Susan Botros
Vice President of Sales

Prior to joining the ABL team, Susan worked as a lending consultant for a couple of large banks where she focused on commercial financing. Susan believed that working for a lender of that size caused the process to become disjointed, and lacked any human touch – which is where ABL came in. At ABL, things are different. Susan enjoys building  in-depth relationships with her investors, and the flexibility to build a best-fit loan package for each individual borrower. Susan has been a student of real estate her entire life as a part of her family business, and holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and marketing. Susan is also bilingual, speaking both English and Arabic.

It was during his time there that Zak honed his organizational and client relationship building skills, and discovered his interest in real estate. Wanting to align himself with a company in the real estate field that aligned with his core values, Zak sought out ABL after meeting other team members at a local meetup. As one of the Loan Officers responsible for the New Jersey lending area, Zak appreciates the ability to work with motivated investors across various backgrounds and experience levels that help him learn something new every day. When you work with Zak, you receive attention to detail, creative deal structures, and a partnership that helps grow your business.

Your Premier Lender for Hard Money in NJ

Fast Fix And Flip Financing

Having the vision to identify a problem property and transform it into a beautiful, sale-ready home takes an incredible amount of skill. It also takes capital to purchase the property and do the rehab work.  Asset Based Lending’s home fix and flip loans are the link to profitability and leverage in this scenario, and these real estate investor loans have always been the primary focus for ABL.  Not only do we provide 12-month hard money loans for real estate investors and professionals, but we also lend to qualified first-time borrowers as well.

Speed is critical to capitalizing on investment opportunities, and ABL provides financing solutions that traditional lending institutions cannot. We can close in three to four days if all of the paperwork is in order, and the average closing time is just 10 days for our loans — which cover up to 85% of the purchase price and 100 percent of the rehab costs for a property. For more information such as rates and requirements, check out our additional details on fix and flip loans.

New Construction

Quick and flexible underwriting for new construction is often an essential component of profitability in various seasonal as well as market conditions. ABL provides new construction loans when conventional financing is not the right answer. New construction loans are available only to experienced investors, contractors and builders, who typically can borrow up to 70% of the land value and 100 percent of the construction costs.

While our underwriting criteria for construction loans is flexible, with no minimum credit score requirements, borrowers can be sure of our faith in them because we won’t issue a loan if our experience doesn’t convince us that everyone involved in the deal will profit.
