Newark is New Jersey's largest city and its industrial engine, with the port, the airport and the rail lines all converging inside Essex County. Capital moves through the Ironbound for its density, through University Heights around Rutgers and NJIT for tenant demand, and through Downtown and Forest Hill for pre-war buildings worth restoring.
Newark sits in Essex County, New Jersey, and Loan Goat lends on investment property across the whole of it. The same programs run in Jersey City, Elizabeth and Clifton, so an investor working a corridor rather than a single ZIP code keeps one lender, one quote format and one set of terms across every file.
Being headquartered in San Diego is an advantage on a Newark deal, not a limitation. The capital is in house, the underwriting is done by the people who fund the loan, and the answer comes back in hours. A 5.0 Google rating across 150+ reviews is the record on delivering that.
© THE COST NEWARK · NJ
WHAT DO NEWARK HARD MONEY LOANS COST
Cost on a Newark file is a function of the deal, not the market. Bridge opens at 9.00%. Residential runs to 75% LTV and commercial to 70%, on one or two year terms, and a clean file closes in 3 to 14 days.
The written quote comes before the appraisal, and it holds. For a Newark deal on a clock, that is the difference between a real number and an indication. Prepay is free on the bridge programs, which matters when the plan is to be out inside a year.
| PROGRAM | RATES | LEVERAGE UP TO | TERMS | LOAN AMOUNTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRIDGE LOAN | 9.00% to 13.00% | LTV 75% | 1 or 2 years | $150,000 to $25,000,000 |
| FIX & FLIP | 9.99% to 12.00% | LTV 85% of purchase, LTC 100% of rehab | 6 to 18 months | $250,000 to $10,000,000 |
| RENTAL DSCR | 6.50% to 9.99% Non-QM | LTV 80% | 5, 7, 30 and 40 year fixed | Sized to the property |
Starting rates for qualified borrowers, from the published terms cards. Points and fees are quoted on the Letter of Intent. Rates are subject to change without notice and are not a commitment to lend.
The ranges above are what is actually available. Send the Newark address and what you intend to do with it and the quote comes back with the exact rate, leverage and term for that deal.

Certainty is the product. A Newark borrower gets written terms, in-house capital and one person who can say yes. Nothing is sold to a warehouse line mid-process and nothing is re-priced at the closing table, which is why the review record reads 5.0 across 150+ reviews.
Three-family frame houses on narrow lots, pre-war brick walk-ups of six to twenty units, masonry mixed-use with storefronts at grade, and warehouse and flex buildings near the port and rail corridors. None of that is unusual here; it is the normal book.
Multifamily value-add drives the market: buy a tired three or six unit, renovate on a bridge, then refinance. Transit-adjacent rehabs, mixed-use repositioning and industrial plays all have live buyers. Bridge covers the acquisition, fix and flip covers the work and the rental program takes it out.
THE PROCESS
- Complete your application
- Submit required documentation
- Sign your Letter of Intent

HOW WE LEND IN NEWARK
Most lenders compete on one line of that table. This one is built to hold every line at once, which is why a Newark borrower gets leverage and speed in the same quote rather than trading one for the other. If the numbers do not work, you are told early and directly.

NEWARK HARD MONEY LOANS, ANSWERED
Straight answers to what borrowers ask before they call. Questions we answer elsewhere link to the page that owns them.
-
Yes. Loan Goat funds investment property in Newark and across Essex County on every program listed on this site: bridge, fix and flip, construction, rental property, commercial, owner occupied, bank financing, second and third mortgages and blanket loans. The desk is in San Diego, the capital is in house, and Newark files are underwritten on the property rather than on where the borrower banks.
Request a quote -
Five to seven days is standard and low-doc bridge files have funded in as little as three. The timeline on a Newark deal is usually set by title and escrow rather than by underwriting, because the credit decision is made in house by one person. Open title early and the wire follows the written terms.
How it works -
Non-owner-occupied residential from single-family up to four units, apartment buildings, mixed-use, retail, office, industrial and flex, self-storage, hospitality, manufactured housing and land across Essex County. Owner-occupied has its own program. If the Newark asset produces or will produce value, there is usually a structure for it.
Property types -
Bridge and rehab money covers it, from a three-family frame house to a twenty-unit brick walk-up anywhere in Newark or Essex County. Loan Goat lends on the building and the business plan instead of your personal file, closes in five to seven days, and applies no prepayment penalty when the refinance or sale arrives.
-
Single-family rentals, condos, townhomes, two to four unit buildings, apartment buildings, mixed-use, retail, office, industrial and flex, self-storage, hospitality, manufactured housing and land. Business-purpose and non-owner-occupied is the core of the book, with owner-occupied handled under its own program.
Property types -
The address, the purchase price or current value, what you owe, what you plan to do with the property and how you intend to pay the loan back. That is enough for a written quote. Full-doc income packages are not part of the low-doc programs, which is why a quote arrives in hours rather than weeks.
Request a quote -
No prepayment penalty on the bridge programs. Pay the loan off the day the flip sells or the refinance funds and you owe interest for the days you used the money. That matters when the whole plan is to be in and out inside a year.
All loan programs -
Five to seven days is the standard, and low-doc bridge deals have closed in as little as three. Speed comes from the structure, not from cutting corners: in-house capital, one decision maker and minimal documentation. Title and escrow set the floor, so the sooner those are opened, the sooner the wire moves.
