DEAL OF THE WEEK
Our first DOTW of August is from Geri Filipov who worked with an experienced investor on his third property in Lake Forest, Illinois. This stunning two-story brick home in the north shore suburb had an as is price of $670,000 and following the investment of $125,000 in rehab costs the subject saw its ARV soar to $1 million!

July 21, 2021
DEAL OF THE WEEK
This DOTW is from Kyle Concannon and shows how we help our clients with their residential real estate investments in ways beyond our great rates and terms. We were all set to finalize a deal on a $1 million property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a 30-year fixed rate of 4.25%. Then just two days before closing we learned the borrower’s existing insurance provider couldn’t provide the proper coverage.
That’s when we stepped into high gear and contacted David Gross with our affiliate Constructive Insurance to see if they could make it happen. David and his team were able to provide a policy that met our requirements and saved the deal and none of it would have happened without our in-house lending and insurance expertise. This Deal of the Week saw yet another happy borrower and is just one more example of what we can do for our borrowers and brokers that others can’t.
Speed. Flexibility. And Solutions. That’s the Constructive Advantage.

DEAL OF THE WEEK
This first DOTW of July is a hot one from the Bronx, New York. The borrower was looking do a Cash-Out Refinance of a property appraised at $1,025,000, with an LTV of 65%. The existing loan payoff was $340,965 and the borrower received a new low rate of 4.375%. Sheronda Oliver and the rest of the team made this happen in a few short weeks putting our trademark speedy process and creative solutions into full effect for our clients. Flexible Options. Creative Solutions. And a Speedy Process. That’s the Constructive Advantage.
June 30, 2021
DEAL OF THE WEEK
In the latest DOTW is from Brandon Harrington who helped an experienced General Contractor and Real Estate Agent fulfill a longtime goal of becoming a real estate investor in her own right. This client had assisted many of her own clients with their projects but until now never really had the time to get into the space for herself.
Our client found a great deal that she did not want to pass up and we were able to help finance the Flip. We walked the borrower through the financial requirements and even assisted with plans and permits. We were able to approve financing quickly on a very profitable project below 45% ARV LTV! Turning investment goals into reality – that’s the Constructive Advantage.

DEAL OF THE WEEK

Our client purchased this 10-unit property in the Gresham neighborhood on Chicago’s far south side for a purchase price of $452,000 at 5.75% with an LTV of 75% and a 1.92 DSCR.

June 10, 2021
DEAL OF THE WEEK
This latest DOTW is from Annette Montesano who closed not one but TWO loans in lightning fast time – 4 days from underwriting approval to clear to close. One of the hallmarks of working with Constructive Loans is speed. And when we say we can close your loan in 2 weeks or less we mean it! That’s one reason why brokers and investors love working with us. It’s not just because we have simplified the process, but also because our teammates like Annette know exactly what brokers need so they can get funding for their client’s residential real estate investment projects as quickly as possible. That’s the Constructive Advantage.
June 2, 2021
DEAL OF THE WEEK
This DOTW is from Kyle Concannon and it’s a perfect example of how adaptive and solution-focused Constructive Loans can be when needed. It’s a mega-deal from an experienced rental property investor who will also be sending us another multi-pack of properties to close on this month. The origination partner and the Constructive team overcame numerous obstacles to close before the lender was set to charge another expensive extension fee to the borrower. The day before the closing we realized the existing lender was off by $600,000 on the payoff statement. Our team evaluated the situation, regrouped, and reset the loans to close on schedule. Not only were the financials on this deal great for the borrower but our service and attention to detail shows how we go above and beyond for our clients to help them reach their investment goals.
- 14 properties (2 units, single family homes, and condos)
- $3MM total loan amount
- 4.375% 30 year fixed loans
That’s the Constructive Advantage.
