  • Condition: The original 2x 1BR duplex units set for reconfiguration and expansion.

The Scenario:

  • An astute investor foresaw potential in this property, with an ambition to not just improve the existing duplex but to also introduce two new ADU units.

  • With a foundation of 2x 1BR units, the expansion and addition would catapult the monthly rents significantly.

The Solution:

  • The investor opted for a business purpose 2nd TD cash-out, ensuring that the entirety of the loan proceeds ($433,000) would be channeled into Funds Control. This would safeguard the reconfiguration of the duplex and the construction of the new ADUs.
  • Emphasizing favorable loan terms, the investor was presented with 6 months of guaranteed interest, and a competitive 10.00% annualized return.

  • Monthly Rental Income (Post-Development): $13,600
  • CLTV: 62.00%
  • Net CLTV: 26.24%

Highlights:

This trust deed opportunity was particularly captivating due to:

  • A prime location and the foresight to convert this property into 4 high-return units.
