Loan application
Submit the form online and we will get back to you quickly. Our normal response time is within minutes or hours, not days.
Project assessment
After getting more details about the property, your renovation history, and your available equity, we assess the deal. We will then send you a term sheet with our proposed loan amount, rate and terms.
Term sheet and deposit
After you sign and return the term sheet with a small commitment fee, we will order a home appraisal for the property.
Supporting documents
Depending on your project and profile, we will ask you to submit some supporting documents. These may include copies of the sales contract, your corporate documents (if buying as an LLC or organization), and a construction budget and schedule.We also require builder’s risk insurance to protect you and us against any accidents at the job site.
Draw schedule
We will work with you to create a draw schedule, which determines when you will receive the draws or loan installments during the construction process.
Loan closing and disbursement
We will help you choose a settlement company and get all necessary documents to closing. At closing, you will receive your first loan payment which you will use to buy or refinance your property and get started on your renovations.
Construction
At the designated draw schedule milestones, we will inspect the property and you will receive your loan draw payments so you can continue and complete construction.
Sell or refinance
Sell or refinance your property within the loan term and pay back the loan with your proceeds. Then repeat the process on your next deal!
