RESIDENTIAL INVESTMENT FINANCING

Capital for the property.
Structure for the strategy.

Whether the plan is to acquire, renovate, build, hold, or reposition residential real estate, EHG Mortgage helps investors compare financing paths around the property, the business plan, and the intended exit.

The financing should support the investment thesis.
PROPERTY

Understand the asset

CAPITAL

Structure the acquisition

EXIT

Plan the next move

BEGIN WITH THE BUSINESS PLAN

The loan is one part of the investment.

Investment financing should be evaluated in the context of the entire transaction. We begin with what you are acquiring, how the property is expected to perform, what work may be required, and how you intend to hold or exit.

01
Define the property strategy. 
Acquire and hold, renovate and sell, stabilize and refinance, or build from the ground up.
02
Understand the capital requirement.
Purchase, construction or renovation budget, closing costs, reserves, and contingency.
03
Plan the hold or exit. 
Expected cash flow, refinance path, sale timeline, or long-term portfolio role.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Financing for the way the property will be used.

A stabilized rental, a value-add project, and a ground-up development require different underwriting conversations and different capital structures.

01
Acquire & Hold

Finance a residential rental around the borrower, the property, or the property’s expected rental income.

02
Renovate & Reposition

Structure short-term capital for an acquisition, rehabilitation, stabilization, sale, or longer-term refinance.

03
Build & Develop

Evaluate financing for residential ground-up construction with attention to the budget, timeline, experience, and exit.

EVALUATE THE OPPORTUNITY

Underwrite the property and the plan together.

Lenders evaluate investment transactions differently. A disciplined starting file makes it easier to identify viable options and address constraints early.

01
Property and transaction
Asset type, purchase price, current condition, occupancy, title, and intended use.
02
Income and project economics
Existing or expected rents, operating expenses, rehabilitation budget, and projected value.
03
Borrower and liquidity
Experience, credit, available cash, reserves, entities, and required guarantees.
04
Timeline and exit
Closing deadline, construction or stabilization period, sale plan, or long-term refinance strategy.
INVESTMENT FINANCING

Explore the major capital paths.

The right option depends on the asset, borrower, business plan, and intended exit. We help narrow the field before the transaction is forced into a product.

RENTAL CASH FLOW
DSCR Loans

Financing that may evaluate qualification primarily through eligible property cash flow rather than personal income documentation.

SHORT-TERM CAPITAL
Bridge Financing

Flexible acquisition or transition financing for properties that may not yet fit permanent-loan requirements.

VALUE-ADD PROJECTS
Fix & Flip Rehab

Financing designed around the purchase, renovation scope, completed value, experience, and planned disposition.

NEW RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
Ground-Up Construction

Capital for eligible residential construction projects based on the site, plans, budget, timeline, team, and exit.

Program descriptions are educational. Availability, property eligibility, leverage, rates, terms, experience requirements, guarantees, and qualification vary by lender and transaction. Certain programs may be business-purpose financing and unavailable for owner-occupied property.

THE INVESTMENT LOAN PROCESS

Move from opportunity to executable financing.

Investment transactions move quickly, but the file still needs a coherent story, complete documentation, and a realistic exit.

01 — STRATEGY
Define the transaction

Identify the property, use, budget, timeline, financing need, and intended outcome.

02 — STRUCTURE
Match the capital

Compare relevant programs, leverage, costs, documentation, recourse, and exit requirements.

03 — FILE
Build the submission

Organize the borrower, entity, property, income, budget, experience, and liquidity information.

04 — VALUATION
Confirm the asset

Coordinate the appraisal, rent analysis, project review, title, insurance, and other property items.

05 — UNDERWRITING
Resolve conditions

Work through lender questions, documentation, third-party reports, and closing requirements.

06 — CLOSING
Deploy the capital

Review the final structure, execute the documents, and move into the operating or project plan.

ADVISOR PERSPECTIVE

Speed matters. So does what happens after closing.

The fastest or highest-leverage loan is not automatically the strongest structure. The capital should leave room for execution, uncertainty, and the next financing event.

CONSIDERATION 01
Leverage affects resilience.

Higher leverage may preserve cash but can increase payment pressure, financing cost, and sensitivity to changes in the project or market.

CONSIDERATION 03
The exit must remain achievable.

A sale or refinance assumption should be evaluated against timing, property condition, projected value, and permanent financing requirements.

CONSIDERATION 02
The budget needs a margin.

Renovation and construction plans should account for contingencies, carrying costs, delays, and the liquidity required to finish.

CONSIDERATION 04
Certainty can matter more than price.

Rate and fees matter, but so do lender fit, appraisal approach, documentation, closing reliability, and the ability to execute the plan.

Illustrative educational guidance only. Investment financing carries risk and depends on the borrower, property, lender, project, market, and exit assumptions.
