Land loans

Land loans in New York and New Jersey.

Private financing to buy or refinance land and lots in New York and New Jersey, like our $265,000 land loan in the Bronx. Term sheet in a few hours.

How land loans work

Banks often will not lend on land at all, or take too long when a seller wants to close. A private lender looks at the land, its value and your plan. Brooklyn Bridge Capital lends on land in New York and New Jersey, and one listed example on our site is a $265,000 land loan in the Bronx.

In general, land is financed more conservatively than a building because it produces no income, so lenders usually advance a smaller share of the value and focus on the plan: building, selling or refinancing. A clear plan and a realistic exit make a land loan easier to approve.

From land to building

If you plan to build, our construction loans cover ground-up projects with interest-only payments during the construction timeframe and the option to convert to permanent financing at the certificate of occupancy. For ground-up deals, lenders generally look at your land equity, the budget, the plans and permits, your track record and the exit: a sale of units or a refinance.

Land can also be part of a bigger picture: a bridge loan to close quickly on a lot before the deadline, or a cash-out refinance on land you already own.
