Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Manchester, NH

Manchester, northern New England's largest city, grew around the Amoskeag mills on the Merrimack River. Much of its rental housing is older multi-family stock, including 19th-century tenements built for mill workers, on both sides of the river. Investors buy these buildings to renovate and rent, and many tenements have also been converted to condos. The city's rental Certificate of Compliance, with its inspection, is part of every rental plan.

Good to know

Before you buy in Manchester

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Manchester and Hillsborough County. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • Get a Certificate of Compliance before you rent. Manchester requires one for residential rentals, with an exception for some owner-occupied buildings of four or fewer units. It follows a city inspection and lasts three years.
  • Buying a rental that already has a certificate? Apply for the city's transfer permit for the change of ownership, and budget the application, inspection and transfer fees on the city's fee schedule.
  • Converting a mill or other pre-1978 building into apartments? New Hampshire requires a lead-safe certificate before the new units are occupied.
