FAQ

A New Construction Loan is a short-term, often interest-only loan specifically designed to provide financing for the building of a new property. Unlike traditional mortgages that are based on the existing value of a property, New Construction Loans are based on the projected value of the property upon completion of the construction project.

Fix and flip loans can be used for various types of properties including single-family homes, multi-unit properties, condominiums, condo-hotels, townhouses and other property types, case by case.

Access to Financing: For foreign investors looking to build and invest in US real estate, New Construction Loans provide a vital source of financing for projects that might not qualify for traditional loans due to the lack of existing structures or proven rental income.

Customization and Control: By financing a new construction project, foreign investors have the opportunity to tailor the property to specific market needs or personal investment strategies, potentially increasing the property’s value and attractiveness in the rental or sales market.

Potential for Higher Returns: New constructions can offer higher returns on investment, especially in high-demand areas or when completed projects fulfill a particular market gap. The ability to start fresh allows for modern designs and energy-efficient materials, making the property more appealing to tenants and buyers.

Market Entry: These loans can serve as an entry point into the US real estate market, allowing foreign investors to establish a presence and begin building a portfolio in locations with strong growth potential.

Capital Appreciation: Investing in new construction in up-and-coming areas can lead to significant capital appreciation, especially if the development contributes positively to the local area or fills a niche demand.
