Private Money Mortgage Lending

December 14, 2021

Do You Know Your Loan Purpose Could Make Or Break Loan Approval

With the Real Estate boom we have experienced over the past couple of years, there is an increasing demand for real estate investments financing. One type of financing for investment properties may come from a private lender, and just like with a traditional lender, the Borrower agrees on a set interest rate and timeframe that they will pay the loan back. With Private Lenders, rates are generally higher and the loan period is shorter. These loans are secured by the property’s equity and if the Borrower fails to make payments on time, just as with a traditional loan, the property can be foreclosed on, and the Lender takes possession.

In most cases, a Private Money Lender will focus more on the value of the property and its potential for returns, rather than the Borrower’s income and/or net worth.

Here are some aspects of borrowing Private Money, also known as Hard Money:

  • Hard Money loans are meant to be short-term, temporary financing. This may be necessary because the Borrower needs a fast close, has difficulty proving income, or has a less than desirable FICO score.
  • The interest rates vary depending on several factors:  Loan To Value primarily then a bit relating to property condition, location, or risk.
  • Percentage points (fees to access funding) will vary but they are never up-front costs.  These are how the Broker is paid.
  • Additional fees include:  Escrow costs, appraisals, wire fees and other miscellaneous administrative fees.

When you are in need of a real estate loan, the following information will be required of you:

  • The Loan Application, also known as a 1003
  • Any signed Purchase Agreement or Copy of Mortgage statement
  • Property Insurance Quote/Insurer’s information
  • Something showing income (bank statement, W2, tax return, CPA letter, etc.)

Stated Income Loans from Sun Pacific Mortgage

December 7, 2021

Stated Income Loans

Experience has left a lot of us shuddering when we hear about mortgages based on “stated income.”  We remember the many Homeowners who fell into foreclosures and ended “upside down” in their mortgages largely because they were clearly unable to afford the mortgages they accepted.

Despite this, more recently one hears about the availability of “Stated Income” loans.  These can have multiple meanings and here at Sun Pacific, we want to be clear how our “stated loans financing” works:

Stated income loans from Private Investors are considerably more stable and credit worthy than the ones of a decade or so ago. We just require something showing income: this could be a CPA letter, employer letter, paystub, lease agreements, 3 months of bank statements, etc.  We also require proof that you, the Borrower, can repay the loan with income from available and stable source(s).

While other financial institutions require an excess of documentation to prove you do not exceed their debt-to-income ratios, need excess bank statements, tax return, etc. our company accepts a simple form of proof that verifies your ability to repay the proposed loan.  We do not have set debt-to-income ratios like majority of the other traditional and conventional entities.

Not having to provide boatloads of documentation makes the entire lending process less cumbersome and allows the loan to move through approvals much faster. For this reason, one can state their income, provide proof of such income and we can then often close a loan in less than a week.

If this sounds like a solution to your concerns, give us a call at 707-523-2099 to discuss a loan for your needs. Or visit our loan program page for Stated Income Loans by clicking here.

Loan of the Week

An Agent referred her Buyer to us for a needed refinance on their primary residence, as they were in contract to buy an Investment property in Santa Monica, but was turned down at the last moment by their conventional lender due to difficult to prove income as was self-employed.

As their primary home property was owned free and clear, providing a $710,000 loan amount was an easy private loan for us to get approved. Within 11 days it was funded, and both Buyer and referring Real Estate Agent were grateful that this loan hadn’t fallen through!

Real Estate Market for SFO October 2021

November 22, 2021

California Trust Deed Investing

Another stellar month for San Francisco real estate in October. Despite all the naysayers’ predictions that the market was on its way down, all markers indicate a continued upward trend. Here are the results for last month’s single-family residence in San Francisco:

  • Average List Price:  $2,093,971
  • Average Sales Price:  $2,358,448 ($2,131,959 in Sept.)
  • Average Sq. Ft. Price:  $1,093.37
  • Average D.O.M: 19
  • All Sold Properties:  709 (575 in Sept.)
  • SFR Sold:  303
    • 36 below price
    • 11 for listing price
    • 256 above listing price
  • One SFR sold for $1,506,248 OVER listing price

With the holidays approaching, we usually don’t expect many homes coming up for sale, but since it appears that we are constantly in new territory when it comes to the real estate market lately, we could see a significant reversal of the norm.

If you are looking to sell/buy anywhere in California, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099 to discuss the many lending programs we offer for purchasing, refinancing, and bridging on owner-occupied and investment properties.

Sonoma County Real Estate Sales

November 9, 2021

Sonoma County Coming Out On Top In Move North

Sales Comparison March 2020 – August 2021

On September 26th, an article in the Press Democrat quoted statistics sourced by Compass Real Estate Brokerage for single-family home sales over past six months of 2021.  These were compared to those same numbers for 2020.  They reveal what we all knew: real estate has been booming in our neck of the woods lately!  Here are the facts to support this well-known belief:

MONTH                          NUMBER OF HOMES SOLD     MEDIAN PRICE

March 2020                       301                                              $678,910

March 2021                       421                                              $767,000

April 2020                          249                                              $659,000

April 2021                          580                                              $775,000

May 2020                           206                                              $674,495

May 2021                           546                                              $780,000

June 2020                          457                                              $710,000

June 2021                          613                                              $825,000

July 2020                            606                                              $720,000

July 2021                            663                                              $761,000

August 2020                       556                                              $701,000

August 2021                       596                                              $770,000

While the momentum may have somewhat slowed in the past month, it is still on a robust course to smash past records.  The only thing putting the brakes on sales lately is the pervasive lack of inventory.  Some of this hesitancy on the part of Sellers may be because they are concerned that they will not be able to find a replacement home fast enough after selling their present home.

Sun Pacific Mortgage has a solution: a fast, short-term, private money bridge loan!  By accessing the equity in your home before you sell, you can afford a down payment on your future home.   You can also use existing equity in your current home and merge it with the equity in the new home you want to buy – also a Bridge loan that is short term and can help you accomplish a stronger purchase offer!  With homes selling quickly and with multiple offers over asking prices, this strategy will give you the edge you need in this economy.  Call Us at 707-523-2099 to see what we can do for you !

What Will This Fall Be Like in the Real Estate Market?

October 12, 2021

What Will This Fall Be Like In The Real Estate Market

According to many experts, the California real estate market, along with the weather, is expected to cool off somewhat in the Fall.

We are more likely to see something a little closer to normal, and yet the market is likely to stay highly competitive because there will still be many more buyers than sellers.  This does not mean that home prices will fall, but the expectation is that going into the end of the year, prices will rise a more modest 5%-6% as opposed to the 17.2% annual rise in April.

While more Bay Area homes are likely to go up for sale during this second half of the year, the influx won’t be nearly enough to put a dent in this housing shortage, but it may help curb the wild price growth.

Sonoma County on down to San Francisco and Peninsula markets, demand is forecasted to stay strong even though many buyers are frustrated or simply priced out of the market.  More millennials are hitting their home buying years, and because builders haven’t been able to ramp up construction to meet the population growth, resales will continue to experience a healthy growth.

One Realtor explained what we in California might be facing:

“Don’t expect deals in the fall if you are house hunting in the most desirable part of a market or competing for a particularly nice house.  Homes that stand out for one reason or another are still flying off the shelf.”

If you are hoping to buy or access your equity this fall, but have been turned down for a conventional mortgage, give Sun Pacific Mortgage a call at 707-523-2099.  Or visit our website at www.sunpacificmortgage.com. We have been helping folks just like you for over 33 years, and we look forward to pairing you up with one of our many private lenders who can make your dreams come true.
