Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Massachusetts

Massachusetts investors bring us deals from Boston's triple-deckers to the older cities of Worcester, Springfield and Lowell. Most are two- and three-family houses bought to renovate and rent by the unit, and we finance the purchase, the rehab and the refinance once the units are leased.

Good to know

Before you buy in Massachusetts

Local things that change a deal's numbers or its closing date. Check them before you make an offer.
  • Massachusetts' Lead Law covers homes built before 1978 where a child under six lives. The owner must delead the home or bring it under interim control, and a buyer has 90 days from taking title to do it. Landlords can't turn away families with young children because of lead paint, so budget for lead work in older rentals.
  • Every sale needs a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm Certificate of Compliance from the local fire department. The certificate is good for 60 days, so book the inspection once the closing date is set.

Questions

Loans in Massachusetts: common questions

Do you offer hard money loans in Massachusetts?

Yes. United Lending LLC offers private real estate financing for investors in Massachusetts: 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 Massachusetts?

Yes. United Lending LLC offers business-purpose financing on investment property across Massachusetts, including Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Lowell. 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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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.
