How do Hard Money Lenders Differ from Each Other?

Know your lending options so that you are educated on what to expect when you’re ready to obtain that first commercial loan. There are several things to consider when evaluating hard money lenders.

The following are the varying differences you will encounter when obtaining a commercial loan:

· What is the loan to value ratio of your project? If the ratio is high, the more cash that you will receive for your project.

· What is the minimum and maximum loan amount of the lender?

· Are the hard money lenders that you’re talking with direct lenders (funds in house) or are they a broker? Brokered loans can delay delivery unless dealing with agents that have an extensive rolodex.

· Is the lender local or what geographic region do they serve? Where is your project located?

· What are the closing costs and interest rate?

· Can they close the loan quickly? Are they responsive to you and your project?

· Is the lender trustworthy and experienced in the type of project you are seeking to fund?

When searching for hard money lenders, a Google search will produce hundreds of options. Be sure to look for the following:

Experience. The lender you are talking with should have plenty of experience in the real estate industry as well as experience in the niche industry of hard money loans. An experienced lender will have knowledge in the specifics of hard money loans. The experienced lender will also have the knowledge of procedures and regulations that must be followed which will simplify the process.

Licensed. A hard money lender should hold licenses with state and local real estate bureaus and associations. If the lenders originate consumer loans, then they should be registered with Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS).

Rates and Terms should be Competitive. Look out for lenders who charge interest rates that seem too good to be true. This may be indicators that the lender you are talking with or negotiating with is either unexperienced or untrustworthy.

Transparency is Key

Some lenders will use a bait and switch tactic. Published rates that are very low are often used to attract novice investors looking for the best deal. In all communications, a reputable hard money lender should be clear and upfront about rates, fees and terms.

Quick funding is one of the most common reasons that real estate investors choose to obtain capital from a lender specializing in hard money.

You locate the real estate you want to invest in, your offer is accepted, and now the clock runs, and time is of the essence. You may be choosing this type of lender because of the time-consuming process a conventional lender takes to approve a loan. Then, of course, there is the massive documentation that is needed with a conventional lender. Hard money lenders are known to deliver the loan quickly. As many an investor will tell you, if you do not get the loan funded quickly, you may very well lose the deal. If the lender you’re working with cannot fund the loan in an expeditious manner, you may want to seek capital elsewhere.

Considering a Fix & Hold? Read What This Broker Says First

Broker Explains Why Arizona is Tops for Investment Properties

Most of the people we help at Level 4 Funding work in the fix-and-flip industry. They use hard money loans to purchase a property, make repairs, and get it back on the market quickly. We’ve recently interviewed several clients who do just this. However, hard money loans are also utilized by borrowers who need to move quickly in the market; particularly if they’re trying to grab up an investment property before someone else does. This unique angle is attractive to a different category of real estate investors; perhaps those who fix-and-flip, but also those who fix-and-hold in situations where a traditional bank loan won’t suffice. Realtor Chris Mendenhall of Harcourts Prime Properties spoke with us on this front and gave us a few insights for those hoping to make smart real estate investments.

Chris has Been in Real Estate Since 1987

A true veteran of the industry, Chris began his career as a real estate broker more than three decades ago. Although he works primarily in north Los Angeles County, he also serves Orange, San Diego, and Riverside Counties. Chris was working in lending during the 90s crash, helping buyers with their loan applications. “It was a tough time,” he says. “There were only 12,000 sales that year, in an area with 12,000 realtors.”

His Current Focus is on Asset-Based Auctions

Working with Harcourts Prime, Chris’ current focus is on asset-based auctions. He helps sellers get top dollar for their properties within a very short period of time and also gives buyers the chance to purchase property at public auction using a transparent process. Unlike other auctions, buyers can see everything from home inspections to pest inspections prior to making a bid. Despite the quick turnaround, Chris says most properties are grabbed before they make it to auction. Those that do land in the hands of trusted auctioneer Ben Brady, who has handled $4.5 million in properties over the past year alone.

Chris Says Arizona’s the Place to Be for Fix & Flips and Fix & Holds

One of the most recent deals that left Chris in awe was a 26-unit building in Phoenix, which was purchased by investors with the intent to flip and hold. “Mark changed their lives,” Chris says of Level 4 Funding partner Mark Gowlovech. “He helped them generate close to one million dollars in equity.” After a few rounds of funding, the property, which was purchased for next to nothing, now has a value of about $1.5 million and is filled with renters on month-to-month leases. When asked what he thinks of the industry, Chris compared the Arizona market to California. “Arizona’s a better place to do it,” he explained. “It’s easier to rent. The laws are more favorable.”

Focus on the Numbers if You Plan to Get into the Industry

Aside from working in Arizona over California, Chris gives investors some additional advice: “Identify a property that has the numbers. It’s all a numbers thing. Not, I like this color or I like this floorplan,” he explains. He also adds that working with someone like Mark is advantageous. “He has tools that really help his clients,” and ensures they’re making smart investment decisions.

Work with Chris or Learn More About Hard Money Loans

Chris says he often works business professionals who run into situations in which properties have to get to market quickly and the sale must be handled by a neutral third party, which is quite common when it comes to the legal realm, especially family law. Harcourts Prime Properties is only in California thus far, with plans to expand across the US in the near future. If you’d like to connect with him, you can visit his LinkedIn profile, follow him on Facebook, or visit his site ChrisMendenhall.HarcourtsPrime.com.

Level 4 Funding, on the other hand, helps people in California, Arizona, and Texas. If you need funding for a project, such as a multi-family dwelling or general fix-and-flip, and a traditional bank loan isn’t a viable option, learn more about how we can assist you.

Here’s What it Takes to Be a Rebel Rehabber/ Fix & Flip Pro

Curious what it takes to be a rebel rehabber? At Level 4 Funding, we have the pleasure of helping some amazing people who work in the fix and flip business and sometimes they’re kind enough to share their stories with us. We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Yvette Stevens of Miami Beach Fix & Flip, and she not only gave us her personal story, but some epic tips for those of you who are interested in becoming a house flipper as well.

Yvette Always had a Fascination with Finance and Homes

While she may not have known it at the time, Yvette was being primed for the fix and flip business from an early age. Growing up in Chicago, she often visited her father’s construction sites and fell in love. It wasn’t long before she was begging her parents to take her on tours of the city, so she could soak up the architecture and imagine what it would be like to create similar homes. While other kids were nagging their parents for spending cash, Yvette was happily balancing her mother’s checkbook and paying the household bills. It’s no surprise, then, that when it was time for Yvette to choose a career, she jumped headfirst into lending.

One of Yvette’s current projects: completed stock plan, a 2,721-square-foot beauty

She Decided to Kiss the Corporate Ceiling Goodbye

Although Yvette loved many aspects of her career, particularly reading the plans that came in with loan applications, she wasn’t content to sit still. “Corporate America has a ceiling,” she says, “especially for women.” She rebelled. Using her expertise in both construction and lending, Yvette began transitioning into development in 2005, building homes from the ground up.

The Market Crash Left Her with “Beans”

“Real estate goes in ten-year cycles,” she says. The money, mortgages, real estate, and politics are all tied together, resulting in regular shifts. This, she says, is also the cause of the “steak and beans” lending cycle. During lean times, Yvette has been able to refocus on her career in finance, while searching for development opportunities when the market has been good. Like many others, the crash of 2008 hit Yvette hard. She was working on building an entire subdivision that September, but she managed to climb back up out of it and now does fix-and-flip work too.

When Choosing Fix-and-Flip Properties, Yvette Goes for a Blank Slate

Every fix-and-flip pro has a specialty. For Yvette, her ideal property is one she can tear down to the studs, simply because she loves having a blank slate to work with. “The uglier they are, the more we like them,” she says. Her current project is an older home in a historic district, which comes with rigid requirements for what can be done to the outside of the home, but she doesn’t mind at all. “Construction feeds my creative side,” she adds. Her primary focus is Florida these days, but Yvette researches various markets and finds new opportunities all over the country.

Yvette Offers a Wealth of Advice for Potential Fix-and-Flippers

“It’s not that easy,” she says. “People think they’re going to jump in and make money,” but there’s so much more involved. You have to “live, breathe, and eat real estate.”

“You’ve gotta have some cash.” Even if you get 100%, you’ll need to have money set aside for things like closing and emergencies.

“Look at it like a line of credit.” Lenders look for 20% verified liquid assets in order to ensure the borrower can finish the project. “Be prepared. Everybody wants something for nothing these days, but it just doesn’t work that way.”

“Learn, learn, learn before you earn.” Research your market; don’t jump into it. Get a good understanding of how credit and assets work. Learn about the business and concentrate on a market. Yvette’s a fan of BiggerPockets.com and points out that newcomers may benefit from the free information and tools the site offers, like fix-and-flip calculators.

“Make a lot of offers. Keep throwing them up against the wall until one sticks.” Resilience is paramount because you’ll get a lot of rejections before you find one that’s really a great deal you can work with.

“Love what you do. If it’s not fun, you’re not going to be successful.” There will be a lot of ups and downs when you do home rehabs. Enjoying what you do will keep you motivated and on your toes, even when things are difficult.

Learn More

If you’d like to connect with Yvette, head over to her LinkedIn profile and say “Hello.” We’ll be covering the stories of other Level 4 Funding clients as well, so pop back over soon for the next installment. You can also reach out to us directly if you’re interested in financing your next fix-and-flip with a hard money loan.

Tips From Texas Hard Money Lenders: How to Choose an Investment Property

Seasoned real estate investors know that in order to make money on your real estate investment, it is crucial that you choose your investment property wisely. If you are a new investor, take advice from the professionals who have been there and done that when it comes to investment properties, Texas hard money lenders.

Making money in real estate is one part timing, one part luck, and the rest is planning. While you may not be able to control the timing or your luck, you can make a plan to make money. Having a plan makes it more likely that your investment will become a success story, rather than a cautionary tale.

When it comes to investment planning, no one does it better than Texas hard money lenders. Hard money lenders give specialized, cash based loans for investments. It may be your first fix and flip, but they are seasoned professionals who are used to weathering bad markets and still coming out on top. Here are a few tips from Texas hard money lenders that will help make sure you come out on top too.

Choose the location of your investment property wisely. You can change finishes, renovate kitchens, and even knock down walls. Short of investing in a trailer (which Texas hard money lenders don't recommend, by the way), you can't move a house. Make sure you pick a desirable location to make the most money on your investment.
Don't over-extend yourself. Don't spend more on a house than you can reasonably make when you sell it. Also, don't over-renovate because this will make you lose money in the long run.
Get an accurate appraisal of any property BEFORE you buy it. Most flippers get appraisals after they fix up a property, but if you have lost money it is too late at this point. Having the property appraised before you purchase it will give you an idea of if you're getting a good deal and will help you gauge what you may be able to sell it for.
Get an inspection. While most investment properties are sold as is, a home inspection can help you make sure that there are not issues that are beyond your ability or budget to deal with.

By following these tips from Texas hard money lenders, you can make money and save yourself time and stress on your first real estate investment project.

Calling in the help of hard money lenders, Texas real estate professionals, and other investors can help you make sure that you make money in your investment, rather than lose it. Call a hard money lender today to get started making real estate investments today!

How to Become a Landlord with Hard Money Lenders in Texas

Being a landlord can be a very lucrative business if you are driven, have some handyman skills, and like working with people. With hard money lenders in Texas you can qualify for a loan on a rental property, even if you have rotten credit, a high debt to income ratio, or other financial issues.

If you want to own rental properties, you are in good company. Rental income can be a great supplement to your finances and in some cases, be enough to quit your other job. If you want to be a landlord, you need to look into hard money lenders in Texas.

Hard money lenders give out specialized, hard money loans. A hard money loan is an asset based, cash loan that can help you purchase investment properties. You can use hard money loans for a number of situations including cash for a down payment or even to finance the entire purchase. Loans from hard money lenders in Texas are especially useful if you need cash quickly like in the case of an auction property or foreclosure. Often you can get a great deal by having cash in hand compared to the promise of traditional financing. This is especially true if you are purchasing an auction or foreclosure property.

Before you take the plunge and become a landlord, you need to make sure that it will be a good fit for your lifestyle and goals. Being a landlord usually means being on-call almost 24-7. Unless you own several properties and can afford managers and maintenance companies, most of the work will fall on your shoulders. It is also helpful if you have some basic home repair skills or have connections to get maintenance for cheap. Once you have decided that being a landlord is the right choice, Texas hard money lenders can help make your dreams come true.

3 Ways Texas Hard Money Lenders Can Lend A Helping Hand

If becoming a landlord using loans from hard money lenders in Texas sounds like a good option, make sure you do your research before you commit. Here are 3 situations where hard money loans can make your dreams come true.

1. You anticipate a windfall or making above average rent on the property. Hard money loans do carry a higher interest rate so they are not good long term solutions. But, if you anticipate a large windfall they can be a great bridge loan to buy the property now and pay later. If the property is a great deal in a high rent area hard money loans may also be a great option if you can make money above and beyond the interest rates.

2. You need cash quickly. If you need to move fast on a deal, hard money lenders can get you approved and get money in your pocket much more quickly than a traditional bank.

3. You have bad credit or other financial issues. Hard money loans are based on the merit of your investment and its ability to generate income for you and your hard money lender. This means that Texas hard money lenders don't care too much about your credit score or debt to income ratio.

If you want to learn more about how hard money loans can help you become a landlord, contact Texas hard money lenders today!

With Hard Money Loans, Texas Real Estate Investors Prosper

Whether you are a novice real estate investor, a seasoned home flipper, or somewhere in between, with hard money loans, Texas real estate investors can prosper. Swift approval times, little paper work, and fast access to cash make hard money loans a Texas investor's dream come true.

With hard money loans, Texas investors can make big bucks in the real estate market. Hard money loans offer quick approval times, streamlined paperwork, and access to cash assets. In many ways, they can be a dream come true.

One main way that hard money loans, Texas investors, and Texas fix and flip properties go hand in hand, is that hard money loans offer cash loans. With traditional financing, you don't have access to cash assets. While this is perfectly fine in a traditional sale, many investments rely on the ability to make a strong, cash offer. In fact, if you are buying at an auction (a great way to get some fantastic deals on fixer uppers) you absolutely have to come with cash in hand. Hard money loans offer investors the cash they need to close the deal.

Secondly, hard money loans offer flexibility. This means that hard money loans, Texas flippers, and houses that need some TLC can be a match made in heaven. During a renovation project, any number of issues can come up to delay your timeline. Texas hard money lenders will usually work with you to keep your project on schedule and to extend you loan if it becomes necessary.

Thirdly, hard money loans offer Texas investors fast approval with little attention paid to individual credit scores. Texas hard money lenders are different from a bank in that they care about the merit of your investment, not your personal finances. The paperwork for the loan is streamlined and you can get your cash fast, often the same day.

How to Get Hard Money Loans Texas Investors Rely On

If a hard money loan sounds like a good option for you, then it is time to contact a private lender in Texas. There are several options to go about getting a hard money loan. One is to rely on someone you already know who would like to back your investment. This is a great option if you have a rich uncle or relative who wants to make some passive income. If not, don't worry, you still have options.

Barring a rich relative, you can seek out Texas hard money lenders to finance your investment project. Texas hard money lenders are private investment companies and equity firms who specialize in alternative funding sources and cash loans. In order to find a hard money lender, make sure you do your homework. There are less regulations for Texas hard money lenders so you need to be extra diligent. Make sure the firm is headed by a licensed mortgage broker with experience in Texas.

Once you have found your Texas hard money lenders, they should be able to answer all your questions about hard money loans Texas and start making your dreams come true!

Get started with Texas hard money lenders and get your real estate career off the ground, today!

How to Make Money With Texas Hard Money Lenders

The key to being successful in real estate investing is to find the right Texas hard money lenders to back your purchases. Without a lender, most investors don't have sufficient cash to purchase, renovate, and sell properties and therefore won't ever get their real estate career off the ground.

Unless you are independently wealthy or have family who is, you most likely don't have the cash collateral necessary to make money by investing in real estate. Sure you could probably finance one property but it is unlikely that you would be able to get a cash loan to get a good deal or make an auction purchase. In addition, you won't be able to borrow more than the mortgage amount to use to fix up the home.

So, you may think, that unless you are a millionaire, it is impossible for you to make money in real estate. This is simply not the case. Using a less commonly known type of financing called hard money loans from Texas hard money lenders, you can break into the real estate game.

How to Make Money With Hard Money Loans from Texas Hard Money Lenders

Once you have decided to stop let finances hold you back from making big bucks with real estate investing, it is time to do a little research to find Texas hard money lenders. Hard money lenders specialize in asset based loans called hard money loans. Hard money loans are backed by the property you are purchasing and are cash loans. This makes them ideal for foreclosure and auction properties. You can also use a cash offer to get a better deal on many properties. If you can talk the asking price down, you may even have enough left over to put towards some renovations.

Once you have obtained your hard money loan, you use it to purchase a real estate investment. Whether you choose a fix and flip, short term rental (think a home in a city that is getting a big sporting event or other event that will attract short term vacation rentals), or another real estate investment. Once you sell the investment, you use the money to pay back your Texas hard money lenders. Any amount above and beyond your loan value, is your profit to keep.

There are several benefits to hard money loans. First and foremost, they are not based on your credit score or finances. Secondly, hard money loans are very flexible in their terms. You can often get extensions if you need to and there are even interest only payment options. Finally, hard money loans allow you to cross collateralize to borrow more money if you run into unexpected expenses.

Once you have decided that hard money loans are the right option for you, find Texas hard money lenders to lend a helping hand and make your dreams come true!

A hard money lender can help you get started on the hard money loan process. Your lender can also point you in the direction of other real estate professionals that can help you on your investment journey. Don't put off getting a loan any longer. Make your dreams of becoming a real estate mogul come true today!
