floor plans, and walk-in closets. Our talented group of fix and flip borrowers have the vision to transform a property into a highly marketable sale-ready home.
Speed is critical to capitalizing on investment opportunities, and Advest provides funding solutions that traditional lenders cannot. We can generally close in 10 business days and we can cover up to 85% of the purchase price and 100 percent of the rehab costs for a property.
Bridge Loans
In the world of real estate, a bridge loan is a type of loan that “bridges” the gap between short-term cash needs and permanent financing. Since bridge loans can usually be funded in two weeks or less, NJ real estate investors have increasingly turned to them over the years. Advest funds many stabilized rental properties in NJ where the investor needs to close quickly since permanent financing will not be available before the closing date.
We have funded a lot of bridge loans in New Jersey over the years so we are familiar with the various markets and can save the real estate investor time and money.
