Quick Close Hard Money Loans

Fast Fix And Flip Financing

Fix and flip investments can be extremely profitable for real estate investors. As private hard money lenders in Florida specializing in fix and flip loans, ABL’s primary focus is providing fast and reliable access to capital for our investors.

It takes talent to be able to spot a problem property and envision a renovated, sale-ready home. It also takes money to acquire the property and do the work. We primarily provide 12 month loans to both first time and experienced investors. In a state where home values and population are increasing, and time on market is decreasing, investing in real estate is a smart and savvy strategy.

Whether you’re a new investor or have done multiple deals, ABL has assembled a fix and flip guide for the state of Florida that breaks down investing in the sunshine state and ensures the right path forward.

Access to quick, reliable funding is critical to the success of any fix and flip deal. In a hot market, having the ability to close quickly gives investors a distinct advantage in the purchasing market. ABL provides financing solutions that typical lenders cannot. We can close in as few as three days and our average closing time is 10 days.

ABL has close relationships with many borrowers who invest in some of the top fix and flip cities in the state. Our investors can rely on us to cover up to 85% of purchase price and 100 percent of rehab costs so they can focus on what really matters- flipping their property for a profit!

New Construction

ABL is extremely active funding new construction projects with hard money loans in Florida. When conventional financing is not the right answer for a project, experienced investors, contractors and builders can trust us as a top hard money lender to fund 70% of the land value and 100 percent of construction costs.

Our underwriting criteria is flexible, however, we won’t fund a loan if a borrower’s experience doesn’t convince us that everyone involved in the deal will profit. We’re happy to discuss your project to see if you qualify for our hard money construction loans in Florida..

Flexible Rental Loan Options

Asset Based Lending is proud to offer term rental loans for Florida real estate investors. These private rental loans provide funding for buy and hold investors that want to begin or expand their rental investment portfolio. We offer rental property financing for 1-4 family properties with a wide range of loan options including 30-year amortizing, ARM, or interest-only options. Our team works with investors of all experience levels, assessing the deal based on the income-producing viability of the property.

These loans are designed for investors following the BRRRR strategy: buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat. By using ABL to fund your initial purchase and rehab, you can grow your rental portfolio much faster and begin generating your passive monthly income sooner than later. Our unique capital structure allows us to offer the most competitive loans, with rates as low as 5% and leverage up to 80% LTV. If you’re a BRRRR investor looking for Florida rental loans, contact us today.
