What the client was up against: 

As usual, this loan was referred to us by one of our referring brokers. Their client had purchased this distressed, uninhabitable 7-unit property at a steep discount. He invested a substantial amount of his own money into the rehab but needed additional funds to get the project over the finish line. The rehab had tied up much of his available cash, and to make matters worse, another property he had already completed was under contract but hadn’t closed yet, leaving him short of the funds he needed to finish this one.


Solution:

While many lenders won’t touch an incomplete rehab, this deal made sense. The borrower was an experienced contractor with a successful track record, the loan was at a low as-is LTV, and once completed, the property is expected to generate approximately $8,000 per month in rental income, providing a clear and realistic exit strategy. Again, the deal made sense and as a result we were able to put the file together quickly and close


The story doesn’t end there. Once the rehab is complete and the property is stabilized, the referring broker will have the opportunity to place the permanent DSCR loan as well, creating a win for the borrower, the broker, and our team.

______________________________________


This wasn’t the biggest loan, but I handle every loan the same way. Whether it’s big or small, every successful closing is a win, and I hope it keeps you sending loans my way.


As is typically the case, this was a stated loan, required minimal paperwork and once we had everything from the borrower the loan closed quick.


If you have a client who fits any of the situations below, give me a call me at 510-463-4876. If the loan makes sense, the LTV works and the borrower has the ability to repay, we can fund it. Our loans require minimal documentation and typically close within 10–14 days
