Maryland is an active investor market with real structural friction. Court-supervised foreclosure, stacked transfer and recordation taxes, and county rent regulation directly shape how DSCR loans here are underwritten and structured.
Brick City Capital provides DSCR loans in Maryland for brokers and investor clients where the structure of the deal is the real obstacle even when borrower credit is strong. As a DSCR lender built for complex files, we underwrite to how the asset actually performs in Maryland's market.

Across Baltimore, the Washington suburbs, Annapolis, Frederick, and Columbia, investor demand is strong. But Maryland's court-supervised foreclosure process, transfer taxes, and rent regulation introduce structural realities that materially affect underwriting:
A court-supervised process with mediation rights that lengthens timelines and shapes risk modeling.
State, county, and recordation taxes that stack on every transfer, raising acquisition basis.
County rent stabilization in the Washington suburbs, so covered units underwrite on capped rents.
Appraisal variability across Baltimore rowhome blocks and county submarkets with steep tax variance.
High investor concentration in rental corridors and individual buildings beyond conventional limits.
Renovated and repositioned assets carrying no stabilized rental operating history behind them.
In this environment, qualification is rarely about income alone. It’s about how the deal is structured around tax exposure, concentration limits, and timeline risk.
Each structural reality above has a specific underwriting answer on a Maryland file.

When a hard file closes the way you told your client it would, your credibility comes out intact.
