If you are a developer in search of a real estate loan, the process can be streamlined with a company that has experience in these specific types of loans, according to Bryan Ziegenfuse, a managing partner indirect lender I Fund Philly. Typically, developers are looking for fix and flip loans, acquisition and construction loans or bridge financing, Bryan R. Ziegenfuse said.
The first, a fix and flip loan, provides developers and property owners with the funds to purchase a property, make repairs and updates as needed with the intent to sell the property in a relatively short time frame after the remodel has been completed.
Second, acquisition and construction loans offer the funds to build a project. According to Bryan Ziegenfuse, after the project is completed, the property owner often sells or refinances into a long-term loan.
