Deal Of The Month – Superhero To The Rescue

Super Heroforest2 Rush Purchase In Healdsburg, Sonoma County

Rush Purchase in Healdsburg, Sonoma County

A past borrower of ours called me a couple of weeks ago, asking if I could help save her deal.  Unfortunately, it was about to fall out of Escrow due to a last minute hiccup by her conventional Lender. She was desperate, needing the money in less than 2 weeks.

She was trying to purchase an investment property in Healdsburg and needed 580K for a loan to value of 80%.  I got to work and just 7 days later she got her loan from us and could close on the rental she wanted!

Hard Money loans can be superheroes for those scenarios not quite fitting  conventional lending criteria. Some reasons could be due to poor credit, fast financing needed, property condition, etc. Such loans have speed, flexibility and strength in purchase offers and refinances.

Call us at Sun Pacific Mortgage 707-523-2099 and we will let you know how we can be the Superhero you need.

Santa Clara Property Refinance In Santa Clara, California

Property Refinance in Santa Clara, California

I work with many loan Brokers and Realtors.  One of my Brokers called with a transaction he needed to get done for a borrower on a rental property refinance. The clients needed a $770,000 first mortgage at 10% interest only for 2 years – and it was needed quickly as they had to close escrow on a new purchase of a multifamily property.

This Broker is a true professional.  He had already spoken with the clients and had all of the documentation he knew was required for loan approval, which he then forwarded to me.

Within 19 days all transactions were completed – the refinance and the new multifamily purchase!  A very happy home owner indeed.

To be successful, Hard Money loans must be  have speed and flexibility.  In this type of market, with multiple offers, borrowers can benefit from hard money as it fulfills a very real need in real estate buying these days.

What Is a Bridge Loan – And How Is It Beneficial?

March 6, 2017

Yes Real Estate Agents, Investors, Home Buyers And Home Sellers Are Always Interested In Utilizing Smart Home Buying Strategies.

Real estate agents, investors, home buyers and home sellers are always interested in utilizing smart home buying strategies.

A bridge loan is a type of creative financing that falls into the category of “smart home buying strategies”.  It is a short term loan, 12 to 18 months only.  It gets paid off with longer-term financing sometime in the near future,  or from the sale of the property.  As the name implies,  it  provides a bridge from one transaction to the next.

The Benefits:

#1. A Bridge loan is sometimes considered a cash purchase by Listing Agents.

#2. The Buyer does not need a contingency clause in the purchase offer of their new    home.

#3.  A home owner can buy a new house now and sell their present home later.

#4. There is no fear of losing their dream home because they have not sold their present home.

#5. Your buyer can buy a fixer, renovate it and have their dream home.  Hard money bridge loans are often the solution for less than perfect properties.

#6. Speed.  These loans can usually close in less than a week.

The Requirements:

  • It must be a 12 month loan.
  • There will be 3 months of guaranteed interest minimally.
  • 20% down payment required on a purchase.
  • On a refinance there must be lendable equity.

 

The Uses:

Typically, bridge loans are sought when another sale is pending and the funds are needed to close the final deal.   At other times,  a buyer may be in a “fire sale” situation,  where the seller on the other end of the transaction must close a deal within a specified period of time.

Some instances when you might use a Bridge Loan are:

  • Pulling some cash out of the equity in your current home to secure a down payment to purchase another home. This allows you more time to sell your present home.
  • Refinancing the property you are selling to pay cash for the new home.

 

The Costs:

Rates and costs for Bridge Loans can vary by Lender.   Rates range between *9-12% and are usually interest only.  Rates depend on the amount of the down payment so the bigger the down, the lower the interest rate.

How We Can Help You:

We are licensed for the state of California and have been in business for 29 years.

Call our office at 707-523-2099 and within just a few minutes, we can let you know what we can do for you!

 

We hope this has helped you understand more about what a Bridge loan is and how we can be of assistance.

How Strict Has Mortgage Lending Become?

February 23, 2017

1 1 There Is A General Belief Today That Lending Requirements Have Become So Restrictive That Many Lower-Credit Borrowers Are Dropping Out Of The Mortgage Market.

There is a general belief today that lending requirements have become so restrictive that many lower-credit borrowers are dropping out of the mortgage market.

The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data discloses that 33% of all applicants in 2015 were in the lower-credit category compared to 62% in 2006 and 50% in 2000 – when the market was judged to be balanced.

The decline in lower-credit applicants is clearly problematic and a symptom of an overly-tight mortgage market.  Are would-be applicants holding back because they are afraid they might not qualify? Or for some other reason, such as the condition of the property?    

A hard money loan might be the answer for those who have less than stellar credit and would not qualify for a conventional loan.  This option can provide an avenue to enter the real estate market when it appears that all hope has been lost.  

Here at Sun Pacific Mortgage make it our goal to find a way to make home ownership possible when chances look slim to none.  Don’t give up on your dream of home ownership.  Please call us at 707-523-2099 and see how we can help you with a hard money loan.

Presidents Day Promo With Stop Watch Lack Of Inventory Has Real Estate A Bit Muddled At The Moment.  However, With Bridge Loans And Short Term Loans, Real Estate Activity Can Be Increased And Benefit Those Home Owners Who Do Want To Sell.

Lack of inventory has real estate a bit muddled at the moment.  However, with bridge loans and short term loans, real estate activity can be increased and benefit those Home Owners who do want to sell.

● This type of financing removes the stress of having to get into contract on a new home before one sells their current house.

● Purchase offers can be extra strong as the financing required to buy a new home is available, no longer requiring a contingency of one’s current house to be sold.

In 2016 our company funded 235 Hard Money loans. It was a good mix of owner occupied loans, rental property loans, Bridge loans, Temporary Loans, small Commercial Loans and Land Loans. We took an average of 20 days to fund a loan, with our fastest funding in 3 days! January 2017 marked the 29th Anniversary of our family company doing home loans.

We continue to stand ready to help you, a client or someone you know bridge the gap between a current home and a new future home with our alternative finance programs.  Call us today at 707-523-2099!

Why Invest in Real Estate?

February 7, 2017

Yep The Fallout From The Recession Left Some Investors Less Likely To Look To The Real Estate Sector As An Option For Wealth Growth.  However, We Have Witnessed A Radical Change In The Economy And As A Result, Real Estate Has Once Again Regained Its Rightful Place As A Solid Investment In Today’s Financial World.

The fallout from the recession left some investors less likely to look to the real estate sector as an option for wealth growth.  However, we have witnessed a radical change in the economy and as a result, real estate has once again regained its rightful place as a solid investment in today’s financial world.

Unlike stocks and bonds, real estate is founded on brick and mortar.  A major advantage of real estate investments is the significant portion of return, which accrues either from rental income or appreciation over the long term.

Additionally, investing in real estate has a lower risk factor than other major asset classes.  This allows the investor to lower his/her portfolio volatility.  Financial consultants always advise diversification for their clients.

We have seen that as the economy has grown, the demand for real estate has driven the rents higher and higher, allowing for unprecedented growth in individual capital.

Of course, one of the major drawbacks of real estate investing is the lack of liquidity.  While you might be able to cash in stock overnight for immediate funds,  a real estate transaction can take months even with a competent agent.   Overall, as long as you have built flexibility into your portfolio,  you can be comfortable with some portion of it being illiquid, but producing capital appreciation.

For the past 29 years Sun Pacific Mortgage and Real Estate has provided many investors with the opportunity to invest in Notes.  We regularly have trust deeds available, for property investments throughout California.

If interested in earning 9-12% return, we look forward to working with you.   Please call 707-523-2099 for information on becoming an investor through us.

Jump Start Your Real Estate Project With Hard Money Loan

February 2, 2017

Guy If You Need Funds To Purchase A Property To Rehab, Buy More Investment Properties, Or Buy Your Own Home, Hard Money Lending May Be The Solution For You.

If you need funds to purchase a property to rehab, buy more investment properties, or buy your own home, hard money lending may be the solution for you.

Hard money lenders primarily look at assets instead of credit scores.  In most cases, if you have at least 35% to put as a down payment or use from existing equity, they will provide you with the capital to bridge the gap in a short amount of time.  Even though hard money carries a higher interest rate than conventional loans, they can offer the springboard you need to jump into the real estate investment world.

Other benefits of hard money lending include:

Quick Approval.   It is possible to get a loan funded in a matter of days as opposed to months.  It some cases this can be a make or break factor.  

Easier Qualification.  Credit scores are not the stumbling block they can be with conventional lending.  You are more than a number with private lenders.

Hard Money Same as Cash.  Many sellers are persuaded to accept an offer that is based on hard money, because It is considered a cash offer, over a traditional loan.
We are here to help you get started in California, so call us with any questions or investment scenarios at 707-523-2099.
