Overview: This project was the new construction of two townhomes to be completed in one phase. iFC financed 85% loan to cost of this deal with 100% of hard and soft costs, and 40% of acquisition (the reason the day one leverage is low is because of the renovation ratio: new construction projects have very high renovation ratios, which is the value of the purchase price versus the total construction budget).
In this case, the purchase price was $750K and the construction budget was $1,959,950.
Key Benefit: This loan was attractive to our borrower because a bank would only lend him 70-75% of total project cost compared to our 85%.
