We fund projects from $50,000 all the way up to $2,500,000.

Yes! Because we are a private lender we are not bound by the restrictions of a traditional lending process. We make our own decisions in-house based on a number of factors, including the potential value of the project when completed.
LTV is Loan to Value. It is a ratio of the value of the property in relation to the loan amount. ARV is After Repair Value and it is one of the ways that Baker Collins is preferable to traditional lending. Because we loan based on the value of the improved or newly constructed property, you are able to tap into the full equity value of the completed project.
No. We fund the renovation and rehab process as well, allowing you to consolidate financing.
