Good to know

Before you buy in West Virginia

Local things that change a deal's numbers or its closing date. Check them before you make an offer.
  • West Virginia's constitution caps property tax by class: $1 per $100 of value on a home the owner lives in, $1.50 on other property outside cities and $2 inside them. A rental inside city limits is in the top class, so use its real tax bill, not an owner-occupant's.
  • Every West Virginia sale pays a transfer excise tax of $1.10 per $500 of value plus a county tax of at least 55 cents per $500, which a county can raise to $1.65, and a $20 fee. The seller pays unless the buyer takes the deed unpaid, so agree on it in the contract and get the county's rate from the clerk.

Questions

Loans in West Virginia: common questions

Do you offer hard money loans in West Virginia?

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

Yes. United Lending LLC offers business-purpose financing on investment property across West Virginia, including Charleston, Huntington and Morgantown. 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 West Virginia 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 West Virginia 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 West Virginia 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.
