Hard Money Loan Fort Pierce

What is hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a loan given to a borrower from a lender based mainly on the worth of the underlying collateralized asset. Traditional banks and lenders focus primarily on the credit and income of the borrower where asset based lenders aka hard money lenders focus primarily on the value of the asset being used as collateral for the loan. Where traditional loans are generally for 15–20 year durations, hard money loans are used as a short term alternative (1–3 years normally) 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 traditional loan provided by a bank with lower rates?

There are many reasons why a borrower would choose to use private financing or a hard money loan over a more economical conventional financing: (1) Quick Funding– traditional banks take the absolute minimum of 45 days to fund just 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 Requires Work– because of the traditional bank‘s very conservative underwriting guidelines, most will not lend on properties in need of repair. By way of example, banks very seldom fund a loan secured by a property in need of repairs before it can be used; therefore the borrower uses a hard money lender to purchase and rehabilitate 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. Nevertheless, a private lender will give you short term funding to the borrower to buy the property and rent it up to stabilization. Once the property is stabilized for a time period that is certain, the hard money loan will be refinanced by a commercial lender with normal funding. (3) Not based entirely on credit or income– Traditional banks rely heavily on a borrower’s credit score, past income, and ability to repay the debt. Hence traditional banks for conventional financing consistently turn down even quality borrowers such as for instance physicians, lawyers, and solicitors who have high incomes but also have a lot of debt. Hence, there’s a huge requirement for private lenders who look at the value of the underlying asset when compared 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 generally lend out 65% 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 taking a look at a combination of factors such as: (1) loan to value ratio, (2) borrower’s credit score & income, (3) the property state 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 with asset based lending?

Most hard money lenders in Fort Pierce charge financing origination fee of 3% to 5% of the amount of the loan. The lender will then charge various fees for file preparation by a lawyer, financing processing fee, evaluation fee from a completely independent appraiser, and an application fee. Capital Funding Financial offers straight forward conditions without all of the rubbish fees that are hidden and charges an extremely low origination fee of only 2%*

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 (apart from the application fee) are paid from your actual loan earnings.

Can there be a prepayment fee with hard money loans?

Usually Fort Pierce hard money loans have a 3–6 month minimum interest condition. For example, with a 6 prepayment fee, if the borrower were to repay the loan in 3 months, there would be 3 extra months of interest due. This condition is put in place so the lender receives at least a modest return for the time, hassle and allocation of its funds to your borrower. If the borrower repays the loan after half a year, then no pre-payment penalty will be issued.

How fast 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 appraisal, title commitment). The typical price takes about a couple of weeks to fund as an independent appraisal and title report need to be run on the property.

When applying is an assessment needed,?

Yes, hard money loans usually require broker price opinion, an appraisal, or comparative sales analysis. On the subject property, we order an appraisal that is independent at Capital Funding Financial.

When completing flip or rehabilitation job & a fix, what’ll the hard money lender require?

Well besides the apparent 35–40% equity cushion, the lender will want to see the extent of work described with a cost analysis timeline and worksheet. The lender will use this as helpful information in releasing resources for rehabilitation purposes. Nothing ever goes as planned when performing a rehab; consequently the lender will need to see the borrowers expertise in managing or performing property repairs. The lender require an inspection and will release funds in draws for such repairs that are listed. The lender will also require income statement and a credit report in the borrower showing the borrower has the ability to repay the loan. Yet, hard money lenders focus largely on the asset value of the collateral and never the credit score.
