Super-Fast Loan Done For Broker

Superbowl Promo Property Refinance In Santa Clara, California

Property Refinance in Santa Clara, California

I work with many loan Brokers and Realtors.  One of my Broker buddies 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 quick as they had to close escrow on a new purchase of a multifamily property.

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

The phone call to me on January 3rd and by January 22 all transactions were completed – the refinance and the new multifamily purchase. Touchdown!

Hard Money loans are like magic.  They have speed and flexibility.  In this type of market, with multiple offers, borrowers can benefit from hard money as it fulfills a tremendous purpose in real estate buying these days.

Northern California’s Bay Area 2016 Year End Review

Graph These Statistics And Information Suggest That It Is The Right Time To Invest In Real Estate, Before The Inevitable Increases That Historically Occur In The Spring.

These statistics and information suggest that it is the right time to invest in real estate, before the inevitable increases that historically occur in the Spring.

Pacific Union’s Economist, Selma Hepp, recently published the following data regarding the real estate market in the Bay Area:

  • The December home sales decline in the Bay Area was larger than historically seen between November and December.
  • Activity among higher-end homes picked up in December, especially in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, where that price point struggled earlier in the year.
  • The decline was led by slower activity among homes priced below $1 million, which is a function of higher mortgage rates, but also a severely depleted inventory of affordable homes for sale.
  • December inventory levels fell by double the rate from November than seen since 2008. There were 4 percent fewer home sales in 2016 than in 2015, with a larger decline in Marin and Alameda counties.
  • Among the eight Bay Area counties — excluding Solano — only Napa County home sales activity finished 2016 on a stronger note than last year.

 

The strongest 2016 appreciation was recorded in Sonoma, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties.  December buyers remained enthusiastic in Napa and Sonoma counties, while San Francisco and Silicon Valley continued to see relatively fewer buyers willing to engage in bidding wars.

Overall, however, home sales in all of 2016 were only about 4 percent lower than in 2015. Marin County saw the largest decline, with a 7 percent drop in sales, followed by a 5 percent decline in Alameda County. The other Bay Area counties saw 3 percent to 4 percent declines in sales.

California Bay Area’s Home Sales Substantial Gains

Ss It Is Time To Get Onto The Band Wagon To Buy An Investment Property Or To Buy Your Home And Stop Throwing Away Money On Rent. Real Estate Prices Are Increasing, Why Wait For Them To Go Higher?

It is time to get onto the band wagon to buy an investment property or to buy your home and stop throwing away money on rent. Real Estate prices are increasing, why wait for them to go higher?

According to a recent blog post by Pacific Union, California and the Bay Area See Substantial Home Sales Gains in November, “home shoppers across major California regions — including the Bay Area — were quite active in November, boosting annual sales volumes by double-digit percentage points.”

“Across the nine-county Bay Area, home sales spiked by 18.7 percent on an annual basis. All local counties saw sales volumes pick up from the previous November, with gains ranging from 26.7 percent in Solano County to 0.7 percent in Marin County.”

“Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties remain the only Bay Area counties where the median sales price exceeds $1 million, but price growth in these most expensive of real estate markets is slowing. In Alameda and Sonoma counties, home prices grew at a faster clip than the regional or state average.”

“Eight of nine counties experienced inventory declines from last November, with only Contra Costa County recording a modest annual improvement.  Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties have the fewest number of available homes in California, all with less than a two-month supply. In a statement accompanying the report, CAR Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young said that rising interest rates could push more buyers to compete for a limited number of homes on the market, which might drive more price growth and further reduce affordability.”

So, what does this tell us?  Waiting to invest may not be the best strategy for 2017.  The lack of inventory will continue to be problem for the near future.  On the other hand, the appreciation that is possible, makes it worth the trouble to investigate the deals that are worth the effort.

Temporary Purchase Loan in San Rafael – Wish Granted

These particular home buyers were referred to me after being turned down by their local bank.  They were just about to sign the closing papers at Escrow for their new home but final loan approval fell through.  They needed a fast bridge loan so they wouldn’t miss out on the new house they wanted!

They still lived in their house in San Anselmo but wanted to move to a new home in San Rafael and needed a $430,000 temporary home loan to make this happen. So, I made this loan happen.

In just over 2 weeks, I got their loan approved and funded so they could sign and close on their new home.  Merry Christmas to them!

We specialize in financing loans that have been turned down elsewhere.  Any credit issues, difficult to prove income, property condition, etc. – not a problem!

Call our office at 707-523-2099 if you need some alternative financing for any real estate purchase or refinance.  We are happy to help!

1 1 Property Refinance In Berkeley, California

Hard Money Loan of the Month
By Broker, Lead Loan Originator

Property Refinance in Berkeley, California

I received a call from a borrower whose parents had recently passed away, he had their reverse mortgage and was given just a few months to pay this off or lose the house.  Needless to say, this was a stressful time for the borrower.

Due to credit issues after many medical expenses the borrower did not qualify for a conventional loan.  This is when they called me, referred by one of their friends who had gotten a loan from me earlier in the year.

By this time, there was only a couple of weeks before the house was going to be foreclosed on.   But no sweat, within 2 weeks we had all items needed for their loan, approved, funded and closed!

Loan amount needed was $600,000 which was about a 70% loan to value for an owner occupied Hard Money loan. They were able to pay off the reverse mortgage, all of their incurred medical debts and all recent debts that had negatively impacted their credit.  All financial stress was gone and the borrower was able to save their childhood home!

We specialize in loans that have been turned down elsewhere due to credit issues, difficult to prove income, property condition, etc., and one of our favorite mottos is “If we say it can be done, we’ll get it done!”

The Holidays Are Here…5 Reasons To Buy AND Sell Real Estate Now.

Housepresent With The Holiday Rapidly Approaching, Home Buyers And Sellers Tend To Decide To Take A Break.  This Is The Exact Wrong Time To Stop House Hunting Or House Selling!

With the Holiday rapidly approaching, home buyers and sellers tend to decide to take a break.  This is the exact wrong time to stop house hunting or house selling!

For home buyers looking to buy their first home or move up home, house prices are projected to increase. If you wait, you will end up paying more for your home, meaning higher monthly mortgage payments.

For all the homeowners who have been unable to sell over the last few years due to negative equity situation, there has been a return of positive equity in real estate, with values increasing over the past two years.  Many of these homeowners will be coming to the market soon and you don’t want wait for all this inventory of homes to come on the market before you sell.

An article from The KCM Crew, Winter Is Coming…5 Reasons to Sell Now, details 5 specific reasons why the Holiday is a good time to sell a house or buy a home:

1. Demand Is Strong

2. There Is Less Competition Now

3. The Process Will Be Quicker

4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move Up

5. It’s Time to Move On with Your Life

Another article, this one from Pacific Union Bay Area Real Estate Blog, Bay Area Homes Are Selling Faster Than Anywhere Else, mentions why now is not the time to slow down:

SAN FRANCISCO, SAN JOSE ARE THE NATION’S QUICKEST-PACED HOUSING MARKETS.
“The Bay Area’s well-documented inventory crunch is ensuring that serious homebuyers waste little time making deals this fall, with the San Francisco and San Jose metro area housing markets moving at the fastest pace in the nation…Bay Area homes are selling more than twice as fast as they do nationwide — 35 days in San Francisco and 37 days in San Jose. And in certain local submarkets, the pace of sales is even quicker. MLS data from Pacific Union’s October Real Estate Report shows that single-family homes in our East Bay region sold in an average of 17 days.”

Any desire to live in the Bay Area must be met with fast action before the real estate is snatched up!  If you are having difficulty with loan approval, don’t hesitate to reach our to us at Sun Pacific Mortgage and Real Estate.  We are family owned and operated and have been California’s Hard Money Lender Since 1988.

We would be happy to help get you a new home for the Holidays!

What is a Hard Money Loan?

Hard Money loan qualifications are more forgiving than conventional or bank financing and the two basic qualifications are:

#1. Decent existing real estate equity or at least a 25% down payment if a purchase and
#2. An ability to repay the loan.

You could get up to 70-75% of the value of the property. If in Sonoma County, you could get up to 80%. Hard money loans are based largely on equity from real estate assets.

Basically considered all cash, such loans are extra strong and can be used to purchase or refinance fixer properties, bad credit borrowers, irregular income borrowers, large cash-out borrower, someone needing fast cash, short term Bridge loans, etc.

Owners still need to refinance their homes to make home improvements, buy a 2nd home or investment property and Buyers still want to buy even with tarnished profiles. Hard Money is the only option out there if they have been turned down by their favorite bank or mortgage broker or local Lender.

Many people have credit card rates that are 15% to 32% and Hard Money rates average 9% to12% with interest only payments. It will likely cost a bit more than a 30 year fixed rate loan and the rates are higher but it can get you the money you need you have been turned down elsewhere for a refinance or home loan.

We invite you to call us at 707-523-2099 and see how Hard Money will work for your situation. Having worked with many types of loan scenarios since 1988, we are quite experienced, we are honest, fast and our rates are pretty good!
