Deal Summary
Minnow Loan, a local Missouri direct private lender, funded a $299,900 loan for a small multifamily property in St. Louis, MO. We funded 100% of the $166,900 renovation budget and 70% of the $190,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 30% using equity in another property. The after-repair value was estimated at $504,000, so our loan-to-ARV was 60%. This deal was for a repeat Borrower for whom we had previously funded two large construction projects, both executed with excellence. His properties are completed with high-quality finishes and sell quickly at top dollar. For this transaction, we allowed the Borrower to use equity from one of his nearly completed projects as collateral for the new loan. The existing rehab was about 95% complete, and there was sufficient equity to cover the down payment on this new project. The first project is scheduled to be paid off within a week. The Borrower has been outstanding to work with, and we look forward to a long-term relationship. The Borrower had good credit. They plan to refinance into a DSCR loan as an exit strategy. The interest rate was 12.5%, and we charged 3% origination points. The loan term was set at 9 months. This hard money loan was funded in July 2025.
