Why Investors Work With DPCG
One project does not necessarily fit every lender or capital source. Direct Private Capital Group reviews the property, cost basis, construction or renovation budget, borrower profile, liquidity, experience and exit strategy before determining how an eligible scenario should be presented. Rather than repeatedly explaining the same transaction from the beginning, borrowers can provide DPCG with a complete scenario so the financing request can be organized and evaluated against available program requirements.
One Clear Scenario
Start with the key transaction facts instead of repeating the same story across multiple disconnected inquirie
Project- Specific Structuring
The review can account for purchase or land basis, budget, value, equity, liquidity, experience, timing and exit, not just one headline metric.
Better Preparation
A well-packaged file can reduce preventable follow-up around title, budget, contractor information, permits, reserves & exit strategy.

Tennessee Fix & Flip Financing
Fix-and-flip financing is short-term business-purpose financing used to acquire or refinance an investment property and complete a defined renovation plan. Underwriting generally separates the acquisition or existing basis from the renovation budget and evaluates the as-is condition, scope of work, projected completed value, borrower contribution, project feasibility, and exit.
Tennessee Ground-Up Construction Financing
Ground-Up construction financing is used when a borrower is building a new investment property or substantially replacing an existing improvement. Review commonly includes the land basis, plans, permits, construction budget, contractor, schedule, contingency, draw process, completion value, borrower liquidity, and exit strategy.

Tennessee-Specific Requirements
Contractor Licensing Requirement
The Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors states that a contractor’s license is required before bidding, offering to engage, or negotiating a price when the total project cost is $25,000 or more. Review the Tennessee contractor licensing requirements.
Building Permits and Local Jurisdiction Review
Tennessee’s State Fire Marshal’s Office issues residential building permits in certain areas, while local governments may have their own permitting and code-enforcement authority. Review Tennessee residential building permits.
Entity and Ownership Documentation
For entity borrowers, formation and good-standing information should be consistent with title, the loan application, guarantor information, and the operating agreement. Review Tennessee business entity records.
For regulatory information, see Tennessee mortgage and lending regulation.
Tennessee-specific practical point: a strong financing file should make contractor status, permit status, ownership, title, budget, and construction readiness easy to verify.

Tennessee Fix & Flip and Ground-Up Construction Loan FAQs
No. A scenario may involve a new purchase, a property or lot already owned, or a refinance of existing debt. The structure and required documentation differ depending on whether the borrower is acquiring the property or already owns it.
Potential financing structures may include a renovation or construction component released through draws. The eligible amount, draw process, inspections, borrower contribution, and funded cost categories depend on the financing source and current program guidelines.
The Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors states that a contractor’s license is required before contracting when the total project cost is $25,000 or more. Additional classifications or local requirements can apply, so the contractor and project should be reviewed for the specific scope.
Not always. Permit requirements depend on the project stage and jurisdiction, but underwriting should clearly identify the authority having jurisdiction, permit status, and any approvals still needed.
There is no single amount that applies to every project. The financing source may review cost basis, requested proceeds, as-is and as-complete value, budget, borrower contribution, liquidity, experience, property type, and exit strategy.
No Appraisal Required.
640+, No hard credit pull or credit check. Those statements require reconciliation and current program verification.
Experience requirements vary. Some financing sources consider first-time investors when the overall file is strong, while others require completed projects or construction experience.
Common exits are sale after completion or refinance into longer-term investment-property financing. The exit should be realistic, documented, and supported by the projected completed property profile.
