Why Delaware Investors Choose Fix and Flips

Fix and flips are one of the most consistent and reliable forms of real estate investing, offering profits that allow investors the ability to funnel that capital into their next projects. In 2022, Delaware generated the largest returns on investment (ROI) from fix and flips, providing a 96.1% return on average. According to ATTOM Data Solutions, despite selling in a down market, Delaware fix and flip investments saw an average 26.9% ROI as of May 2023. Flippers grossed $193,245 per property in 2022, making Delaware fix and flips the largest return on investment in 2022. More than one-third of real estate investors use outside financing for their projects, so rehabilitation construction is that much easier for the borrower. Our fix and flip loans focus on closing in 10 days on average, so our borrowers never miss an opportunity due to financial delays. Whether you need to close fast, are seeking flexible loan terms, or another lender simply dropped the ball, ABL is here to help.

Using Hard Money Loans for Fix and Flips

Securing financing for a fix and flip investment demands a lender who can finalize deals quickly and offer an array of loan alternatives. This is the reason why a significant number of real estate investors favor hard money loans for their fix and flip ventures. Such loans can be closed in under two weeks and have flexible terms. Asset Based Lending has been known to finalize loans in as little as two business days when all necessary paperwork is in order. These expedited loans afford fix and flip investors the chance to capture deals that might otherwise be lost with other financing choices. Apart from current bank statements and a credit assessment, hard money lenders typically overlook the need for documents like tax records or proof of income. Investors who have tried to borrow from traditional banks or other financial institutions are all too familiar with the resistance. These projects are naturally high risk, and banks often shy away from them. If they do decide to lend, the process is typically slow and comes with numerous loan conditions, such as prepayment penalties or extensive documentation requirements, that can be detrimental to the deal from the investor’s perspective. When it comes to fast and effective lending for fix and flips in Delaware, hard money loans are the top choice for borrowers, and no one does it better than ABL.

Delaware New Construction Investment Info

Delaware favors building a home rather than buying one, where home hunters could save around $96,000 if they build a home as of March 2023. However, the supply of newly constructed homes in Delaware is limited. If there is no way for homebuyers to acquire land or get regulatory approval, then new construction in Delaware will continue to decrease. As of April 2023, there is a 2.6 months’ supply available, but home prices in Delaware are predicted to remain stable throughout 2023. Also, because of the strong demand for homes across various Delaware demographics, new buyers are entering the market. As a result, inventory is limited with fewer foreclosures.

Choosing ABL for New Construction Loans

With the surging popularity of real estate investing and the continuous growth of new construction, an increasing number of investors are seeking extra capital and discovering that it is not as straightforward as it initially seems. An initial choice for many investors is to approach banks; however, banks are highly risk-averse and often shy away from granting loans for new construction due to their excessively restrictive criteria or flat-out loan denials. While some investors seek out bank financing or private money loans, they realize the slow nature and strict guidelines of bank loans or lack of reliability from a private money lender ends up costing them deals or causing more issues instead of making things easy. Private hard money lenders in Delaware are common and popular, as the hard money loans they offer are perfect for new construction projects. A hard money loan offers the best of both worlds by combining the stability and dependability of a traditional bank loan with the swiftness and adaptability of a private money loan. This financing solution ensures that borrowers can have complete confidence in the guaranteed and timely delivery of their funds. Whether you aspire to construct a few homes annually or are prepared to expand into multifamily development, reach out to us today to discuss your upcoming projects.

Hard Money Bridge Loans for Stabilized Property

As fluctuations are observed in real estate markets, it’s important for borrowers to adapt their exit strategies accordingly. This is why Asset Based Lending is now offering bridge loans for stabilized properties, presenting borrowers the flexibility to recalibrate their investment and wait until the market conditions align with their intended exit. These bridge loans cater to investors who have recently finished a renovation or ground up construction but consider the current market conditions unfavorable for their existing exit strategy, so they decide to hold the property as a rental. If you’re an investor considering a fully equipped rental property that you plan to sell or refinance once the mortgage rates decrease, this may be a suitable solution for you. Regardless of the situation, an interest-only loan without pre-payment penalties is available to bridge the financial gap.

How Do these stabilized Bridge Loans Work?

Our 2-year debt service coverage loans can help bridge your financing for up to 24 months with no prepayment penalty, so you can exit the loan whenever you’re ready. With extensions available for an additional fee, we’ll make sure you’re properly financed from start to finish so that you have time to determine your final exit strategy and capitalize on your investment at the right time. We can provide stabilized financing for properties up to 20 units, using the lesser of either market rent or leased rent to determine the DSCR and deliver you competitive loan terms. While all loans are different and structured to meet the individual investor’s needs, the typical stabilized loan is a 2-year interest-only loan with rates starting at 10.5% and LTV up to 65%-70%. Loan terms are determined based on factors such as borrower experience, FICO score, and DSCR, using the lesser of either market rent or leased rent to determine your DSCR. If you have a deal that requires temporary bridge financing, then contact us today.
