Bridge loan lender in New Jersey for property investors

Your closing date is set, but the property isn't ready for long-term financing. You need a lender who can review the deal, explain the terms, and tell you what comes next. We work with New Jersey investors and brokers on acquisitions, refinances, and properties in transition. Our team reviews the asset, the deal structure, and your plan to repay the loan.

Bridge Financing for Your Next New Jersey Deal

Your financing needs to match the contract deadline, the work ahead, and the exit. We review those together, so you can move from the property you're buying today to the sale or refinance you're planning.

Acquire a Property That Needs Work

Send us the purchase price, current condition, scope of work, and contract deadline. Our team reviews the acquisition and the work ahead in one conversation, with the property's value and your exit at the center.

Reposition a Rental or Mixed-Use Asset

Renovations, lease-up, and changes in use can reshape the financing your property needs. We review the current income, project budget, and planned sale or refinance together to structure the next stage.

Refinance While You Prepare the Exit

An existing loan can mature before your renovation or lease-up is done. Our bridge refinance options cover that gap. Bring us the current payoff, the remaining work, and your repayment plan so we can review the next stage.

Your Deal, Reviewed In-House

We're a founder-led private real estate lender backed by friends and family capital. Underwriting happens in-house, with no outside approval committees. You can talk to the team reviewing the property and deal structure instead of relying on a self-service application.

We work directly with investors and brokers to review vacant units, unfinished work, and near-term maturities in the context of the full deal.

Bridge Loan Terms: Know What You Are Comparing

Review the bridge terms that matter before you send the deal.

Item	Short-term bridge terms
Minimum loan amount	$250,000
Interest rate	From 10%
Loan term	6 to 24 months
Maximum financing	Up to 70% of after-repair value
Property types	Most residential investment and mixed-use properties
Prepayment penalty	None
Documentation	No-doc program
Minimum FICO	620
Prior experience required	None

After-repair value is the estimated value once the planned work is complete. It's different from the purchase price or the property's current value.

Your term sheet lays out the full cost of the loan, so you can compare total cost of capital, not just the rate.

New Jersey Bridge Loan Questions

How quickly can I get a term sheet and close?

Can you review a New Jersey mixed-use property?

What exit strategy should I include?

Show us the sale or refinance you're planning and the work needed to get there. Include the renovation or lease-up schedule, projected value, and current financing. That gives our team the full picture of how the loan fits your project.

Can a broker submit the deal?

Yes. Broker-friendly, no upfront fees, and your client is protected.
