What this means for how you borrow here
- Ask for the term you actually need, not the term offered. A 12-month default is a product decision, not an assessment of your deal.
- Get the extension terms in writing — the fee, the length, and whether granting one is your right or the lender's discretion. See extensions and default.
- Price the deal at this hold, not your renovation timeline. Run 8.5 months through the true-cost calculator and look at what it does to the break-even resale price.
- This is a slow market by national standards — 14 days above the median — so the term question matters more here than most places.
