Home Loan Saved in Redwood City, CA

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

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.

Property Refinance in Mountain View California

1 A Local Mountain View Realtor Referred His Home Buyer To Me After They Had Exhausted Conventional Loan Programs. I Immediately Called The Buyers And Got Them Preapproved.

A local Mountain View realtor referred his home buyer to me after they had exhausted conventional loan programs. I immediately called the buyers and got them preapproved.

Because the Buyers were combining households, their debt did not qualify them for a 30 year jumbo fixed rate bank loan. They had found a dream home in Mountain View they had to have, and they were able to come up with a decent down payment.  Unfortunately due to debt, they could not qualify for a conventional loan.  This is where we came in! 

Sun Pacific Mortgage was able to fund this home loan of $555,000 for 12 months and close this deal on time.

Their real estate agent was very pleased because it happened so quickly and smoothly and, of course, the Buyers were equally excited to accomplish the purchase of their dream property in Mountain View!

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.

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.

Why Invest in Real Estate?

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.
