Hi there, looking to hear from someone who has dealt with Calvert Home Mortgage for the financing of their flips. How smooth was the process? Were they easy to work with? Would you recommend them?

Thanks

I am familiar with Calvert's short term financing.
They way they analyze deals can make them seem tough; If margins are tight, they will not fund the deals. If they approve the financing, there's a good chance that there is money to be made on the deal.
Expect 10-12% interest plus 2% setup fees up front. Only real advantage of Calvert over other private lenders is that they have a flip product that only needs $10k down (theoretically leaving more cash in hand to fund your renovations).
There are better lenders/better terms/better rates around, but they typically want 20% down (instead of the $10k.)
PM me if you'd like to chat, or a referral to a mortgage broker who uses comparable lenders
