The Incredible… Hard Money Loan

A local Mortgage Broker reached out to us about a client investor of hers who she couldn’t quite fit into loan approval bracket for conventional financing.

She was trying to purchase a rental in Petaluma which needed work – thus the loan qualification difficulties. We can do this loan!

We financed her with a short-term loan of $540,000 at a 59% loan to value.  Everyone was happy when the entire transaction completed in just 17 days – from start to finish!

We work with many loan Brokers and Realtors, as well as Borrowers, who want to take advantage of the many benefits of Hard Money.

Insurance Tips and Pitfalls

Househands If You Lived Through The Devastation Of The North Bay Fires Last October, You Are Painfully Aware That Your Insurance Premiums Are Much More Than A Necessary Evil.  Each Homeowner Has Experienced Their Own Heart-Breaking Story Of The Fire. Some Have Found That Their Insurance Company Was A Supportive And Helpful Advocate, While Others Have Experienced A Nightmare Dealing With Insurance Issues.  But It Doesn’t Necessarily Take A Major Disaster, Like A Fire, To Find Yourself With Insurance Woes.

If you lived through the devastation of the North Bay fires last October, you are painfully aware that your insurance premiums are much more than a necessary evil.  Each homeowner has experienced their own heart-breaking story of the fire. Some have found that their insurance company was a supportive and helpful advocate, while others have experienced a nightmare dealing with insurance issues.  But it doesn’t necessarily take a major disaster, like a fire, to find yourself with insurance woes.

It is imperative to stay in the good graces of your insurance company.  Performing regular maintenance, like clearing overhanging tree branches and checking for roofing problems, can help keep claims at a minimum.  An insurer considers one claim in nine or ten years as average, more than that and you are considered a risk.

Recently, there was an article in Realtor.com listing several reasons you could be dropped by your insurance firm, leaving you with unprotected property.  Knowing these, so you can be more at cause and not be caught off-guard, is smart:

  • An old roof
  • Too many claims
  • Insurer decides not to cover your area or state
  • Pets

It is equally important to complete a yearly policy check- up making sure you have enough coverage. The insurance lessons learned by the fire and flood victims of 2017 need not be repeated.

How To Maximize The Profit From The Sale Of Your Home

Valueofofyourhome Selling Your Home Can Prove To Be Either A Smooth Or Bumpy Process With Varying Rewards.  Two Keys To Ensure That Your Efforts Yield The Highest Price Possible Are:

Selling your home can prove to be either a smooth or bumpy process with varying rewards.  Two keys to ensure that your efforts yield the highest price possible are:

  • Price it a little low:  Statistically, it has been proven that property priced below Market Value encourages significantly more interest and higher selling prices than those priced above Market Value.  When examining this concept, it becomes clear that it is better to have multiple buyers fighting with each other over your home, than for you to be fighting with one buyer over the price.  Realtor.com advises: “Aim to price your property at or just below the going rate. Today’s buyers are highly informed, so if they sense they’re getting a deal, they’re likely to bid up a property that’s slightly underpriced, especially in areas with low inventory.” 
  • Use a Real Estate Professional:  Sellers may think they can improve their profit if they don’t pay a real estate commission,. But studies have shown that homes typically sell for more money when handled by a real estate professional.  Sales in 2017 suggest that the average price was almost 6% lower for FSBO sales of similar properties.

The “Take-Away” from this article:  To maximize the profit from the sale of your home, price your house at or slightly below the current market value and hire a professional.

Thinking Of Retiring Or Downsizing?

Spring 2 These Days It Appears That Many More Baby Boomers Are Reaching The Age Of Retirement, And Asking Themselves The Big Question: “To Move Or Not To Move?”  There Are Arguments To Be Made On Both Sides. With Low Availability Inventory For Smaller Scale Homes, Some Retirees Have Begun To Evaluate Their Present Home’s Ability To Meet Their Retirement Needs.  

These days it appears that many more baby boomers are reaching the age of retirement, and asking themselves the big question: “To move or not to move?”  There are arguments to be made on both sides. With low availability inventory for smaller scale homes, some retirees have begun to evaluate their present home’s ability to meet their retirement needs.  

Some of the more pertinent factors potential retirees will want to consider before making this major decision include the following:

  • AFFORDABILITY:  Consider the monthly costs, especially property taxes which can consume a large portion of the new budget.  Depending on where you move, you may or may not lose your Prop 13 benefit. In any event, you will still have insurance, utilities, and possibly HOA dues.  You might determine that paying for help to maintain you present home or to make mobility adjustments to your home, would be more affordable than actually moving.
  • EQUITY:  You may be able to tap into the equity in your present home, which would allow you to remodel your home making it “retirement friendly”.  Alternatively, if you opt to sell, the equity you have gained over the years may be enough to purchase your new home with little or no mortgage.
  • MAINTENANCE:  Do you want to continue doing all the chores your home requires as you age, or would paying an HOA to take care of those necessities offer you a welcomed relief?
  • SECURITY:  There can be a great sense of security living in a community with a gate house or resident-only access.  Any way you look at it, having an extra pair of eyes looking out for you always leads to peace of mind.
  • PETS:  Renting with a pet presents problems in today’s market. You will want to consider all the issues related to your pet’s safety and happiness when contemplating a move with your furry friend.
  • MOBILITY:  As much as no one wants to think of themselves dependent on a walker or wheelchair in the future, it should be a necessary consideration when planning ahead.
  • CONVENIENCE:  Some of the factors that will influence your decision will probably include proximity to hospitals/doctors, shopping, dining, and most importantly, grandchildren.

Hard Money – The Short Story

Fk What Is Hard Money? A Category Of Real Estate Loan Program, Usually Short Term, Fast And Used To Handle Whatever The Problem Was In The Profile Of The Borrower Or Property. The Problems Could Be Credit, Income, The Property Itself And/Or Simply The Need For Speed.

What is hard money? A category of real estate loan program, usually short term, fast and used to handle whatever the problem was in the profile of the Borrower or property. The problems could be credit, income, the property itself and/or simply the need for speed.

Hard Money is not money from a bank. The funds are from individuals that lend to make way more interest than they would otherwise. We have over 450 “investors” with money to lend.

Investors are mostly interested in the equity in the property which serves as the security for the loan. Most do not care about the credit score or how the borrower makes income.
Therefore the 2 qualifications for a Hard Money loan are….

1. Equity or decent down payment.

2. Ability to repay the loan.

Why Hard Money? – SPEED…… We did a loan for a couple who purchased right after the fires in October 2017. Their house burned down and they wanted to move quickly as they were displaced. Their credit was perfect, excellent incomes and a large down payment but did not want to wait to get a bank loan.

They also knew that an offer with a short escrow would be more attractive to a seller. Their Realtor offered a fair price and a 9-day close. This offer was chosen out of the many that were received!
