Hard Money Loan Florida Gulf Breeze

What is hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a loan given to a borrower from a lender based primarily on the value of the collateralized asset that is underlying. Where asset based lenders aka hard money lenders focus primarily on the worth of the asset being used as collateral for the loan traditional banks and lenders focus mostly on the credit and income of the borrower. Where conventional loans are usually for 15–20 year terms, hard money loans are used as a temporary option (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 a person choose a hard money loan (asset–based loan) over a traditional loan offered 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 affordable traditional financing: (1) Quick Funding– traditional banks take a minimum of 45 days to finance just one family residential loan, any where between 60–90 days to fund a commercial loan, and over 120 days to finance a development loan. Whereas, a hard money loan is commonly funded within 7–14 days. (2) Property Demands Work– because of the conventional bank‘s quite conservative underwriting guidelines, most will not lend on properties in need of repair. Nevertheless, an exclusive lender will be happy to lend on a property that either lacks cash flow or necessitates physical advancements so long as the borrower has enough “skin in the game” (equity). Before it can be used as an example, a loan secured by a property in need of repairs is quite seldom funded by banks; therefore the borrower will use a hard money lender rehabilitate and to purchase the property, and then settlement the hard money loan with traditional financing. 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 lending will be provided by a private lender to the borrower to purchase the property and lease it up. Once the property is stabilized for a certain time frame, a commercial lender will refinance the hard money loan with conventional financing. (3) Not based solely on credit or income– Traditional banks rely greatly on a borrower’s credit score, past income, and ability to repay the debt. So quality borrowers including doctors, lawyers, and attorneys who’ve high incomes but also have a lot of debt are consistently turned down by traditional banks for normal lending. Hence, there is a huge need for private lenders who look more at the value of the underlying asset when compared with the amount of the loan versus the borrower’s credit history. We typically look for a 50% – 65% LTV in our loans. What that means is we generally lend 65% out of the appraised value of the property to the borrower.

What are the interest rates involved in hard money loans?

Hard money loan rates generally range from 10% all the way up to 15%. The rate by the lender is dependent upon looking at a combination of variables for example: (1) loan to value ratio, (2) borrower’s credit score & income, (3) the property condition and place, (4) borrower’s “skin in the game” (amount of cash equity in the property). At Capital Funding Financial we offer the lowest rates around starting at 8.9%*

What are the fees associated with asset based lending?

Hard money lenders in Gulf Breeze charge a loan origination fee of 3% to 5% of the loan amount. Various fees for file preparation will subsequently charge by an attorney, financing processing fee, appraisal fee from an unbiased appraiser, and an application fee. Capital Funding Financial charges a very low origination fee of only 2%* and offers straight forward terms without all of the hidden crap fees

Can the loan fees be paid from the loan proceeds?

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

Can there be a pre-payment penalty with hard money loans?

Normally Gulf Breeze hard money loans have a 3–6 month minimum interest prerequisite. For example, with a 6 pre payment penalty, if the borrower should happen to repay the loan in 3 months, there would be 3 additional months of interest due. This condition is put in place in order for the lender receives a modest yield for the time, hassle and allocation of its funds to some borrower. If the loan is repaid by the borrower after half a year, then no pre payment fee will be issued.

How quickly can a typical hard money loan close?

At Capital Funding Financial, we’re a direct lender and have the ability to close loans within a days when given a complete loan package (credit report, income documentation, independent assessment, title commitment). The typical bargain takes about 1 to 2 weeks to fund as an independent appraisal and title report need to be run on the property.

When applying is an evaluation needed,?

Yes, hard money loans usually demand comparative sales analysis, broker price opinion, or an appraisal. On the subject property, an independent appraisal is ordered by us at Capital Funding Financial.

When completing flip or rehabilitation project & a repair, what will the hard money lender require?

Well besides the obvious 35–40% equity cushion, the lender will want to see the scope of work described with a cost analysis worksheet and timeline. The lender uses this as a guide in releasing funds for rehab goals. Nothing ever goes as intended when performing a rehabilitation; thus the lender will need to see the borrowers experience in performing or managing property repairs. The lender require an inspection to be made after each draw is complete and will release funds in draws. The lender may also require a credit report and income statement from the borrower showing the borrower has the ability to repay the loan. Yet, hard money lenders focus primarily on the asset value of the security rather than the credit score.
