Baltimore, MD Hard Money Loans: What We See on the Ground
Baltimore is a rowhome city. Much of its housing was built as attached brick and formstone rowhouses, from narrow two-story homes to larger three-story rows, with detached homes in neighborhoods closer to the city line. Rehabs here often mean original plumbing and electrical, roofs, masonry, and full kitchen and bath work. Two city-specific questions come up again and again: whether the property is fee simple or subject to ground rent, and, if you plan to rent it, the city's rental license and inspection. We check both early, and we underwrite with block-by-block comps, because value in Baltimore can change from one street to the next.

Illustrative Funding Example (subject to underwriting)
Numbers below are illustrative for Baltimore; we'll calibrate to your comps, scope, and timeline as part of our fix and flip loan process.
Scenario A — Rowhome Gut Rehab
Purchase: $90,000
Rehab: $110,000
ARV: $300,000
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 = $195,000; 85% LTC (on $200,000 total cost) = $170,000. Here, max would be $170,000, with room to flex higher if the borrower and deal qualify.
Structure: Interest-only; milestone-based draws; no prepay penalty
Scenario B — Cosmetic Rowhome Refresh
Purchase: $150,000
Rehab: $40,000
ARV: $260,000
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 = $169,000; 85% LTC (on $190,000 total cost) = $161,500. Here, max would be $161,500, with room to flex higher if the borrower and deal qualify.
Structure: Interest-only; first draw at closing when applicable; no prepay penalty
