Arizona Hard Money Lending Insights from a Local Lender
Phoenix, Arizona has been and continues to be a hot bed for real estate investors. According to Brett Tanner of Versara Capital, many people from different parts of the country have always migrated into Arizona rather than out of it. “If you look at the people coming in and out, there’s always more people coming into Arizona, and that is going to continue to happen,” he says. According to Versara Capital, Mariscopa County in specific, is the ideal environment for real estate investors and hard money lenders. “Mariscopa County has long been the county with more real estate transactions than any other county in the country,” Brett says. Brett also suggests that northern Central Phoenix is a hot market right now with a lot of rehab activity. Investors look for properties built in the 1970s to 1990s that have never been renovated and convert them into more modern homes. “They’re going to go in there and do all the deferred maintenance and make it new. And we see that in a lot of the markets throughout the valley,”Brett says.
In Arizona, the competition among lenders mirrors that of other states. There are small to medium-sized companies that lend using their own capital and assets, like Versara Capital, alongside larger companies with more complex processes that may result in longer processing times.
Another reason Arizona is a popular market for investors is the growth in job opportunities. Brett says, “There are tons of people in the job space, employers are coming in here creating jobs which creates opportunity.”

Funded Hard Money Loans in Arizona

Versara Capital, an asset-based hard money lender, funded a $459,000 1st lien position hard money loan for a single-family home in the Papago 77 neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ. We funded 100% of the $135,000 renovation budget and 80% of the $459,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 20% cash to the purchase at closing. The after-repair value was estimated at $665,000 so our loan-to-after-repair value was 56%. The Borrower had excellent credit. With several previous projects, they were given a loan based on their strong financial health and a solid exit strategy of selling post-rehab in a hot area. The subject property is approximately 2,146 square feet set on an 8,264 square-foot lot. Our financing strategy secured a 5-month, interest-only loan at a competitive 12% interest rate with 1 origination point, reflecting our bespoke, efficient lending solutions.
