HARD MONEY BANKERS COMMENTS:

The pros are:

The lender will have good collateral on an investment property in a great area of DC. The borrowers have strong credit, good assets and experience. The borrowers will be contributing about $20K+ into this refinance at closing plus continuing construction work out of pocket.  The borrowers contributed $300K to the purchase of this property one year ago.

The cons are:

The borrower’s exit strategy of selling could take longer than expected in this market.
