Salt Funding

Direct Lender for Residential Property Investors in Colorado

Salt Funding’s primary loan program is for the purchase and rehab of single family homes that will be flipped or rented. Loans typically do not exceed 80% of as-is-value or 90% of purchase price. We will also lend up to 100% of construction costs provided the total loan amount does not exceed 70% of the After Repair Value.

We offer cash out refinance loans (1st or 2nd position) on existing real property provided the funds are used for business purpose only.

Please note: we do NOT offer loans for ground-up construction or owner-occupied homes.

Borrower must submit and have approved a "scope of work" prior to loan closing. Construction funds are paid in arrears. In other words, borrower is expected to fund initial phase of rehab, provide proof of payment and appropriate lien waivers for same prior to receipt of initial rehab funding draw. Funds will only be released for work completed (in a workman like manner) which is included in approved scope of work (unless there is a lender approved change order). The construction component of a loan is likely the most complicated aspect of our (or any lender's) loan program - particularly for a borrower who is not experienced in this process. This process is designed in an effort to keep both the lender and the borrower as financially safe as possible. We feel it is important for a borrower to fully understand this aspect of the loan, and we take a great deal of effort to walk them through this process in detail. This "up-front" work helps borrowers manage the every aspect of the rehab.
