Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Matawan, NJ

Matawan is a compact Monmouth County borough built around a historic Main Street, two lakes created by damming Matawan Creek and Gravelly Brook, and the Aberdeen-Matawan station on NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast Line, which runs to New York Penn Station. Investors renovate older houses or rent them to commuters, and because the borough has no municipal rent control on record, state rules drive most of the compliance work.
