Investor educationImportant questions to ask before selecting a loan.
The lowest advertised rate does not always represent the best
overall structure for an investment. Investors should consider the
full cost, timeline, flexibility, documentation, and requirements
associated with a financing option.
01What is the total project cost?
Include acquisition, repairs, closing expenses, carrying costs,
reserves, and a reasonable contingency.
02How long will the capital be needed?
A short-term renovation project may require a different
structure than a property held for several years.
03What is the planned exit?
Determine whether the property will be sold, refinanced, rented,
or retained as part of a long-term portfolio.
04What could delay the project?
Consider permits, construction timelines, contractor
availability, leasing periods, and changing market conditions.
