Mantua Dr, Fairfax, VA 22031

The borrower is requesting a hard money loan to purchase and renovate a property he just bid on at auction.  The purchase price is $615,000 and the property needs about $50k in rehab work (which actually has been started.  He has a full crew currently in the house).   We lowered the loan amount slightly and wont be doing a construction hold-back since a lot of the work has been started and he is paying his in house crew directly.  The borrower has decent credit, cash and experience. He will be bringing $130K to closing.
