Types Of Loans:
A commercial investor/rehabber can use a private loan as a lending tool for financing when he/she only plans on holding the investment property until the construction or rehab work has been completed and the property goes to sale. A construction loan will typically be disbursed in increments as a borrower needs funds to complete construction of the property. Once a property has been constructed and/or renovated and sold for a profit, the loan with the private lender is paid off in full or gradually in consideration of a private lender partially releasing some of the collateral. The typical maximum loan-to-value allowed on a subject property is 80% with disbursements made to a borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of a construction holdback agreement signed at closing.
A bridge loan is a short-term loan which acts as a “bridge” loan for a borrower who typically is in the process of refinancing between one conventional loan to another. A bridge loan is useful when a borrower needs financing for a short period of time where obtaining a long term conventional loan with a fixed rate doesn’t make sense (i.e. sale of the property is imminent) and in instances where there will be an extended period of time before a conventional lender is ready to close on a new loan. The typical maximum loan-to-value allowed on a subject property/collateral is 80%. Lenders will often require documentation that the property is under agreement to be sold or that a commitment letter has been issued from a conventional lender.
A private loan can be used to purchase real estate when a borrower fails to meet conventional bank standards or does not have time to wait for a conventional lender’s notoriously slow underwriting and closing process. Private loans for purchase allow for borrowers with low, bad or no credit to acquire property. The typical maximum loan-to-value allowed on a subject property not purchased at a foreclosure sale is 80%. Loan terms are from 1-2 years.
Cash-out refinances allow a borrower to extract equity from real estate already owned in order to get a “cash out” and/or to liquidize some capital. It is often a useful investment tool as it can quickly generate additional working capital for other projects. The typical maximum loan-to-value allowed on a subject property is 70%.
