Property and project review
These property categories reflect Washington locations in our deal history. The right structure depends on the current property, sponsor and business plan. A reviewed scenario does not by itself represent a funded transaction.
Reconcile the rent roll to collections and trailing operating statements. Show current income separately from the stabilized plan, including vacancy, concessions, repairs and the cost of leasing vacant units.
Separate purchase funds from the renovation holdback. Match the scope to permits, contractor bids and inspected draws, then test sale and rental exits against the full carrying cost.
For a Washington apartment purchase or conversion, compare the proposed unit count and use with the Department of Buildings' occupancy records. Its Certificate of Occupancy guidance distinguishes use approval from rental business licensing and identifies circumstances where single-family properties are exempt. Have the project team confirm the path for the actual property before underwriting income from an additional unit or a changed use.
DC Department of Buildings: Certificate of Occupancy ↗DC's Office of Zoning Administration offers zoning certifications addressing the district and a property's current or proposed use. For a renovation with a rental exit, identify any unresolved zoning question alongside the plans and budget. A proposed layout, an existing lease and an approved use are different pieces of evidence; assemble them before setting the financing and completion schedule.
