After Repair Value. We lend money based on the After Repair Value or Future value on properties needs rehabbing.

Future value is the appraised value of the property if it were completed today. The appraisal assumes that the construction or rehab is completed within a specific time period and is compared to like properties in the immediate area.

Loan-to-value is calculated when you take the loan amount and divide it by the future value of the property. For example, if you have a project that has a future value of $500,000 and you need a loan for $300,000 to complete the project, your loan to value would be 60%.

$300,000 / $500,000 = .60 or 60%

It depends on the after repair value of your project when completed. We lend using the future value of the property if it were repaired today.

We typically lend up to 60% of the after repair value.

The application process takes 24-48 hours after we have received your:

1) Completed and signed application.
2) Construction Breakdown.
3) Purchase Contract, etc.

Then we will ask you to prepare a line item budget for the repairs to the property. Once the budget has been submitted we will order a future value appraisal of the property. The appraisal takes about 5 business days.

After the appraisal has returned we can prepare documents for you to sign. This process takes anywhere from 5 to 10 days depending on when we receive all the items described above.

It depends on your ability to qualify for the financing. We want to make sure that you can afford the monthly payments.

Yes.  It is necessary to have a fund control or voucher control system in place.  Fund control protects the interests of the contractors, owners, investors and lenders.

Yes.  Rehab or ground-up construction requires a fund control. The fee is based upon rehab or construction cost.

Rehab funds are usually paid in one to three draws after verification of repairs, and mailed to you or wired directly to your account.

If you're buying the property at a discounted price and no repairs are needed, we will offer you a loan base the "as is value". Our appraiser will be able to provide the current as is value and we will lend on that as opposed to the purchase price.
