Borrower Profile

Experienced flipper, 640 FICO, recent credit event from a closed business line.

Property

Single-family rehab in a Class B suburban market, 38% ARV basis at acquisition.

Challenge

Conventional fix-and-flip programs declined on credit. Borrower needed certainty of close before losing the contract.

Financing Structure

  • LTC reduced from 90% to 80% to offset credit risk
  • Desktop appraisal in lieu of full interior
  • Interest-only, 12-month term
  • Borrower liquidity preserved for rehab carry

Creative Solution

  • Reframed file from credit-driven to deal-driven
  • Negotiated reduced leverage in exchange for credit waiver
  • Used desktop valuation to compress timeline by 14 days

Outcome

Borrower completed the rehab on schedule and refinanced into long-term DSCR financing within 7 months, recapturing the original down payment.

Borrower Profile

Property

Financing Structure

  • Reduced leverage from 93% to 88%
  • AVM-driven value, supported by BPO
  • Interest-only, 12 months
  • Funded via wire on day 3

Creative Solution

  • Traded ~5% in leverage for total certainty of close
  • Ordered BPO within 24 hours; AVM ran same-day
  • Cleared title and entity docs in parallel with valuation

None

Term

Exit

Refi + hold

Borrower Profile

Investor with recent BK discharge and active collections.

Property

Dated single-family in a rapidly appreciating submarket.

Challenge

Every credit-based program declined immediately on tri-merge pull.

Financing Structure

  • True no-credit-check, asset-based underwriting
  • Collateral and exit drove approval
  • Experience-based review of prior projects

Creative Solution

  • Removed credit from the equation entirely
  • Built a file around the asset, the comps, and the borrower's track record
  • Used reserves to demonstrate capacity instead of credit history

Outcome

Borrower completed the project, refinanced into a DSCR loan in their LLC, and added $250,000 of equity to the portfolio.

Bridge · DSCR Take-Out

Bridged a 6-unit acquisition into 30-year DSCR.

#04

Units

6

Bridge LTC

80%

DSCR LTV

75%

Stabilization

9 months

Borrower Profile

First-time small-multifamily sponsor with strong single-family track record.

Property

Under-rented 6-unit, ~40% below market rents.

Challenge

Asset wouldn't DSCR at acquisition. Bank wouldn't touch it until stabilized — but the deal had to close now.

Financing Structure

  • Bridge sized to as-is value, 80% LTC
  • Interest reserve to carry the stabilization period
  • Pre-underwritten DSCR take-out at month 9

Creative Solution

  • Single capital relationship across bridge → permanent
  • Stabilization runway built into bridge structure
  • No second appraisal at refinance

Outcome

Borrower stabilized in 9 months at market rents, refinanced into a 30-year DSCR loan, and pulled cash out for the next acquisition.

DSCR · Cross Collateral

Cross-collateralized a portfolio to fund a new acquisition.

#05

Assets

4

New deal

$1.4M

Cash to close

$0

Combined LTV

72%

Borrower Profile

Portfolio investor with $4M in low-leverage assets, low post-tax liquidity.

Property

Off-market 12-unit, time-sensitive seller.

Challenge

Borrower had equity, not cash. Down payment was the blocker.

Financing Structure

  • Blanket lien across 4 free-and-clear rentals
  • Combined LTV held below 75% of portfolio value
  • Pre-agreed release prices for future sales

Creative Solution

  • Pulled equity from the portfolio to fund the entire down payment
  • Single closing, single facility, single coupon
  • Preserved liquidity for capex on the new asset

Outcome

Closed the acquisition with zero cash out of pocket, executed light value-add, and refinanced out of the cross collateral 14 months later.

Land · Cash-Out → Construction

Cash-out on free-and-clear land funded the build.

#06

Land value

60% LTV

Exit

Sale at C/O

Borrower Profile

Builder banking shovel-ready lots, free-and-clear basis.

Property

Entitled infill parcel, building 4 detached SFR for retail sale.

Challenge

Equity trapped in land. Banks declined cash-out on raw collateral.

Financing Structure

  • Cash-out refi on the land to recapture liquidity
  • Rolled into a ground-up construction facility at break ground
  • Interest reserves on both tranches

Creative Solution

  • Treated the land as the equity it actually was
  • Sequenced cash-out → construction in a single closing strategy
  • Pre-modeled the take-out at certificate of occupancy

Outcome

Builder funded vertical construction without injecting new equity, sold three of four units within 60 days of C/O.
