Hard Money Loans For New Construction

Illinois is currently lagging behind the majority of states when it comes to residential new construction, with Chicago being one of the most underbuilt metro areas in the country. As of May 2021 there’s been a 15% decrease year over year in newly listed homes, highlighting the lack of available inventory across the entire state. With only a two month supply available and a minimum of three month supply needed to qualify as a healthy market, the new construction investors have a chance to fill these inventory slots and receive a healthy profit after selling.

ABL works with experienced builders and developers by providing hard money new construction loans that finance up to 90% of the land value and 100% of construction costs. These new construction loans provide fast and flexible financing to experienced builders and developers looking to scale their real estate business. These bridge loans are designed to close quickly and provide the capital needed for new construction projects to to be acquired, completed, and sold in one streamlined process.
