Yes. District of Columbia is one of the states Silt lends in, and the ground-up program covers single-family and 2–4 unit residential construction — infill, multi-lot, spec, custom and luxury.
District of Columbia is listed as a judicial-foreclosure jurisdiction: the lender files in court and a judgment precedes the sale. Court calendars, not the deed of trust, set the pace, so distressed-asset timelines in District of Columbia run longer than in power-of-sale states.
No. The program terms are the same in every state Silt lends in: loan amounts $200K – $10M; residential scope 1–4 units · nationwide; leverage 90% LTC · 70% ARV; structure Interest-only, 12–24 mo; draws Funded in 48h, app-based; projects Infill & multi-lot. The final term sheet reflects the property and the file.
Every Silt loan closes in an LLC or corporation, never a personal name. Bring the articles or certificate of formation, operating agreement and EIN letter.
