What Maryland means for a bridge lender
Maryland foreclosures generally go through the courts under a power of sale or assent to decree in the deed of trust, a hybrid process. Maryland charges recordation tax on recorded deeds of trust, and some counties regulate residential rent increases.
Whether a lender can use a faster power-of-sale remedy depends on the security instrument and the loan documents. Ask each lender which process its documents use, because it affects how the lender views its downside.
Retail specifics
Check local zoning for allowed uses, signage and parking requirements before planning a re-tenanting strategy, since some uses such as restaurants or medical may need additional approvals.
How retail bridge loans are sized
Many asset-based bridge lenders lend around 60–70% of as-is value on retail, and less for centers with a dark anchor, heavy near-term rollover or high vacancy. When the plan involves re-tenanting, some lenders size to loan-to-cost and fund tenant improvements and leasing commissions from a holdback. Single-tenant buildings are often sized off the tenant's credit and remaining lease term as much as the real estate.

Do commercial bridge lenders need a license in Maryland?

Check with the Maryland financial regulator; the Conference of State Bank Supervisors lists every state agency.
