How big can the loan be? Loan sizes by program

Minimums, maximums and the pre-screen for loans above $1,000,000. Here are the published loan sizes for each RED program.

A bar chart of loan sizes from $0 to $3.5 million. Rental Loan runs $75,000 to $2 million, Rental Portfolio $50,000 to $2 million, and Fix & Flip, Stabilized Bridge and Ground-Up each $50,000 to $1 million in red, with pink extensions above $1 million up to $3.5 million for Fix & Flip and $3 million for the other two. Legend: pink means above $1,000,000, underwriter pre-screen.

Before you build a deal around a loan amount, check the range for the program. Here is where each one sits.

Loan sizes

  • Rental Loan (DSCR): $75,000 to $2,000,000 for a single rental.
  • Rental Portfolio: $50,000 minimum per property, $72,000 minimum property value, and $2,000,000 maximum per loan.
  • Fix & Flip: $50,000 to $1,000,000. Above $1,000,000 goes to an underwriter pre-screen, up to $3,500,000.
  • Stabilized Bridge: $50,000 to $1,000,000. Above $1,000,000 goes to an underwriter pre-screen, up to $3,000,000.
  • Ground-Up Construction: $50,000 to $1,000,000. Above $1,000,000 goes to an underwriter pre-screen, up to $3,000,000.

What the pre-screen means

On the short-term programs, a loan above $1,000,000 starts with an underwriter pre-screen, not a quote. If you are working at that size, send the scenario early so we can tell you if it fits.

Small balances

On the Rental Loan, leverage is capped at 75% where the unpaid balance is under $100,000. On Fix & Flip, interest accrues as funds are disbursed on loans of $100,000 or more. Below that, interest is charged on the total loan amount.

Fees

The Fix & Flip, Stabilized Bridge and Ground-Up pages publish a maximum of 5 total points on the transaction. Pricing is quoted per deal, so we do not publish a rate.

What to do

Check your loan amount against the program before you go under contract. If a deal sits near a limit, ask us first.
