Our loan to value ratios typically cap out between 60-65% of the value of a property, although we do have some programs that will go as high as 80-90% on short term purchases. Rates on our hard money loans can vary, but typically range from between 9% and 12.5%. Most of our loans are interest only loans, but we can also offer amortized loans so that you are paying both principal and interest should you desire. While the main criteria for our loans is based on the value of the property rather than credit, we do require a credit report in our file. With good credit we can potentially be a little more aggressive on the loan to value and/or the terms we are able to offer. With poor credit, we may be a little more conservative. Typically speaking, however, a credit score is not going to impact what we can do much – if at all.
California hard money loans are our specialty. We can help provide financing for both Northern and Southern California properties of all types. We only do hard money loans in California, and have the resources to get your project funded fast.
For our CA borrowers we can work with stated income situations, although we do want to know that there is the ability to repay and/or a strong exit strategy. We are in the business of helping our clients, not making loans that will end up needing foreclosure help.
