Funded Hard Money Loans in Miami Dade County
Capital Funding Financial, a direct lender, funded a $256,000 1st lien position hard money loan for the acquisition of a condominium in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami. We funded 65% of the $395,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 35% cash at closing. The Borrower needed to close the loan in just 7 days which we were able to accomplish. The subject property was in good condition (recently renovated) and vacant at closing. The Borrower is an experienced real estate investor who plans on renting the condo out to maximize the cash flow and will refinance into a long-term loan. They had average credit. The interest rate was 10.99%, and we charged 2% origination points. The loan term was set at 12 months. This hard money loan was funded in September 2023.
Hard Money Loan for Purchase of SFR Rental in Miami, Florida
$1,170,000
Capital Funding Financial, a direct lender based in Florida, funded a $1,170,000 1st lien position bridge loan for the acquisition of a recently renovated single-family home in Miami, Florida. The purchase price was $1,800,000. We funded 65% of the purchase price, and the Borrower contributed 35% cash at closing. The Borrower was a Brazilian foreign national with no US credit who needed to close in less than 10 days. His prior financing had fallen through and he did not want to risk his deposit. We were able to close the loan within the 10-day timeframe. The subject property was approximately 2,532 square feet. The Borrower intends to refinance the loan into a long-term rental loan once it is stabilized or there is a showing of short-term rental history. The interest rate charged was 10.99% and Capital Funding Financial charged 2% origination points. The broker earned a $11,700 (1%) commission. The loan term was set at 12 months. This SFR hard money loan was funded in August 2023.
Gelt Financial, a direct lender based in Palm Beach County, funded a $300,000 hard money loan secured by a single-family home in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami. The Borrower had recently purchased the property for $300,000 cash, so it was owned free-and-clear. We provided $150,000 just to recapitalize the Borrower, and the remaining $150,000 was held back for the renovation budget. We expect the after-repair value to be around $700,000 to $800,000. Most of the homes in this neighborhood are being torn down and redeveloped, but this home was just taken down to the studs. The Borrower had a horrible credit history, which made it difficult to get a loan from other lenders. We saw there was huge potential with the project and there was plenty of equity. The loan term is 12 months, and we expect to be paid off with a sale of the home. This hard money rehab loan was funded in December 2021.
