Hard Money Loan Florida Zolfo Springs

What’s hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a loan given to a borrower from a lender based mainly on the value of the underlying collateralized asset. Where asset based lenders aka hard money lenders focus primarily on the worth of the asset used as security for the loan traditional banks and lenders focus primarily 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 typically) 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 more affordable traditional financing: (1) Quick Funding– traditional banks take the absolute minimum of 45 days to fund 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 typically funded within 7–14 days. (2) Property Requires Work– because of the conventional bank‘s quite conservative underwriting guidelines, most will not lend on properties needing repair. For example, banks quite infrequently finance a loan guaranteed by a property in need of repairs before it can be used; hence the borrower will use a hard money lender payoff the hard money loan with traditional financing, 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. Yet, an exclusive lender provides temporary funding to the borrower to buy the property and rent it up to stabilization. The hard money loan will be refinanced by a commercial lender with normal funding once the property is stabilized for a certain period of time. (3) Not based solely on credit or income– Traditional banks rely greatly on a borrower’s credit score, previous income, and ability to repay the debt. Consequently traditional banks for normal lending consistently turn down quality borrowers like doctors, lawyers, and attorneys who’ve high incomes but also have a lot of debt. Hence, there’s an enormous requirement for private lenders who look more at the value of the underlying asset in comparison to the loan amount versus the borrower’s credit history. We normally 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?

Hard money loan rates normally 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 state and place, (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?

Hard money lenders in Zolfo Springs charge a loan origination fee of 3% to 5% of the amount of the loan. Various fees for file preparation will then charge by a lawyer, assessment fee from an unaffiliated appraiser, financing processing fee, and an application fee. Capital Funding Financial charges an incredibly low origination fee of just 2%* and offers straight forward terms without all the rubbish fees that are hidden

Can the loan fees be paid from the loan proceeds?

Yes, so long as there is a huge enough equity cushion in the real estate. Most of the time all of the fees (apart from the application fee) are paid from your actual loan earnings.

Will there be a pre-payment fee with hard money loans?

Ordinarily Zolfo Springs hard money loans have a 3–6 month minimum interest condition. By way of example, with a 6 pre-payment 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 in order for the lender receives at least a modest yield for the time, hassle and apportionment of its funds to your borrower. If the borrower repays the loan 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 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 price 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 required,?

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

When finishing flip or rehabilitation job & a repair, 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 uses this as helpful information in releasing capital for rehab purposes. Nothing ever goes as intended when performing a rehabilitation; consequently the lender will want to find 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 for such listed repairs. The lender will even require a credit report and income statement in the borrower showing that the borrower has the ability to repay the loan. Yet, hard money lenders focus primarily on the asset value of the security and not the credit score.
