New fund taps into generational investment opportunity in California property

DANVILLE, Calif., Sept. 9, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A new mortgage income fund has been launched with a target of $50 million in capital commitments to address California’s unique housing and lending gap. Central Mortgage Income Fund (Central) has been founded by Bay Area property veterans Dan and Ben Dianda to invest in short-term, real estate-backed loans across California.

With a significant undersupply in housing (80,000 houses built annually, 180,000 needed), ageing properties (average home is nearly 50 years old), and the growth of private lending (CA lending market valued at $16.6B, growing 25-31% annually), Central aims to fuel property flippers and developers with easy access to the capital needed to meet demand.

“The convergence of enduring housing demand, a severe shortage of traditional lending, and high yield potential from asset-secured loans makes California-focused private credit an unprecedented opportunity right now,” Central CEO Ben Dianda said.

“The housing challenge in California is well documented, and we need to provide flippers, developers and entrepreneurs with the fuel they need to build more, and build fast.

“The creation of Central will make raising and deploying capital for this purpose easier and more efficient.”

Mr. Dianda said opening up access to funding is crucial in a California property ecosystem where everyone has the potential to win.

“In an ideal world, fund investors support developers and make healthy returns while doing so, developers create value and profit by building and upgrading housing, while more quality housing becomes available for Californian residents,” he said.

“Private lending has a key role to play to maintain the flow of capital that keeps the ecosystem moving, flowing and growing.”

Mr. Dianda has plans to deploy funds across the state, with initial strategies to target the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

The fund is supported by the Dianda-backed origination and servicing firm Equidy, which has so far paid out $110 million in funding with no loss to investors.

Central is aiming to raise $50 million from family offices, high net worth and institutional investors, who can expect an 8 percent annual yield paid monthly, outperforming Public REITs (5-year average 7%) and US Treasuries.

Downside is also protected through conservative underwriting and diversification with pooled loan exposure.

WATERTOWN, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Avatar Design & Construction, a leader in the construction industry, has announced the next phase of expansion in its Multi-Family & Hotel Design-Build Construction Division. Guiding this monumental growth is Chief Operations Manager Nazar Vincent, a visionary with a track record of executing innovative construction strategies.

The announcement comes at a time when demand for multifaceted, quality-oriented construction services is surging both regionally and across the nation. The strategic expansion underscores Avatar's commitment to addressing this need with its trailblazing design-build solutions.

"It's an honor to lead Avatar Construction to new heights," says Vincent. "Our focus on cutting-edge, sustainable design is redefining what clients expect from their construction partners."

Avatar announced the "Grand" series of luxury apartment complexes earlier this year that have already broken ground at two Manchester NH locations, with more properties slated over the next few years.

A Testament to Innovative and Sustainable Design-Build Construction

Avatar Construction is no stranger to the spotlight, with a bevy of high-profile projects already under its belt and several more both in progress and poised to start. The firm's commitment to sustainability and modern construction methods is evident in every project they undertake. Their reputation for precision and reliability in multi-family and hotel environments has made them a preferred partner for complex and large-scale projects across the region.

Investment Opportunities

In partnership with Bridgewater Development of Watertown MA, several opportunities are available for qualified investors seeking lucrative CRE investments with industry leading returns.

"Our purchasing experts are able to secure high-quality products and building materials at a fraction of the cost through extensive research and offshore purchasing power," says Vincent. "This allows us to design projects with a much higher profit margin compared to other developers while still using superior designs, high-end materials, and the latest construction methods. In turn, we are able to share these profits with an elite group of investors who play a key role in the development of an exciting portfolio of projects across New England."

With a minimum investment of $50,000, investors can join an industry leader that is helping shape the future of the region.

Real Estate Investment Firm Turns Tidy Profit in One Year

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 6, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Carolwood Equities, a privately-held, fully-integrated real estate investment company, just closed a deal for an impressive return and the firm's founders, Andrew Shanfeld and Adam Rubin, partners, say it's just the beginning.

One year ago, they, along with a group of investors purchased a 56-unit apartment complex in Charlotte, N.C. The firm just sold the property, yielding an impressive 81 percent return.

"Andrew and I met in high school, but then went to different colleges," Rubin says. "After college, we re-connected in New York City and put the plans in motion for Carolwood Equities. We'd talked about it for years and our first deal was a great success."

These two 23-year old principals are no strangers to the business world. Rubin is the son of Nathan Rubin, a Los Angeles cardiologist and principal of parking conglomerate the L & R Group of companies which operates under the name Joe's Auto Parks in downtown Los Angeles and Wally Park, a national airport parking operator. Shanfeld's father is also a prominent real estate investor in West Los Angeles.

When the partners and their investors purchased the Charlotte apartment complex, it was in disrepair. With the help of Rra Shannon, the onsite property manager, the interiors were completely renovated; they put in new landscaping, installed a security system and re-branded the property which included changing the name from Bent-Oaks to Dewberry Townhomes.

"Rra oversaw the whole transition and was instrumental in seeing this project through to its successful conclusion," Rubin says.

By researching these markets, stressing selectivity rather than volume and thriving in complex situations, Carolwood Equities will continue to deliver unusually high returns at minimal risk to its limited partners. The company's proven ability to both accurately underwrite transactions and implement management strategies allows the firm to yield strong risk adjusted returns to its investors.

"We make good investments," Rubin says. "We're young, we provide quick turnaround times and impressive IRRs."

About Carolwood Equities:

Carolwood Equities was formed in 2012. All start-up money was raised from outside investors. The firm's objective is to acquire a diverse portfolio of investment-grade assets ripe for repositioning through tailored renovation, attractive financing and focused management. Los Angeles-based, the firm also operates offices in New York City and Charlotte, N.C.
