44–46 Marion Street is a legal two-unit duplex in Trenton. The borrower controls the asset at a $140,000 basis — the appraiser's as-is opinion — against a $305,000 as-repaired value supported by the sales-comparison approach.

The renovation is organized as a controlled, inspection-gated release. The sponsor brings eleven prior Trenton-area exits. Collateral and execution sit in one file.

Execution Signal

Within range for acquisition-plus-rehab review.

Control Boundary

Prepared by RCP Capital Market Intelligence and routed to the capital counterparty for review. All figures — valuation, structure, leverage, budget, and sponsor data — remain subject to counterparty review and verification, including appraisal review, scope and budget approval, draw administration, title, insurance, permits, borrower documentation, legal documentation, and all conditions precedent. Indicative terms reflect an initial structure only. RCP arranges and routes capital files and does not itself originate or commit financing. The renovation figure appears as $115,000 (signed scope), $116,000 (draw schedule), and $110,000 (holdback); the counterparty confirms the final approved budget and holdback. Confidential — authorized recipient only.
