New Construction Loans

Building in New Haven means navigating permits, labor costs, and timelines. Our new construction funding covers single-family spec homes and multifamily residential projects.

Bridge Loans

Timing gaps happen in New Haven real estate. Maybe you need to close before permanent financing is ready, or you're waiting on another sale to fund your next purchase.

What Makes Unitas Different in New Haven

  1. The Reliability of a Bank, The Agility of a Partner
    Backed by $4.5 billion in institutional capital, funding is never a question at closing. But we're not a bank drowning in bureaucracy—we're a direct lender built for real estate investors. You get financial stability without committee meetings, policy manuals, and loan officers who've never seen a construction site.

  2. More Ways to Approve Your Deal
    Traditional lenders have rigid boxes. If your deal doesn't fit perfectly, you're rejected. We evaluate New Haven deals based on property fundamentals, market conditions, and whether your exit strategy makes financial sense. We customize loan structures around your specific project, not force square pegs into round holes.

  3. Certainty from True Direct Lending
    We own our capital. We're not brokers shopping your deal around, and we don't sell loans to secondary markets. When we approve your loan, that approval is final. No surprise committee reviews, no funding falling through three days before closing, no last-minute changes.

  4. Speed Through the Entire Process
    Closing in 10 business days gets you into the property. Our draw requests process in 24 to 48 hours after inspection completion. Your New Haven renovation or construction project moves at the speed of actual work, not bureaucracy. Most projects need about 10 draws, and every one gets processed with the same urgency as initial funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of investment properties do you finance in New Haven?

We finance business-purpose real estate throughout New Haven and Connecticut: single-family homes, multifamily properties, townhomes, mixed-use residential buildings. We fund fix-and-flip projects, new construction, bridge loans, and DSCR rental property acquisitions. All loans go through business entities—we don't do consumer mortgages or owner-occupied financing.

How quickly can you close on a New Haven investment property?

10 business days with complete documentation. Pre-approvals deliver in 24 hours, and final approvals typically happen within 3 to 5 business days depending on title clearance and property valuation. Compare that to 30-45 days minimum for traditional banks, and you'll understand why serious New Haven investors choose hard money over conventional financing.

What are your loan-to-cost ratios for New Haven fix-and-flip projects?

We offer loan-to-cost ratios up to 92.5% on qualified fix-and-flip projects in New Haven, covering both purchase price and renovation budget. Actual LTC depends on property type, location, your experience level, and project scope. We underwrite based on after repair value and exit strategy. Rates start at 8.99%, and we customize terms to match your project timeline.

Do you require personal income verification for DSCR loans in New Haven?

No. Our DSCR loans in New Haven qualify based on the rental property's income potential, not your personal W-2s, tax returns, or employment history. We evaluate whether the property generates enough rent to cover debt service. You provide business entity documentation and demonstrate liquidity for down payment and reserves, but we're not requesting personal income verification.

What areas of New Haven do you serve?

We provide private real estate loans throughout New Haven, surrounding Connecticut communities, and the metro area. We lend in urban and suburban markets across the region.
