What Is Our Alternative Financing Really?

After 32 years, despite market changes and recent covid regulations, our two main lending qualifications have not changed and are still more forgiving than conventional or bank financing. These two basic qualifications are:

#1. Decent existing real estate equity or at least a 30% down payment if a purchase and

#2. An ability to repay the loan.

We have worked with many other Brokers and Realtors, helping to close more transactions and help make their clients happy! We can cover up to 65-75% of the value of the property. These 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 score borrowers, irregular or difficult to prove 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. Our unique financing is the only option out there if your client is unable to qualify for a loan from you, their favorite bank, mortgage broker or local Lender.

Many people have cards with rates that are 15% to 32% and Alternative Financing  rates average 9% to 12% with interest-only payments. This will likely cost a bit more than a 30-year fixed rate loan but it can get them what they want, despite having been turned down elsewhere for a refinance or home loan.

Also, if your Buyer or Borrower just misses out on qualifying for conventional financing, they could qualify for our Alt-A Special Program which offers rates as low as 6.5%!   

We invite you to look through our programs for exact details on how we can get you and/or your client fast loan approval!  Or call us at 707-523-2099. Having worked with many types of loan scenarios for over 3 decades, we are quite experienced, honest and FAST.

Loan of the Week

A Broker from Santa Clara reached out to us with a client who needed some fast funding.  He had to resolve some critical renovation issues with one of his Mountainview properties, relating to permitting fees and road work that needed to be done quickly.

Have Tax Questions About Selling Your Home?

Have Tax Questions About Selling Your Home

A recent article posted on Intuit’s Turbo Tax website addressed a series of questions and answers that every property seller should know before engaging in a real estate contract.

This is good information to be aware of, thus our sharing.  Providing answers to these questions is “out of bounds” for anyone without the proper legal credentials, which is why we are simply going to cite the post here and let the experts inform you of the regulations you should consider.

For those home owners in California who are considering moving from bigger cities such as San Francisco, Silicon Valley or even Los Angeles and want to settle down to more rural areas such as Sonoma County or even Napa County, this is some good information to know about when connecting up with your Realtor to sell.

Among the topics covered in this article are the following:

As you can see, answers to these questions can impact your tax obligations significantly.  They may either confirm your decision to sell or encourage you to wait.  Either way you will be making a more informed and sensible decision.

North Bay Area August Real Estate Report

North Bay Area August Real Estate Report

And we thought we had seen it all…but, no, there was more!  How about record-breaking heat, more fires, unhealthy air, and a pandemic?  Despite it all, the real estate market in Sonoma, Marin, and Napa counties have continued to thrive and even grow!

Here are the statistics for single family homes as recently reported in the Press Democrat, by local Realtor Jeff Schween, on September 13, 2020:

Sonoma County

New listings:  356 (down 25% from 2019)

Escrow openings:  585 (up 32% from 2019)

Closings:  534 (up 33% from 2019)

Homes for sale at end of August:  650 (down 43% from 2019)

Absorption rate:  82%

(Note:  Absorption rate is calculated by dividing the number of homes sold by the number of homes available at the end of the month)

Marin County

New listings:  198

Escrow openings: 247 (up 49%mfrom 2019)

Closings: 258

Homes for sale at end of August: 287 (28% down from 2019)

Absorption rate:  89% (one of the Bay Area’s hottest)

Napa County

New listings:  97 (down 38% from 2019)

Escrow openings: 173

Closings: 154

Homes for sale at end of August:  262

Absorption rate:  59% (this indicates an increase in values will follow)

The reasons for this healthy increase in the North Bay real estate market are probably three-fold:  more work-from-home opportunities, desirability of wine country, and more affordable housing than other local urban areas.

So, despite some of the disasters that have occurred in our northern counties, they still appeal to a myriad of homebuyers.  Sun Pacific Mortgage has seen an increase of borrowers who need a fast close for their property purchase.  The lack of inventory makes each escrow a sprint to the finish.  We have been known to finish many of our loans in as little as a week!  If you find yourself in a time crunch to close your deal, or just want to look better than the next guy when presenting your offer, give us a call at 707-523-2099.

Let The Experts Help Get You Loan Approval

Are you frustrated by not getting loan approval for a client?

Let us help!  We do not have any covid regulations and in fact, have only 2 main qualifications:

#1. If buying a property need 25-35% down payment of the purchase price. For any refinance, need good equity.

#2. An ability to repay the loan (source of income).

Loan of the Week

In business for over 32 years now, our Hard Money programs still have less restrictions and faster funding times than traditional lenders!  Give us a chance to help you and your clients, as we did for this Realtor and her Buyer:

A Realtor reached out to us with a client from Santa Clara, needing help with a refinance of $560,000.  Unfortunately, when already in Escrow, the lender who earlier gave loan approval backed out.   This particular client was looking to refinance his current home loan and take advantage of the 70% equity in his house.  He wanted to pull the needed cash out and buy an investment property to turn into a rental.

With considerably less restrictions and faster closing times, we made a Realtor and her Buyer very happy with the money in hand, in less than 12 days!

If you, a client or even a friend need fast financing or are looking to use their existing equity to make debt consolidations, upgrade a home or purchase additional property, give us a call at 707-523-2099. We’ll quickly reply with how we can help.

Santa Rosa Sees New Interest from Buyers

Santa Rosa Sees New Interest From Buyers

Santa Rosa Sees New Interest from Buyers

Local Sonoma County Realtor, Jeff Schween, published an article in the Press Democrat on August 16, 2020 summarizing today’s happenings in the Santa Rosa real estate market.  He says we are seeing a shift in affluency from larger metro markets to nearby suburbia.  In the past, buyers looking to relocate stayed near their current residence.  This does not appear to be the case during this pandemic.  He goes on to state some surprising data to support his observation.  Here are some statistics from the MLS used to substantiate the claim that Metro Bay Area has discovered Suburbia North Bay:

SANTA ROSA METRO REGION – JULY:

  • Active Listings: 324 single-family homes (11% less than July 2019)
  • Pending Contracts: 245 (45% increase over July 2019)
  • New Listings: 195
  • Completed Sales: 231 (38% increase over July 2019)
  • Months’ Supply of Inventory (MSI): 1.4 [Note: 4.0-6.0= balanced market]

Here was the summary breakdown by neighborhood:

NORTHEAST SANTA ROSA

  • Active Listings: 152
  • New Escrows: 95
  • Completed Sales: 93 (a record for this submarket)
  • MSI: 1.6

SOUTHEAST SANTA ROSA

  • Active Listings: 52
  • New Listings: 32 (26% less than July 2019)
  • Completed Sales: 37
  • MSI: 1.4

OAKMONT:

  • New Listings: 19
  • Active Listings: 55
  • New Escrows: 28
  • Completed Sales: 15
  • MSI: 3.7

NORTHWEST SANTA ROSA:

  • New Escrows: 59
  • Active Listings at end of July: 46
  • New Listings: 54
  • Completed Sales: 63
  • MSI: 0.7

SOUTHWEST SANTA ROSA:

  • Active Listings at end of July: 19
  • Completed Sales: 23
  • New Listings: 19
  • New Escrows: 27
  • MSI: 0.8

From this well-documented report on the activity in Santa Rosa in July, it is apparent that folks have discovered our “Paradise” and are actively looking to migrate North!

Good news/ Bad news:  we can look for home prices to rise and supply to be lower than preferred.

If you have been considering a change of scenery and live in any one of these coveted areas of Santa Rosa, now is the time to contact your real estate agent.  We are already seeing bidding wars in some areas.

If you are looking to buy but find yourself just short of meeting the restrictions of a conventional loan or need a quick close, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099.  We have been in business in Santa Rosa or 32 years and have maintained a sterling reputation based on our honesty and helpfulness.

Wildfires and Sonoma County Real Estate Market

Unnamed

While the fires have no doubt slowed real estate buying & selling activity in the North Bay for the time being, we know from past disaster experiences, that we can expect the market to tighten up.  With more demands for housing already existing within Sonoma County and surrounding regions – and the demands being placed on the market from those wishing to move into the area – we should see some intense home buying activity going into September!

Below are some statistics regarding the average price per square foot (psf) this month compared to last year as quoted in the recent issue of the Press Democrat:

  • Sonoma County:  $477 (7% up Med. Prop value- $700,000)
  • Sonoma Coast:  $597 (17% up)
  • Northwest S.R.: $412 (13% up)
  • Sonoma:  $692 (11% up and most expensive city in County)
  • Northeast S.R.: $429 (8% up)
  • East Petaluma: $414 (6% up)
  • Cotati & Rohnert Park: $389 (6% up)
  • Russian River:  $450 (4% up)
  • Windsor: $366 (3% up)
  • Healdsburg: $631 (no change)
  • Southwest S.R. $368 (no change)
  • Petaluma West: $453 (6% down)
  • Oakmont: $394 (6% down)
  • Sebastopol: $556 (7% down)
  • Cloverdale: $323 (10% down)
  • Southeast S.R.: $385 (23% down)

Having been through ups and downs in Sonoma County over the past several decades, we can safely predict the aftermath relative to the real estate market.  Going into this phase, we were already facing a dearth of inventory and the demand just continues to grow now with those who have lost homes in the fires or those who have decided not to rebuild but just buy another home elsewhere in this area.

For anyone thinking of selling this is the time!  For anyone looking to buy, you want to connect up with an experienced local Realtor and Lender to find out what you qualify for.  Then find a loan program to make your purchase offer stronger so yours can be accepted!  For example, consider shorter closing dates, possibly getting alternative financing such as a Hard Money loan so your loan condition can be shorter, etc.

Good luck!

Loan of the Week

A couple in Alameda County was facing foreclosure and sought our help to save their home.  The wife wasn’t working but the husband was self-employed with good, consistent income.  Unfortunately, they were having difficulty getting their current home loan refinanced despite visiting multiple other lenders.

Despite these circumstances that others were turning them away for, we were able to create a happy ending for them with one of our short-term Hard Money programs.  In just under 3 weeks, the refinance was complete for $682,000 with an LTV of 63% and the homeowners were happily underway repairing their credit!
