Deal Summary
Bench Equity, a direct lender for alternative loans, funded a $265,000 hard money loan in 1st lien position for the acquisition of a single-family residence in Denver, CO. We funded 81.5% of the $325,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 18.5% cash at closing. The Borrower was both an experienced investor and tradesman who enjoyed Bench Equity’s No-Points option which gave him the flexibility to borrow 81% of the purchase price with an interest-only rate that didn’t have points which penalized him for finishing the project too quickly. The option to only pay interest for the time he needed the money instead of paying it upfront in the form of origination points, allowed him to complete the rehab himself and enjoy bigger profit margins. The subject property was in poor condition and vacant at closing. The Borrower plans to sell the property upon completion of the rehab. The interest rate was 13%. The loan term was set at 6 months. This SFR hard money loan was funded in December 2022.
