Andrew Jubelt and Avant Capital Partners provides commercial mortgages for stabilized

and in-transition investment properties nationwide. They offer permanent financing solutions for stabilized assets and bridge or interim loans for properties that are in-transition.

Avant Capital Partners is pleased to announce the origination of a $1,300,000 bridge loan for a four-story, fully stabilized, mixed-use building located in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York City.

What is a bridge loan?

A bridge loan is interim financing for an individual or business until permanent financing or the next stage of financing is obtained and are often used for commercial real estate purchases to quickly close on a property, retrieve real estate from foreclosure, or take advantage of a short-term opportunity in order to secure long-term financing.

Why Brooklyn Heights?

The property is located on a tree-lined residential street in Brooklyn Heights, an established neighborhood adjacent to Downtown Brooklyn. It offers direct access to Manhattan, located just a quarter-mile away from the Borough Hall subway stop that serves the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R trains, and is less than a mile away from the Brooklyn Bridge.

Built circa 1901, the property sports a façade of red brick with decorative black molding at the crown of the roof. It contains a net rent-able area of 4,430 square feet, of which 3,830 square feet are above grade, and is currently divided among one medical office duplex unit and two duplex apartment units with terraces.

In addition to historical charm and direct access to the employment, cultural, and entertainment opportunities available in Manhattan, residential rents in Brooklyn Heights are about 30% lower than in Downtown Manhattan. Demand for residential and commercial real estate in Brooklyn is strong, with high occupancy and increasing rents, making the area the perfect investment locale.

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, in 2010 the Obama administration passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, introducing comprehensive regulation to the marketplace.

The fear of another financial crisis, manifested in high regulatory oversight, has derailed a major function of commercial banks. Stipulations of the Dodd-Frank reforms require that banks set aside more capital for each loan as coverage in the event a borrower defaults. These regulations have been particularly challenging for small-scale developers and building owners, as smaller loans are more often deemed non-bankable.

Bridge lenders such as Avant Capital Partners provide a solution to this inefficiency in the lending system by offering short-term loans to small-scale real estate developers, owners and operators.

Andrew D. Jubelt is a principal Avant Capital Partners and is an experienced developer, owner and operator of commercial real estate, including more than 10,000 multifamily and senior housing units. Avant Capital Partners offers bridge loans to meet the needs of borrowers purchasing or holding properties that are being re-positioned, re-tenanted, improved or otherwise redeveloped

Bridge lenders have become key players in the “shadow banking system.” These non-bank financial intermediaries facilitate the creation of credit across the global financial system, but these members are not subject to regulatory oversight, and have the flexibility to front borrowers their desired capital without being held back by regulations, inspections, fines and penalties that have become commonplace in commercial banks.

Avant Capital Partners’ bridge lending program is geared towards assisting commercial and residential developers in capitalizing on time-sensitive and other non-bankable transactions that require flexible funding.

As a principal at Avant Capital Partners, Andrew Jubelt can assist in providing a broad range of loan programs that can provide you or your clients with the commercial real estate funding you need.

AVANT Capital Partners sponsored the 14th Annual Building Brooklyn Award at a ceremony and cocktail reception held on July 23, 2014. Hosted by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, the Building Brooklyn Awards recognizes recently completed construction and renovation projects that enrich Brooklyn's diverse neighborhoods and economy.

According to Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President Carlo A. Scissura,"Brooklyn's reputation for creativity and design is one of the reasons that people want to come here to work, play and live. These awards represent the very best Brooklyn has to offer in a variety of disciplines… designing and building interesting projects that enhance the Brooklyn's communities and quality of life."

Ofer Cohen, Co-Chair of the Chamber's Real Estate Committee, says of the awards "the quality and integrity of the work that went into these projects is a reflection of the skill and ability of the development teams to not only create a viable economic paradigm but also the sensibility to balance the needs and desires of the entire community."

Sponsoring this worthwhile recognition of the finest in construction and renovation projects in Brooklyn, NY is aligned with the goals of Andrew Julbelt and AVANT Capital Partners, whose team of real estate professionals possesses diverse backgrounds in all aspects of commercial real estate investment, banking, brokerage and lending across the Northeast Corridor from 
Washington DC to Boston. Their focus is on developing a direct, balance sheet lending platform, providing flexible capital solutions to borrowers and referral sources, and providing an underwriting process that protects the interests of investors.

Andrew Jubelt is a Principal at Avant Capital Partners. Avant Capital offers bridge loans to meet the needs of borrowers purchasing or holding properties that are being repositioned, re-tenanted, improved or otherwise redeveloped and has recently originated a $3,275,000 bridge loan secured by a property located at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Lincoln Road in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The interest-only 24-month loan carries an interest rate of 8.00% and refinanced the first mortgage. 

Demand for residential and commercial real estate in Brooklyn is strong with high occupancy and increasing rents. Under-priced land and room for upward growth in rents is the magic formula that developers seek in the next hot neighborhood.  

“Prospect-Lefferts Gardens Is ‘On the Map’” ― New York Times, March 13, 2014

Prospect Lefferts Gardens, like much of Brooklyn, is undergoing a rapid demographic change. New residential developments are attracting residents from Manhattan who enjoy more affordable rents, proximity to the 585-acre Prospect Park and public transposition access to Manhattan via the B, Q, 2 and 5 trains. Residential rents in Prospect Lefferts Gardens are about 50% lower than in Manhattan. 

Residents often cite the area as “Brooklyn’s best-kept secret,” bordering the east side of Prospect Park and down the road from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, with a substantial and attractive historic district, and subway stops for three express trains. It’s also a community with no hard-and-fast height limits on development, and its real estate can cost as little as half that on the other side of the park

Financial innovation and the rise of the investor class have changed the investment landscape. One such innovation that has gained traction as an addition to retail and institutional portfolios is the investment class broadly known as structured products.

Structured products offer retail investors easy access to derivatives. Andrew Jubelt and Avant Capital Partners provide attractive risk-adjusted returns on structured debt and equity investments that provide investors diversification outside the public markets.

What Exactly Are Structured Products?

Structured products are designed to facilitate highly customized risk-return objectives and can be thought of as fixed deposits or debt with features of derivatives. This is done by taking a traditional security, such as a conventional investment-grade bond, and replacing the usual payment features (e.g. periodic coupons and final principal) with non-traditional payoffs derived not from the issuer's own cash flow, but from the performance of one or more underlying assets.

Why Use Structured Products?

The purpose of a structured product is to protect the principal and at the same time give returns linked to stocks. Does this mean all your money is invested in the stock market? The answer is no, as there is no fixed criterion.

What are the Benefits of Structured Products?

• Flexible structure;
• Adaptation to your personal risk profile;
• Different underlyings are bundled together in a single instrument;
• Access to a broader range of investment instruments.

According to the spring forecast by The Crittenden Report ®, the nation’s leading report on real estate finance, good feelings will be a driving force in land loans. As construction picks up, private money lenders will be bullish on land financing nationwide.  All this optimism will result in private lenders filling the gap left behind by institutional lenders that avoid land by providing more non-recourse financing this year.

Bridge Loan Space Grows Rapidly

Bridge lenders will fund more bridge deals thanks to the strong takeout market and increasing property values. The sub-$5M bridge loan space will grow rapidly, forcing lenders to get creative on small deals and underwrite more aggressively as competition increases.

And while multifamily and single-family land will be favored, The Crittenden Report recommends watching for an expansion in land zoned for mixed-use, both residential and retail. Retail land will need a strong anchor and lenders will look closely at leasing and location when deciding on deals.
