Just had lunch with two colleagues in the real estate mortgage business - they wanted to tell me about some new private funding resources for real estate loans that they could make available to my clients. Let me share with you a quick summary about the products they have to offer.One product is a "soft-money" mortgage focused on the California market that is historically served by "hard-money" lenders. This private money product provides first trust deeds only on most real estate types including residential, apartments, commercial, industrial, special purpose properties and entitled land. Loan amounts range from $500 thousand to $10 million (larger on an exception basis). Advance rates for these bridge loans (up to 18 months) range from 50% to a maximum of 75% which varies by property type. Interest rates for improved property are currently 9.90% and many of these deals can close in a week or less.
Their newest private money offering for real estate mortgage business allows them to finance properties outside of the California market as well as un-entitled land, hotels, condo conversions, and construction loans. While the interest rates will be a bit higher, I expect this private money offering to be very competitive when compared to traditional "hard money" loans. Besides, this money is also intended to be a "bridge" loan - hopefully, it is replaced with a more cost effective solution within a year or two. By the way, this private money source will provide second trust deed financing for the same property types.
