Hard Money Loan Florida Worthington Springs

What’s hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a loan given to your borrower from a lender based mainly on the value of the underlying asset that is collateralized. Where asset based lenders aka hard money lenders focus mainly on the value of the asset being used as collateral for the loan traditional banks and lenders focus mainly on the credit and income of the borrower. Where conventional loans are normally for 15–20 year durations, hard money loans are used as a short term 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 offered 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 financing: (1) Quick Funding– traditional banks take a minimum of 45 days to fund a single 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 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 rarely finance a loan guaranteed by a property in need of repairs before it can be used; therefore the borrower will use a hard money lender payoff the hard money loan with conventional funding, and then rehabilitate and to purchase the property. 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 provides short-term funding to the borrower to purchase the property and lease it up. Once the property is stabilized for a particular time period, the hard money loan will be refinanced by a commercial lender with normal financing. (3) Not based exclusively on credit or income– Traditional banks rely heavily on a borrower’s credit score, previous income, and ability to repay the debt. Consequently even quality borrowers like doctors, lawyers, and attorneys who have high incomes but also have lots of debt are turned down by traditional banks for conventional lending. Therefore, there is 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 ordinarily 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 usually range from 10% all the way up to 15%. The rate by the lender is dependent on 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” (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 involved in asset based lending?

Most hard money lenders in Worthington Springs charge a loan origination fee of 3% to 5% of the amount of the loan. The lender will subsequently charge various fees for file preparation by an attorney, evaluation fee from an unaffiliated appraiser, financing processing fee, and an application fee. Capital Funding Financial offers straight forward conditions without each of the junk fees that are hidden and charges a very low origination fee of merely 2%*

Can the loan fees be paid from your loan proceeds?

Yes there is a large enough equity cushion in the real estate. Most of the time each of the fees (other than the application fee) are paid from your actual loan earnings.

Will there be a pre payment penalty with hard money loans?

Normally Worthington Springs hard money loans have a 3–6 month minimum interest prerequisite. For example, with a 6 pre payment penalty, 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 your lender receives at least a modest return for the time, hassle and allocation of its funds to some borrower. If the borrower repays the loan after half a year, then no prepayment 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 assessment, title commitment). The typical bargain takes about a couple of weeks to fund as an independent appraisal and title report need to be run on the property.

When using is an evaluation required,?

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

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

Besides the obvious 35–40% equity cushion, the lender will want to see the range of work described with a cost analysis timeline and worksheet. The lender will use this as helpful information in releasing funds for rehabilitation goals. Nothing ever goes as planned when performing a rehabilitation; hence the lender will want to see the borrowers expertise in managing or performing property repairs. The lender will release funds in draws for such repairs that are listed and require an inspection to be made after each draw is complete. The lender will even require a credit report and income statement in the borrower showing the borrower has the ability to repay the loan. Nonetheless, hard money lenders focus chiefly on the asset value of the security rather than the credit score.
