Investing in Charles County: what to know

Waldorf, White Plains, La Plata and Indian Head

Build permit time into your loan term.

Well and septic on rural parcels

Rural parcels may rely on well and septic, so we look at those reports alongside the budget. Bring them with the address and your plans, and we will size the loan and the draw schedule around them.

Flip, then hold

If the finished property rents better than it sells, our DSCR rental loan can pay off the short-term loan once it’s leased, qualifying on the rent rather than your personal income. Inherited homes can use our probate loan program instead.
