i Fund Cities, an alternative lending platform built for investors, funded a $700K hard money refinance for a single-family rehab project in a vacation area of Sarasota, Florida. This client found our great reviews online and gave us a call! The investor had received previous loans on this project through other lenders. Unfortunately, he ran into some issues and needed to refinance to gain additional funds. First, due to a mistake, his original lender made on the property insurance post-closing, the investor could not get a draw completed and had to come out of pocket roughly $100K before refinancing. Then, on the refi, that lender told him right before closing that the numbers had changed, and they were not sure they could close the loan. That’s when he came to us.
We quickly put him into a bridge loan to increase his holdback amount since his budget had increased. We also gave him an initial draw for all of the money he had already put into the deal. So the client received a new loan with an increased budget, along with reimbursement for all of the funds he already had invested into the project. He received all of this quickly and efficiently while having the confidence to work with a lender he knew would actually be able to close. The loan term was set at 12 months. The plan is to complete the renovations, secure a tenant and then refinance into a long-term loan. This hard money loan was funded in August 2022.
Hard Money Loan for Central Florida Automotive Property Purchase
$100,000
Gelt Financial, a direct hard money lender based in South Florida, funded a $100K hard money loan for the purchase of an automotive light industrial property in Winter Haven, FL. The Borrower had worked at an auto body shop for over 20 years and wanted to start his own business. He found a local auto repair shop that went up for sale for $200,000. He was able to get half of the purchase money from his family members, and we funded the rest. Our 1st mortgage was a very conservative 50% LTV, so we did not require an appraisal. Since it was a new business, there was no verifiable income yet, but the Borrower had lots of experience. He quickly repurposed the auto repair shop for his new auto body business to start generating income. The mortgage broker who brought us the deal will help the Borrower get a long-term SBA loan within the next 24 months. This hard money loan was funded in June 2021.
