If looking for extra funding for interest payments, closing costs, and month-to-month costs while the project is underway, we can provide a second lien loan up to 75% CLTV as long as the first lien loan was closed with us. This allows borrowers to come less money out of their pocket to focus funds on what really drives their business - more deals, more offers, and more projects.
