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.
Our Core Business
Asset-based lending, priced on the property
Short-term DC, Maryland and Virginia hard money underwritten on the asset and your exit, not your tax returns. This is where our 24-hour approval applies.
When the flip becomes a hold, DSCR pays off the hard money loan. Qualification runs on the property's rent against its payment, not your personal income, so a strong rental stands on its own.
You bring an off-market deal inside the Capital Beltway. We bring 100% of the capital, the rehab crews and the project management, and we split the net profit with you at sale. No monthly payments, and credit, experience and liquidity are not factors.
Amounts, terms and leverage shown are typical program maximums and are subject to underwriting, property type, borrower experience and exit strategy. Programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change and to borrower qualification. Joint venture partnerships are equity arrangements, not loans. This is not a commitment to lend.

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.
What borrowers ask us most about hard money, DSCR and joint ventures, answered without a sales detour.
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.
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; 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.
What is the difference between your hard money and DSCR programs?
Hard money is short-term capital priced on the property, generally up to $2M for bridge and fix & flip, used to buy, renovate or close fast, with interest-only payments. DSCR is a long-term rental loan, generally up to $3M, 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 loan 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.
Still have a question? Call (202) 595-5472 and talk to a real person, not a call center.

RevitaLending is a direct, asset-based private lender for real estate investors in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, and as Balance Sheet Lenders (we use our own capital), we fund every loan ourselves. Together with affiliated funds under the same ownership, we have been lending on DMV investment property since 2007, which is where our 15+ years in hard money comes from.

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.
