Frequently Asked Questions

The amount you pay for a property is up to you as a private investor, but we recommend that you pay no more than 75% of After Repair Value (ARV), minus the cost to repair the property. Example: If the ARV of the property is $100,000.00 and the Repairs will cost $15,000.00, the most we would suggest you pay is $50,000.00 to $55,000.00.

This again will vary some depending on the quality of the deal and your personal financial situation, but we will loan up to 70-75% of the After Repair Value (ARV) of the property. Take again the example above of a property worth $100,000.00 with $15,000.00 in repairs. We might loan as much as $55,000.00 towards the purchase of the house with an additional $15,000.00 held in escrow for you to repair the property.
