Ohio Hard Money Loans For Real Estate Investors

Fast Closing Fix and Flip Loans

Asset Based Lending works with real estate investors that know how to take the worst property in the best neighborhood and turn it into a gorgeous home that sells for a much higher value. These types of fix and flips require fast and flexible financing to remain competitive in the market, especially with housing inventory at an all-time low. We offer 12-month interest-only bridge loans that help real estate investors finance the purchase and rehab of the property. ABL flip loans provide funding up to 90% of the property purchase and 100% of the rehab costs. Whether you’re working on your first Ohio fix and flip or you’re a full-time pro looking for additional capital, ABL is ready to finance your next success. Our team are experts in the local real estate markets, understanding that a rehab loan for a Columbus multifamily needs to be written than a single family fix and flip loan in Cincinnati.

As direct hard money lenders in Cincinnati and more areas in Ohio, we have full control of our capital which allows us to offer flexible fix and flip loans. That means our borrowers can receive a loan that matches their investment strategy, whether that means a lower interest rate, maximum leverage, zero points, or something else that fits your business model. These rehab loans are designed for Ohio real estate investors to scale, increasing their number of flips per year and more important increasing their profit potential year over year. The more deals you do with Asset Based Lending, the better terms we can offer you, which means you can maximize your ROI by working with us. If you’re ready to grow your fix and flip business using the best Ohio hard money loans, then contact us today.

Reliable New Construction Loans for Experienced Investors

Record-low housing inventory is an issue across the country, and Ohio is no different. There’s currently only a two month supply of inventory in the Ohio market- for reference, a real estate market is considered healthy and balanced if it maintains a minimum of three month supply of inventory. Builders and developers have an advantage over other real estate investors, as their projects are able to fill these inventory gaps in markets where demand is continuing to rise. Central Ohio is actually one of the most underbuilt metro areas in the country, meaning experienced builders who can secure lots in the area will be providing a great service to the market while reaping the rewards of rising house prices.

Asset Based Lending offers new construction loans for experienced builders and developers that want to scale their business. Our hard money new construction loans are only available to experienced investors, builders, and contractors who have recent experience with new construction. These new construction loans allow investors to borrow up to 90% of the land value and 100% of the construction costs. 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. If you’re looking for Ohio new construction loans that can help you grow your real estate business, then contact us today.

Rental Loans For BRRRR Investors

Investing in rental property has become one of the most popular and accessible real estate investments, as it has a lower barrier to entry cost and is achievable for investors of all experience levels. Asset Based Lending provides simple and reliable rental loans that allows real estate investors to buy and hold properties across popular Ohio markets. Our rental loans start as low as 5% with leverage up to 80% and a variety of options to match your investment strategy. We provide rental loans for properties between 1 and 9 units across different housing types such as multifamily, condos, townhomes, single apartments, etc. ABL can work with you around your investment strategy to ensure that you receive a rental loan that matches your business plan.

These rental loans are designed for investors utilizing the BRRRR strategy, whether you’re just starting out with your first rental property or you have a current portfolio that you’re looking to expand. With a single loan cap of $3M  and portfolio loan cap of $3M, we can help investors who are at different points of their investment business. ABL rental loans can be used for various lease lengths as well, meaning investors could use these as Airbnb loans if that matches their end goal.
