Creative Hard Money Lending for Real Estate Investors and Homeowners

Any LTV – but it depends on the deal!

  • Flip deals: we will lend 100% of the purchase price, sometimes more, sometimes less.  It depends on the “after repair value”, the comps, borrower experience, and square footage of the property.
  • Construction loans:  typical loan-to-cost ratios – if it is going to cost you $500k to build a house (construction budget), and the house will be worth $750k in value when you are done (because you already own the land), we will lend you no more than 80% of the cost to build (80% * $500k = $400,000), or no more than 60% of the final value (60% * $750k = $450,000), so we will lend $400k to $450k typically.  This is because in a construction loan, most lenders require that the land is paid for before they will lend money to build.  And since the land is usually about 20-30% of the cost of the entire property, that means the borrower has some equity in the property.

These formulas may change based on the location of the property, the type of the property, and the reputation of the builder.
