Some of the stuff I’ve learned involved staging the house, such as proper lighting, opening blinds, making the most of various amenities the house has which in my case was having the gas fireplace lit, the backyard waterfall running, positioning furniture to make the rooms appear more spacious, occasional spritz of air fresheners, and in the winter time a nice apple pie candle lit in the kitchen.

.- LTARV or loan-to-value: This is simply the total loan amount divided by the after-repair value of the property (what the property is worth following the completed renovation), or total loan amount/after-repair value.Interest rate:Generally 8-13% within the HML space.Beyond just the interest rate, it will be more helpful to compare the total cost of capital between lenders.The total cost of capital includes other costs like origination points and fees, so that you can get a true apples-to-apples comparison amongst lenders.Security:Most HMLs put a 1st lien on the subject property and stipulate that they must be the "1st and only" lien.
