Investing In Real Estate Brings Good Return

May 1, 2017

Reasons Why You Should Invest Your Money In Real Estate According To A Attom Data Solutions Recent Report, Real Estate Flips Prove To Be A Lucrative Market For Investors In 2016.  There Were 193,009 Single-Family Homes And Condos Bought And Resold Within A 12-Month Period, A New Record.  Low Inventory And Investors Looking For A Safe Haven For Their Money Seem To Be The Catalyst For The Flipping Activity And Resultant Returns.

According to a ATTOM Data Solutions recent report, real estate flips prove to be a lucrative market for investors in 2016.  There were 193,009 single-family homes and condos bought and resold within a 12-month period, a new record.  Low inventory and investors looking for a safe haven for their money seem to be the catalyst for the flipping activity and resultant returns.

There were 11 U.S. markets where flippers realized a six-figure profit, and six of them were in California.  San Jose was the most lucrative market for flippers in 2016, averaging a profit of $145,750.  San Francisco was the second-highest flipping profits with $140,000.  These averages were very close to the ones in 2015 for the Bay Area.

Properties that need substantial renovations are more difficult to qualify for a conventional loan.  This is where hard money loans come to the rescue.  Investors in these loans stand to make a quick profit when the buyer completes the work and resells usually within 12 months.

Sun Pacific Mortgage & Real Estate, a family owned and operated hard money business, has been lending to Investors and home buyers in California for more than 29 years.  We invite you to join our investor family and enjoy some healthy financial growth.

5 Day RUSH Loan Funding for Condo in Sacramento

April 21, 2017

Sacramento Last Month A Conventional Lender Called Us On Behalf Of One Of Their Borrowers Who Had Just Been Turned Down For A Conventional Loan, 3 Weeks Into Their 4 Week Purchase Agreement For A Condo In Sacramento.  To Say The Least, The Home Buyer Was Distressed And A Bit Hopeless.

Last month a Conventional Lender called us on behalf of one of their borrowers who had just been turned down for a conventional loan, 3 weeks into their 4 week purchase agreement for a condo in Sacramento.  To say the least, the home buyer was distressed and a bit hopeless.

The purchase price was $285,000 and the home buyer only had a 20% down payment to apply to their loan, making the loan-to-value 80%.  Luckily, this is the max LTV that our private investors will approve.  

So, we got right to it and within 5 days of the  initial call, the loan funded and recorded!  We turned the distressed and hopeless borrower into a very happy and proud home owner, keys in hand.

The Conventional Lender was grateful that we could rescue this opportunity and it became a win-win for all involved.

What Are Homeowners’ Biggest Concerns?

April 20, 2017

Pic Buying A Home In California Is One Of The Biggest Purchases We Will Most Likely Make In Our Lifetime.

Buying a home in California is one of the biggest purchases we will most likely make in our lifetime.

There was a good article recently from Pacific Union about homebuying (see link below).

This experience is a major investment in time, money, and emotions.  The process can definitely be intimidating for first time home buyers, particularly.

And the anxiety doesn’t end when the papers are signed.  There are worries that plague every homeowner even after the keys have been delivered.  Here are some helpful tips to benefit new homeowners in today’s market:

1. Being “House Poor”:

This is a situation where the person is paying a large amount of their total income just to maintain the roof over their head.  These people have little discretionary income and might even find it difficult to cover other financial obligations.  Knowing what your budget can afford before beginning your house hunt will prevent you from falling into this trap.

2. Not Understanding Escrow, Mortgage, and Taxes:

Real estate terms and procedures can be very confusing for the uninitiated.  Having your agent and/or broker explain terms and processes in laymen’s terms is critical if you are to feel confident making this major decision.

3. Unexpected Expensive Home Projects:

No one expects to be buying a “money pit”, but if a home inspection does not reveal a potential problem, the buyer needs to be prepared to pay for the repairs.  For this reason it is mandatory to review disclosures and pest reports so you can plan.

4. New Neighborhood and Neighbors:

Do your homework before you move in.  Take a few tests runs at various times of the day and night to get a feel for commute times and any environmental issues, like noise.  Get to know your neighbors. They can be a great source of information regarding service providers.

Worrying and anxiety over a home purchase in California does not necessarily indicate regrets, even though studies have shown that half of home buyers would change some aspect of their buying experience.  In the end homeownership is very exciting and few regret their decision to embark on this adventure.

If you are looking to purchase a home in San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles County, Santa Rosa, or other areas in California, consider our Hard Money loan programs as an alternative financing option. Call for a free consultation today, (707) 523-2099.

Home Loan Saved in Redwood City, CA

April 14, 2017

Redwoodcity Last Month I Received A Call From A Borrower In Redwood City Whose Parents Had Recently Passed Away.  They Had A Reverse Mortgage And He Was Given Only A Few Months To Pay This Off Or Lose The House.  Needless To Say, This Was A Stressful Time For The Caller.  

Last month I received a call from a borrower in Redwood City whose parents had recently passed away.  They had a reverse mortgage and he was given only a few months to pay this off or lose the house.  Needless to say, this was a stressful time for the caller.  

Because of credit issues created by many medical expenses, the borrower did not qualify for a conventional loan.   One of his friends had done business with me in the past and suggested he call our office.

By the time we received the call,  we had only a couple of weeks before the house would go into foreclosure.  Our office was able to acquire all the necessary documentation needed for the loan, obtain approval, get it funded and closed.

The loan amount needed was $600,000 which was about 70% loan to value.  The borrowers were able to pay off the reverse mortgage, all the existing medical debts as well as other debts that had negatively impacted their credit.  All their financial stress was eliminated and they were able to save their childhood home!

We specialize in loans that have been turned down elsewhere due to credit issues, difficult to prove income, or property condition.   We promise our clients that if we say it can be done, we’ll get it done!

1 The National Association Of Realtors (Nar) Recently Reported That The Top 10 Dates Sellers Listed Their Homes In 2016 Were Mostly All In April, May Or June.  If You Are Considering Taking Advantage Of This “Real Estate Season”, It Is Time To Examine Your Best Mortgage Options.  

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently reported that the top 10 dates Sellers listed their homes in 2016 were mostly all in April, May or June.  If you are considering taking advantage of this “real estate season”, it is time to examine your best mortgage options.  

If you should find yourself in a situation where you stumble on your dream home, but have not sold your present one, fear not, a Bridge Loan can rescue you (https://www.sunpacificmortgage.com//blogs/bridge-loan-beneficial/).

This loan option is often preferred over a contingency offer, especially in a hot real estate market.  With a Bridge Loan the buyer can make a clean offer assuring the seller he has a firm commitment to the deal.  Bridge Loans are short term loans usually of 12 months.  This type of loan usually gets paid off with longer-term financing sometime in the near future, or from the sale of the prior property.  As the name implies, it provides a “bridge” from one transaction to the next.

At Sun Pacific Mortgage and Real Estate we have executed many of these loans and funded many a transaction from the “dead deal” pile.  Give us call at 707-523-2099 to explore the ways we may assist you with your next real estate deal.

Hard Money Loan Tutorial

March 29, 2017

Approved When You Apply For A Conventional Loan, Lenders Are Very Interested In Your Credit Scores And Your Income.  If You Have A Solid History Of Repaying Your Debts And Your Debt To Income Ratio Is Acceptable, You Will Be Approved For The Loan.When you apply for a conventional loan, Lenders are very interested in your credit scores and your income.  If you have a solid history of repaying your debts and your debt to income ratio is acceptable, you will be approved for the loan.

Applying for this type of loan can be an unpleasant experience.  The process can be painfully slow, and, if you have negative items on your credit report or your income is difficult to prove, you might never get approved.

Hard Money Lenders approach the lending business from a different angle.  We are more concerned with the collateral securing the loan.  The property values are more important than a negative on your credit report. Generally, hard money loans are short-term loans lasting one to five years.  In many cases this gives the borrower time to qualify for a conventional loan at a better interest rate.

Why Use Hard Money?

Some of the more significant benefits of using a hard money loan are:

Speed:  Hard Money Lenders are more concerned with collateral and, therefore, are less likely to allow credit issues to hold up the process.

Flexibility:  Hard Money Lenders evaluate each deal individually and are not subject to the very regulated underwriting process.  Individual Lenders are able to tweak a deal to make it more acceptable to the Borrower.

Approval:  As long as a Lender is confident that the property values are good and this would allow one of his Private Investors to quickly recoup their money, should the Borrower default, approvals are much easier to obtain than conventional loans.

When Does Hard Money Make Sense?

Difficultly proving income and loans requiring a fast close are examples of problems that can be solved by a hard money loan. This type of financing is also beneficial for short term loans such as fix-and-flips or when a Bridge Loan is the only way to secure a property before selling another property.  

If you are considering a hard money loan, Sun Pacific Mortgage would be happy to help!  Call us at 707-523-2099 and within just a couple of minutes we can prequalify you.
