Hi, I'm Mary Mecham, owner of TARS Lending. With decades of experience flipping houses across Utah—from starter homes to million-dollar projects—and a growing rental portfolio in Indiana, I understand the funding challenges real estate investors face.
I help real estate investors secure the funding they need to close deals with confidence. Having been in your shoes, I understand the urgency and challenges of finding reliable funding partners.
Comprehensive funding options designed to help real estate professionals close deals with confidence. We fund residential and commercial real estate transactions of all types. If it's a sound deal, we can fund it.
A blanket loan, also known as a portfolio loan, is a single mortgage used to finance multiple real estate properties under one agreement. Investors use this to simplify loan management by having a single payment for their entire portfolio. This structure is ideal for investors who own several rental properties and want to consolidate debt or finance the purchase of multiple properties at once.
A bridge loan is a type of short-term financing designed to "bridge" a gap in funding, such as when an investor needs to purchase a new property before selling an existing one. These loans provide immediate capital to secure a new investment quickly without having to wait for other funds to become available. They are a temporary solution, typically repaid once the original property sells or long-term financing is secured.
A ground up construction loan provides the necessary funding for a real estate project that is being built from scratch. This financing covers the costs of land acquisition, building materials, and labor for a brand-new structure. The funds are typically disbursed in stages, known as draws, as the project meets specific construction milestones.
Business credit is a credit profile established for a company, separate from the personal credit of its owners. Real estate investors use business credit to obtain financing for properties and operations without putting their personal assets at risk. Building a strong business credit history can lead to higher loan amounts and more favorable terms.
Business funding is a broad term for capital obtained to support the general operations and growth of a real estate investment company, rather than financing a specific property. This can include lines of credit or term loans used for expenses like marketing, overhead, or making offers on multiple properties. It provides the working capital necessary to scale the business.
A commercial loan is used to finance income-generating properties that are used for business purposes, such as office buildings, retail centers, apartment complexes, or industrial warehouses. Unlike residential loans, qualification is often heavily based on the property's potential to generate income. These loans are essential for investors looking to purchase or refinance commercial real estate assets.
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan allows an investor to qualify for financing based on a property's rental income rather than their personal income. Lenders use the DSCR to determine if the property's cash flow is sufficient to cover the mortgage payments. This loan is ideal for investors purchasing rental properties that can financially support themselves.
Fix and flip loans are short-term loans that provide funding for both the purchase and renovation of a property that an investor intends to sell quickly for a profit. These loans are based on the property's after-repair value (ARV), which is an estimate of its worth once the renovations are complete. The quick turnaround time of these loans is designed to match the fast pace of a fix and flip project.
This type of financing is for properties that have multiple residential units (multi-family) or a combination of commercial and residential spaces (mixed-use). Investors use these loans to purchase or refinance properties like apartment buildings, duplexes, or buildings with retail on the ground floor and apartments above. The loan terms often depend on the number of units and the property's income potential.
Transactional funding is an extremely short-term loan, sometimes lasting only a day or two, used by real estate wholesalers to complete back-to-back closings. It allows a wholesaler to purchase a property from a seller and immediately sell it to an end-buyer without using their own capital. This funding facilitates the quick transfer of property and is repaid instantly from the proceeds of the final sale.
