What We Can Do For You

Hard money first, then a long-term loan if you need it. We can also partner with you.

Hard money is our core business: short-term capital priced on the property, so you can buy, fix and close on your timeline. When the project is done, our DSCR program can refinance you into a 30-year rental loan, and when you have the deal but not the cash, our joint venture program puts up 100% of the money. One lender, every exit.

DC Metro Lending Conditions · Reviewed Monthly

Banks are still tight with investors. Asset-based capital isn't.

Banks still underwrite investment property on personal income, and that is exactly where self-employed borrowers and full-time investors get stuck. You can own several rentals, show real equity and still get turned down on a debt-to-income ratio.

We start with the property. Hard money handles the purchase or the deadline, then our DSCR program takes it out for the long term. When you have the deal but not the cash, a joint venture covers the rest. That is why we publish our leverage and timelines up front instead of making you call to find out if your deal works.

Programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change and to borrower qualification. This is not a commitment to lend.

Questions Before You Call

Frequently asked questions

What borrowers ask us most about hard money, DSCR and joint ventures, answered without a sales detour.

How fast can you actually fund a hard money loan in DC, Maryland or Virginia?
We approve business-purpose loans within 24 hours, and clean files have closed in as little as three business days. What moves the timeline is title, insurance and how quickly we can get into the property for the valuation. We tell you on day one which of those is the bottleneck, not at the closing table.
What are your rates, points and terms?
Fix & flip rates start at 9.99% and commercial bridge rates generally run from 10.99% to 13.99%, with origination points quoted per deal. Terms run from 6 to 24 months with interest-only payments. Your actual pricing depends on leverage, property type, exit strategy and experience. Programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change and to borrower qualification.
How much can I borrow?
We lend from $75,000 to $2 million. On fix & flip loans we go up to 70% of after-repair value, and up to 100% of your purchase and rehab cost when the loan is 65% of ARV or less. Bridge, cash-out and commercial loans go up to 70% loan-to-value.
Is there a minimum credit score? Do you check income?
There is no minimum FICO. These are asset-based loans, so the property and the exit carry the file, not tax returns or a debt-to-income ratio. We still review credit, and all loans are subject to credit approval, but a weak score doesn't automatically disqualify a strong deal.
Do I need a full appraisal?
No. We value the property in-house or order a commercial broker price opinion (BPO). That saves you the three-to-four-week wait and the cost of a traditional appraisal.
What do you need from me to approve a loan?
The property address, the purchase price or current value, your rehab budget if there is one, your exit plan and your closing date. That is enough for written terms. There is no application fee.
Where do you lend?
Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, with a focus on the DC Metro: the District, Montgomery and Prince George's counties, Northern Virginia and the Baltimore area. Joint ventures are limited to properties inside the Capital Beltway. We lend on non-owner-occupied investment property only.
What is the difference between your hard money and DSCR programs?
Hard money is short-term capital priced on the property, used to buy, renovate or close fast, with interest-only payments. DSCR is a long-term rental loan with 30-year options that qualifies on the property's rent against its payment. The usual path is a hard money loan to buy and fix, then a DSCR refinance to hold. We plan the takeout before the bridge funds.
How does the joint venture program work?
You bring an off-market property under contract inside the Capital Beltway. If the purchase price plus rehab is at or under 70% of the after-repair value, it is a possible candidate. We fund 100% of the purchase and renovation, provide the crews and project management, and split the net profit with you when it sells. It is a partnership, not a loan: no monthly payments, and credit, experience and liquidity are not factors.
I inherited a property. Can you help?
Yes. Our probate solutions program finances inherited properties so heirs can cash out equity, pay off tax liens and the existing mortgage, or fund repairs before selling or renting. If you'd rather not take on a loan, our joint venture program can partner with you on the renovation and share the profit at sale.
Can a DSCR loan pay off my hard money loan?
Yes, and many of our loans are structured that way from the start. Because both loans run through us, the exit is underwritten alongside the original loan instead of discovered later. Seasoning requirements vary by program, and we flag them when we issue terms.
