About Abbey Mortgage
We want you to know everything about Abbey Mortgage, so you know why you should partner with us. Abbey Mortgage and Investments Inc is a privately owned and operated mortgage company located in Berthoud, Colorado. We are not a mortgage broker or banker, which may make you wonder, what kind of mortgage company are we? Simply put, we loan money exclusively to Colorado real estate investors who need cash to fund their real estate investments. The best part is, Real estate investors across Colorado come to Abbey Mortgage & Investments as their single source of funds. Why would they use a private lender versus a large bank or mortgage broker? Our investors best explain that. As an example, one of our larger real estate investors recently said this about us. “Abbey Mortgage is not a typical mortgage lender. Sure they loan me money for my ventures, but they have become a major consultant for me, helping me steer clear of investing pitfall. I have closed dozens of loans from them because doing business with them is so easy. I have used other lenders over the years, but for short term investment loans, I am looking for more of a partner and not just someone looking to foreclose on me. These guys have certainly been that partner”. This representation of our business is not atypical; new investors come to us and end up using us repeatedly because they see us as a partner. New investors are especially welcome to get into real estate investing with us. Real estate investing is not a get rich scheme; it requires hard work, dedication, and sound decision making. Those decisions are a lot easier when you have a pro in your corner, and you will never receive specialized consulting and flexibility, not to mention speed from a large bank or brokers.
What Types of Borrowers Do Our Loans Help?
Now that you know what we do, let’s help you figure out how we can help you by discussing the kinds of loans we offer and what we will not issue a mortgage. First things first, let’s be clear on what we are not. We are not a mortgage broker or bank, and we will not loan money for owner-occupied properties. Sorry homeowners, if you are looking to buy a house or refinance your mortgage, you found the wrong company. We are also not a “Hard Money” debt consolidation company.
Now that is out of the way, here is where we shine. We loan money, usually on a short-term basis, to real estate investors who are looking for real estate backed financing. Essentially, we help real estate investors buy or refinance commercial or residential investment properties. Here are some examples of the different property types we loan on and the various loans we offer as well.
- Buy, build or refinance a rental property
- Purchase, construct or refinance a commercial property
- Finance or refinance a fix-and-flip including fix-and-hold
- Property rehab or restoration
- Multi-family Investment Property purchase
- Multi-property finance and refinance
- Spec home and development construction
Investors Keep Coming Back to Abbey Mortgage
Dealing with us is different because you are dealing with a direct lender. When you call Abbey Mortgage and Investments, there is no one else behind the curtain, and there is no one else to call for approval. The capital we loan to real estate investors comes from our private funds. A bank is not involved and does not secure the loans we make. Therefore, we make our own loan decisions, and we are motivated to loan money. We are fast, friendly, experienced, and most importantly, professional.
Where Do We Get The Money We Loan?
To support our business, we run multiple investment funds where people who are interested in investing in mortgage-backed funds can put their money into the game. We take this money and finance Colorado investors by issuing real estate investment loans. If you have been looking for an exciting investment opportunity with excellent returns, give us a call. We would love to tell you more about our private mortgage funds and how we can get you in the game.
