Columbia is a master-planned community with strong appeal between Baltimore and DC, featuring villages like Wilde Lake, River Hill, Town Center, Kings Contrivance, and Owen Brown. Property types include 1960s-1990s townhomes, single-family homes, and condos often needing systems updates, kitchen/bath refreshes, and modern finishes to attract families and commuters; competitive market with homes selling over list supports quick turns with FHA-friendly upgrades.

Illustrative Funding Example (subject to underwriting)

Numbers below reflect typical Columbia ranges; we’ll calibrate to your comps, scope, and timeline as part of our fix and flip loan process.

Scenario A — Townhome Refresh in Wilde Lake/Town Center

  • Purchase: $400,000

  • Rehab: $120,000

  • ARV: $600,000

  • Max Loan: We offer flexible leverage through two main options: up to 65% of After-Repair Value (ARV) for broad eligibility, or up to 85% of Loan-to-Cost (LTC—purchase + rehab total) for potentially higher amounts. We typically use the lesser of the two to ensure a strong deal, but can often accommodate closer to the LTC cap based on your experience, credit, and project details. Example calc: 65% ARV = $390,000; 85% LTC (on $520,000 total cost) = $442,000. Here, max would be $390,000, with room to flex higher if the borrower and deal qualify.

  • Structure: Interest-only; milestone-based draws; no prepay penalty

Scenario B — Suburban SFH in River Hill/Kings Contrivance

  • Purchase: $550,000

  • Rehab: $150,000

  • Max Loan: We offer flexible leverage through two main options: up to 65% of After-Repair Value (ARV) for broad eligibility, or up to 85% of Loan-to-Cost (LTC—purchase + rehab total) for potentially higher amounts. We typically use the lesser of the two to ensure a strong deal, but can often accommodate closer to the LTC cap based on your experience, credit, and project details. Example calc: 65% ARV = $520,000; 85% LTC (on $700,000 total cost) = $595,000. Here, max would be $520,000, with room to flex higher if the borrower and deal qualify.
