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, DSCR can refinance you into a 30-year rental loan. When you have the deal but not the cash, or you inherited the property, a joint venture or probate loan covers the rest.

Hard Money

Fix & flip, bridge and new construction
$50K – $2M6 – 18 moInterest-only

Short-term DC, Maryland and Virginia loans underwritten on the asset and your exit, not your tax returns. This is where our 24-hour approval applies.

  • Fix & flip: generally up to 80–85% of purchase and 100% of rehab, up to 70% of ARV
  • Bridge: up to 80% of purchase, 60–65% on a cash-out with a clear exit
  • New construction: up to 85% of cost and 75% of ARV, funded on draws

DSCR Rentals

Your long-term exit from the bridge
$50K – $3M30-yr optionsUp to 80% LTV

When the flip becomes a hold, a DSCR loan qualifies on the property's rent against its payment, not your personal income.

  • Purchase, rate-and-term and cash-out refinance
  • No W-2s, tax returns or debt-to-income test
  • Portfolio loans for several rentals

Joint Venture & Probate

A capital partner, or financing for heirs
100% funded JVInside the BeltwayInherited property

Bring an off-market deal and we fund the purchase and renovation and split the profit at sale. Inherited a house? Our probate loans help heirs settle the estate without a discount sale.

  • JV: an equity partnership, not a loan, with no monthly payments
  • Probate: cash out equity, pay tax liens and the mortgage, fund repairs
  • Heirs who'd rather not borrow can partner with us instead

2DAY 1

Approval in hand

We review the property and the plan and send written terms with rate, points, term and leverage, typically within 24 hours.

3DAY 2

Fix-and-flip purchase

A brother and sister inherited a property that still carried a reverse mortgage. Our $385,000 loan paid off the reverse mortgage and gave the heirs funds for repairs. They then refinanced into a DSCR loan.

Why Borrowers Choose Us

Six reasons, each with something measurable behind it

24 hrs

Approval speed as a policy

Files are reviewed the day they arrive. You typically get an answer in writing within 24 hours, including a straight no when the deal doesn't work.

2007

Through every market cycle

Lending in the DMV since 2007*, through booms, corrections and rate spikes, so we can tell you quickly whether your numbers hold up.

DMV

Block-by-block local knowledge

We lend only in DC, Maryland and Virginia. We know how values, permits and timelines change from Petworth to Prince George's to Fairfax.

$0

No appraisal bill, no appraisal wait

We value the property in-house or with a commercial BPO, so you skip the three-to-four-week appraisal bottleneck and the invoice that comes with it.

No min

No minimum FICO

We underwrite the property, the margin and the exit. A bruised credit report doesn't automatically end a strong deal.

3 exits

One lender for every exit

Hard money to buy and fix, DSCR to hold, or a joint venture when you'd rather partner. The takeout is planned before the bridge funds.

DC Metro Lending Conditions

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.

Timing matters too. A bank purchase loan often takes several weeks to close, and on a competitive DC-area deal, waiting on a lender can cost you the contract. We start with the property instead: hard money handles the purchase or the deadline, then our DSCR program takes it out for the long term. That is why we publish our leverage and timelines up front instead of making you call to find out if your deal works.

Questions Before You Call

Frequently asked questions

What borrowers ask us most, answered without a sales detour. Program-specific questions live on each program page.

How fast can you fund a hard money loan in DC, MD or VA?
We issue written approvals on business-purpose loans within 24 hours, and clean files can close in as little as three business days, subject to underwriting. 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 and bridge loans, including commercial bridge, generally run from 10.49% to 12.99%, with origination points quoted per deal. These rates do not apply to DSCR rental loans, which are priced separately. Fix & flip and bridge terms run from 6 to 12 months, and new construction from 12 to 18 months, with interest-only payments. Your actual pricing depends on leverage, property type, exit strategy and experience. All pricing is subject to underwriting. Programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change and to borrower qualification.
How much can I borrow?
We lend from $50,000 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 purchase plus rehab is 65% of ARV or less (loan over $500,000, experienced borrower). Fix & flip loans generally go up to 80–85% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab. Bridge loans go up to 80% of the purchase price (no repairs) and 60–65% on a cash-out with a clear exit. New construction goes up to 85% of cost and 75% of after-repair value. DSCR rental loans go up to $3 million: 80% on a purchase, 75% rate-and-term and 70% cash-out. All amounts and leverage are subject to underwriting.
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 avoids the typical three-to-four-week appraisal wait and the cost of a traditional appraisal. The valuation method is set during underwriting.
Where do you lend?
Washington DC; Prince George's, Montgomery, Charles, Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties in Maryland; and the City of Alexandria, Arlington County, the City of Fairfax, Fairfax County, the City of Falls Church, Fauquier County, Frederick County, the City of Fredericksburg, Loudoun County, the City of Manassas, the City of Manassas Park, Prince William County and Stafford County in Virginia. We do not lend in Baltimore City or Richmond. Other areas are considered case-by-case. Joint ventures are limited to properties inside the Capital Beltway. We lend on non-owner-occupied investment property only.

About RevitaLending

A DC, Maryland and Virginia lender, and nowhere else

RevitaLending is an asset-based private lender for real estate investors in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. We’re a direct lender: every loan is funded in-house with our own private capital, with no banks or institutional money involved. We have been lending on DMV investment property since 2007*. Lending only here lets us underwrite block by block: how values shift from Petworth to Prince George's County, how permit timelines differ across Northern Virginia, and what a realistic exit looks like on a given street. Files are reviewed in-house on the property and the plan, not on tax returns or a minimum credit score. And one lender covers every exit: a fix & flip or bridge loan to buy and renovate, a 30-year DSCR refinance to hold, or a joint venture inside the Capital Beltway.
