What’s hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a loan given to your borrower from a lender based chiefly on the value of the underlying asset that is collateralized. Traditional banks and lenders focus primarily on the credit and income of the borrower where asset based lenders aka hard money lenders focus mainly on the worth of the asset being used as security for the loan. Where traditional loans are usually for 15–20 year durations, hard money loans are used as a temporary option (1–3 years usually) as a bridge to acquire a rehab, or stabilize a commercial, retail, office, industrial, multi–family, or single family residential home.

Why exactly would someone choose a hard money loan (asset–based loan) over a conventional loan provided by a bank with lower rates?

There are many reasons why a borrower would choose to use private funding or a hard money loan over a cheaper conventional funding: (1) Quick Funding– conventional banks take a minimum of 45 days to finance one family residential loan, any where between 60–90 days to finance a commercial loan, and over 120 days to finance a development loan. Whereas, a hard money loan is generally financed within 7–14 days. (2) Property Needs Work– due to the conventional bank‘s very conservative underwriting guidelines, most will not lend on properties in need of repair. As an example, banks very infrequently finance a loan secured by a property in need of repairs before it can be used; hence the borrower will use a hard money lender rehabilitate and to purchase the property, and then settlement the hard money loan with conventional lending. Another example would be a commercial property that has no tenants… a bank won’t loan until the property is leased up. However, short-term financing will be provided by a private lender to the borrower to buy the property and lease it up to stabilization. Once the property is stabilized for a particular time frame, a commercial lender will refinance the hard money loan with traditional financing. (3) Not based exclusively on credit or income– Traditional banks rely greatly on a borrower’s credit score, past income, and ability to repay the debt. Thus traditional banks for normal funding consistently turn down even quality borrowers such as for instance doctors, lawyers, and solicitors who’ve high incomes but also have lots of debt. Thus, there’s an enormous requirement for private lenders who look the value of the underlying asset in comparison with the loan amount versus the borrower’s credit history. We typically look for a 50% – 65% LTV in our loans. What that means is we usually lend 65% out of the appraised value of the property to the borrower.

What are the interest rates involved in hard money loans?

The rate by the lender is dependent upon looking at a combination of factors such as: (1) loan to value ratio, (2) borrower’s credit score & income, (3) the property condition and location, (4) borrower’s “skin in the game” (sum of cash equity in the property). At Capital Funding Financial we offer the lowest rates around starting at 8.9%*

What are the fees involved in asset based lending?

Most hard money lenders in Stuart charge a loan origination fee of 3% to 5% of the loan amount. The lender will subsequently charge various fees for file preparation by a lawyer, a loan processing fee, appraisal fee from an independent appraiser, and an application fee. Capital Funding Financial charges an incredibly low origination fee of only 2%* and offers straight forward conditions without all the concealed trash fees

Can the loan fees be paid from the loan proceeds?

Yes there’s a big enough equity cushion in the real estate. Most of the time each of the fees (besides the application fee) are paid from the actual loan proceeds.

Is there a pre payment fee with hard money loans?

By way of example, with a 6 prepayment fee, if the borrower were to repay the loan in 3 months, there would be 3 additional months of interest due. This condition is put in place so that the lender receives a little return for the time, hassle and allocation of its funds to a borrower. If the loan is repaid by the borrower after half a year, subsequently no pre payment fee will be issued.

How quickly can a typical hard money loan close?

At Capital Funding Financial, we are a direct lender and have the ability to close loans within a days when given a complete loan package (credit report, income documentation, independent evaluation, title commitment). The typical deal takes about one or two weeks to fund as an independent appraisal and title report need to be run on the property.

When employing is an appraisal needed,?

Yes, hard money loans generally need an assessment, broker price opinion, or comparative sales analysis. We order an appraisal that is independent on the subject property.

When finishing flip or rehab project & a fix, what’ll the hard money lender require?

Besides the obvious 35–40% equity cushion, the lender will want to see the extent of work described with a cost analysis worksheet and timeline. The lender uses this as helpful information in releasing capital for rehab goals. Nothing ever goes as intended when performing a rehab; therefore the lender will need to see the borrowers experience in performing or managing real estate repairs. The lender require an inspection to be made after each draw is complete and will release funds in draws for such repairs that are listed. The lender may also require income statement and a credit report from the borrower to show the borrower has the ability to repay the loan. Yet, hard money lenders focus largely on the asset value of the security and never the credit score.
