4 Biggest Myths About Hard Money Loans

4 Biggest Myths About Hard Money Loans

All real estate investing can be scary, but especially when talking about “hard money loans”.  In reality, hard money loans are fairly common when it comes to real estate investing.  By definition, hard money or privately funded loans, are just that: loans given by individuals instead of by a bank or traditional lending institution.  Despite that simple explanation, there are still lots of myths about hard money loans.  Let’s exam and dispel some of these here:

  1. Only the Desperate Seek Out Hard Money Loans:  Most of the people who seek out hard money loans are smart business people who need a very quick close not possible with larger institutions, have bad credit, recent bankruptcy or they have difficulty proving income.
  2. Hard Money Lenders Are All Loan Sharks: These lenders are business people just like their clients and are fully aware that fairness and good business sense means you get return business.  Sun Pacific Mortgage has been in business for over 33 years, it’s owned and operated by a family of very dedicated business professionals with hundreds of repeat Borrowers and weekly referred Borrowers.
  3. Hard Money Loans Are More Expensive Than Traditional Ones:  If time is money, than to get money in less than a week so you can acquire a property for a profit is essential.  If a traditional lender can’t get you the funds in time to salvage the deal, then it is simply not a valid option.
  4. Hard Money Loans Have Draconian Rules:  Generally speaking, hard money loans have different restrictions put on them than consumer loans.  Lenders and borrowers are encouraged to negotiate until they reach mutually acceptable terms.  All governmental regulations regarding hard money loans are strictly adhered to by Sun Pacific Mortgage.

Sun Pacific Mortgage has been able to help thousands of borrowers and investors enhance their family wealth by being there when they were needed.  We are the “Guys in the White Hats” who can rescue a real estate deal when it suddenly turns sour if Underwriting disapproves the loan; We are there for FAST financing needed for those quicker closes.  Give us call (707-523-2099) to see what we can do for you.

How Can You Get Into Contract For A Home Faster?

How Can You Get Into Contract For A Home Faster

While the housing market forecast for the second half of this year remains healthy, there may not be a better time to sell than right now.  According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), homes are selling in an average of 17 days, and in California that number drops significantly.

Average days on the market is a strong indicator of buyer competition, and homes selling quickly is a great sign for sellers, not so much for buyers!  With inventory down, sellers can expect to receive multiple offers on their home in today’s market.  NAR reports sellers are seeing an average of 5 offers, and these are competitive ones.

If you doubted the competitiveness of today’s real estate market, you have only to look at a recent review of the San Francisco Peninsula statistics for June. This data shows listings sold for anywhere from 8%-15% above asking price.  This opportunity to pick and choose what offer to accept allows the seller to select the one that makes the most sense for their situation and financial well-being.

Over the past couple of years in California, homeowners have gained significant equity.  Equipped with this leverage, many sellers are looking to buy more suitable housing for their families. But what if you find the home of your dreams and you haven’t yet sold your existing house?  To make a clean offer and help ensure the purchase of your new home, buyers are looking for fast bridge loans to span the gap.

Sun Pacific Mortgage (707-523-2099) has offers a variety of private money mortgage programs, among them, bridge loans for both owner-occupied and investment properties.  By borrowing the equity for a short amount of time a buyer can close an escrow faster and not risk the chance of losing their desired new property by tacking on a contingency to their offer.

Our family owned and operated company of more than 33 years, has been able to get the necessary funds into escrow within a week, far sooner than conventional lending institutions.  Give us the opportunity to help you with real estate funding in California.

Is the Housing Market About to Crash?

Is The Housing Market About To Crash 1

With home prices at record highs and properties, especially in California, flying off the market in just hours, it’s no wonder that the Google search for “when is the housing market going to crash” has spiked dramatically in recent weeks.

Although this present housing mania may remind us of the mid-2000 bubble, experts say there’s no reason to prepare for a crash-landing like in 2008 and 2009.  This time the reason is simply a result of supply-and-demand.  There are just not enough homes to satisfy all the prospective Buyers out there.

According to Ali Wolf, chief economist at building consultancy Zonda:

“Today’s prices feel unsustainable, today’s frenzy feels unsustainable.  But that doesn’t mean there’s going to be a crash.  That’s bad news for a lot of shoppers who are hoping for prices to come down.”

He continues with the prediction that over the next year or two, prices will continue to rise, but at a much slower pace.  Bidding wars will taper off, and the astronomical offers over asking price will eventually come down, because there is no way the double-digit price growth can continue long term.

We are all aware that today there are far more Buyers than homes for sale.  That is another sharp reversal from the late 2000s.  Back then, overbuilding yielded far more properties than there were Buyers.  Now there isn’t enough new construction to meet the demand.

Probably, the most important factor in the last collapse were the bad mortgages.  Thankfully, these have largely disappeared from the market.  Today’s Buyers may be paying top dollar, but they have been carefully vetted to ensure they can afford their mortgages.

If you want to get into a new home before prices escalate even more, how about presenting a stronger offer with faster close by taking advantage of a private home loan?  Or, if you find you don’t quite qualify for the more rigorous conditions required in a conventional mortgage today, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099 or visit our website at www.sunpacificmortgage.com.

We have helped thousands of Buyers over the past 33 years with our private money real estate loans in California.  We even offer owner-occupied home loans.
