Facilitating Successful Projects  

Fred and his team are passionate and strategic in how they have grown Alpha Tech Lending over the last five years. They understand that projects are complicated and the lending process can be confusing. To help make every project successful, Fred and his team provide timely feedback, the ideal loan fit for each project, transparent terms, and professional support.

Alpha Tech Lending offers several loan programs, including Fix & Flip, New Construction, DSCR 1-4, DSCR 5+, Bridge Loans, and Tru No Doc Loans. Fix & Flip loans help investors purchase and transform properties and maximize their returns. New Construction Loans provide real estate investors, builders, and developers with competitive financing for acquiring, developing, or constructing ground-up projects.

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) Loan helps people buy or invest in properties like buildings or houses, with individual qualified based on how much profit the rental property should make. Alpha Tech Lending specializes in DSCR Loans for 5+ residential, mixed-use, and commercial properties. The company also offers financing for commercial spaces such as offices, retail, warehouses, self-storage, and automotive.

Its Bridge Loan program provides short-term funding to clients who do not yet qualify for traditional financing, giving the borrower time to obtain permanent financing.

The Tru No Doc Loan program does not depend on the borrower’s credit score, financial qualification, or the property’s value. The value of the asset being offered as collateral qualifies for the loan.

Alpha Tech Lending also provides mortgage brokers and consultants who work with real estate investors an opportunity to grow their businesses. Mortgage brokers and consultants can access Fix & Flip (Bridge) and Rental financing through the Alpha Tech Lending Registered Broker Partner Program. The firm offers a lucrative compensation structure and fully protects its partners throughout the process.
