Good to know

Before you buy in Delaware

Local things that change a deal's numbers or its closing date. Check them before you make an offer.
  • Delaware's realty transfer tax is 2.5% for the state where the town or county charges the full 1.5% local tax, so 4% in all, or 3% for the state where it doesn't. The law splits it equally between buyer and seller.
  • On an unfurnished lease of a year or more, a security deposit can't be more than one month's rent. It has to be held in a separate escrow account at a federally insured bank with an office in Delaware.

Questions

Loans in Delaware: common questions

Do you offer hard money loans in Delaware?

Yes. United Lending LLC offers private real estate financing for investors in Delaware: short-term fix and flip and bridge loans sized on the deal, 30-year DSCR loans sized on the rent, and construction and multifamily financing quoted per deal. We're headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, and lend nationwide.

Do you lend in Delaware?

Yes. United Lending LLC offers business-purpose financing on investment property across Delaware, including Wilmington and Dover. Tell us the property's address on the form and a loan officer will confirm the details on the first call.

Which loans can I get for a Delaware property?

Fix and flip loans of up to 95% of the price and 100% of the rehab budget, and bridge loans up to 95% loan-to-cost, both on 12–18 months interest-only terms. DSCR rental loans are 30-year loans on 1–4 unit rentals, fixed or adjustable, up to 85% loan-to-value on a purchase and 80% on a cash-out refinance; those are separate limits, not one combined offer. Construction and multifamily loans are quoted per deal. All limits are subject to appraisal and underwriting, and every loan is for property you invest in, not a house you or a relative will occupy.

Is there a prepayment penalty on a Delaware loan?

There's no prepayment penalty on fix and flip or bridge loans. DSCR rental loans come with a choice of prepayment terms, from none up to five years, set out in your written terms before you commit.

Do I need to live in Delaware or have an LLC there?

No. Many of our borrowers invest outside the state they live in. You can borrow in your own name or through an LLC; if the LLC was formed in another state, your loan officer will tell you what's needed before closing.
