Deal Overview
The ChallengeExperienced local investor had a time-sensitive contract on a distressed single-family home inside the Houston loop. Their bank lender flagged recent tax returns and pulled back late in the process. With only days left on the option period, the investor needed a direct private lender who could underwrite quickly and close with certainty.
The StructureAaron structured an ARV-based fix and flip loan secured by the property, with funds allocated toward both acquisition and a portion of the rehab budget. Rather than relying solely on tax returns, the file was underwritten around experience, exit strategy, and realistic ARV supported by local comps. Flexible draws were set up to match the rehab schedule.
The ResultThe file went from initial review to clear-to-close in 7 business days. The borrower closed on time, preserved their earnest money, and fully funded the rehab. The property was renovated and listed within 90 days, with projected profit in line with the original fix and flip pro forma.
Key TakeawayThis deal required both speed and creative structuring — and both were delivered. By focusing on ARV, experience, and exit instead of rigid bank criteria, Aaron funded a profitable fix and flip that a traditional lender walked away from.
Deal Overview
The ChallengeA growing investor portfolio in Katy had several stabilized rentals, but most of the equity was tied up from earlier acquisition and rehab. The investor wanted to free up capital to buy additional properties but didn’t fit the full-doc requirements of their local bank. They needed a DSCR rental loan based primarily on property cash flow, not personal income documentation.
The StructureAaron underwrote the deal using DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) as the primary metric, focusing on in-place rents and realistic operating expenses. The loan amount was sized to maintain a strong DSCR while allowing a meaningful cash-out to the investor. The structure included a 30-year amortization to keep monthly payments predictable and support long-term hold strategy.
The ResultThe DSCR rental refinance closed in 10 business days, consolidating existing debt and providing cash-out proceeds to fund the investor’s next acquisition. Monthly cash flow remained positive, and portfolio leverage stayed within a conservative band based on stabilized values and rents.
Key TakeawayThis is a clear example of a fix and flip funding example evolving into a long-term cash-flow play. By using a DSCR rental structure instead of traditional income underwriting, Aaron helped the investor unlock trapped equity and keep scaling the portfolio.
Deal Overview
The ChallengeBuilder owned an infill lot and had a full set of plans and permits for a new single-family home. Their bank lender tightened construction lending guidelines and reduced leverage at the last minute, threatening the project’s feasibility. The builder needed a private construction loan that recognized land equity and realistic ARV on completion.
The StructureAaron structured a new construction loan using a combination of land value and projected ARV as the basis for total loan exposure. The land contributed meaningful equity, allowing higher leverage on the construction budget while staying within conservative overall LTV. Draws were aligned with major milestones: foundation, framing, mechanicals, and final completion, giving the builder predictable access to funds.
The ResultThe construction loan closed in 14 calendar days, allowing the builder to start immediately and lock in subcontractor pricing. As the project progressed, inspections triggered timely draws, and the builder stayed ahead of schedule. The expected exit is either a retail sale at completion or a DSCR rental refinance based on market conditions.
Key TakeawayThis new construction case study shows how flexible private lending can unlock projects that fall outside bank guidelines. By valuing land equity and realistic ARV, Aaron delivered the speed and certainty the builder needed to move forward.
