J Dean Holdings has spent six years building new construction in Portland, funded by private lenders. Every loan is secured by a deed of trust recorded against a specific property. Six years in, zero defaults.
You see the actual property before anything happens. The address, the build plan, the timeline. You can drive by it, walk it, and look at the neighborhood yourself.
Your loan is recorded against that specific property. It is a lien on real estate, not a promise. Generally one lender to one property, so you always know exactly where your money sits.
You are repaid on the terms agreed up front, when the home sells or refinances. Six years and 75+ builds with zero defaults on our lending.
Most people raising private money are moving it into something you will never see. This is the opposite of that.
Every dollar is tied to a house you can stand in front of. No fund structure, no pooled account, no wondering which deal your money ended up in.
The people who talk to you are the same people running the build. J Dean Holdings is a licensed Oregon general contractor, CCB #242971, with no claims, no complaints and no penalties on record with the state. You can verify that yourself at search.ccb.state.or.us.
75+ completed homes across Portland, photographed and listed on this site. Not a pitch deck. Finished houses you can go look at.
Every private lender who has funded a J Dean Holdings build has been paid on the terms agreed. That record is the entire reason lenders come back deal after deal.
Antoine will walk you through a project currently under construction: the address, the plan, and how the loan would be secured. No obligation to move on it.
A deed of trust recorded against the specific property being built. Your loan is tied to a real piece of real estate, not a pooled fund or a handshake.
Yes. Loans are generally structured one lender to one property. You get the address, the build plan, and the timeline before you commit, and you are welcome to drive by and walk the site.
Six years building in Portland, 75+ homes completed, 35+ projects active right now, and zero defaults to date on private lending.
Terms are set per project, because every build has its own timeline, budget, and exit. Antoine will walk you through the specifics on a live deal rather than quote a number that does not match your situation.
Call or email. Antoine will walk you through a current project and what the structure looks like on that specific deal. No obligation to move on it.
“I have known Antoine and his family for many years and felt a lot of confidence in him even before he showed me his development sites.
I signed on for one year at an 11% rate of return, payable at the end of the year. At the end of the year, I received my interest payment and elected to leave the principal with Antoine for a one-year renewal.”
“A dozen or so in round numbers. AD proved himself capable with the first one, so as long as the underlying projects looked good to me, we just kept doing more.
It is real estate, so the market changes, and dates move, so you have to be flexible or it might be stressful.”
“Funds were always paid back with interest as dictated in the note.
We have done 35 completed loans and have 10 currently outstanding over 6 years.
I would highly recommend that they lend on a project because of my confidence in getting my money back, timely payments, and confidence in you doing what you say.”
Tell Antoine what you are looking for and he will walk you through a project that is live right now. Call him directly, or send an email and he will get back to you the same day.
