I'm seeking TRUE equity based lenders to lend on rehab projects throughout the nation. I'm looking for private lenders that base their lending decision on investment value and not financial documentation.

We normally work with private individuals that utilize their 401k's, IRA's, home equity line of credit etc. to fund deals and I'm looking for more people or institutions to work with.

We secure the loan with a first position mortgage at a loan to value no greater than 70% of the after repair value. Insurance is paid on the property of no less than the loan amount, with the lender named as the loss payee. In addition, we purchase the property under a Land Trust and sign a Conditional Assignment of Beneficial Interest to the lender base on the condition and terms of the note and mortgage. Depending on the length of the project most loans are paid in full within three to six months. If the lender requires a fix date to have the loan paid in full, we can accommodate that. We will always present the investment summary breakdown to the lender so that they can analyze the full scope and details of the project before they base their lending decision.

If there is anyone out there that may be interested or know of anyone that may be interested, please let me know. I will provide them with all the information and contracts utilize so they can review them with their attorney and/or accountant. I will also provide them with contact names and numbers to people who we have worked with in the past and present so they can contact them for further questioning.

It seems as if equity based lenders are becoming extinct and I'm just trying to get my hands on the few remaining or the few that would be interested in becoming one.



Carlos, we have had long conversations about this issue here on BG and, so far, we've found NO HARD MONEY LENDERS who lend strictly on the property. They ALL want good credit and DP in the deal.

The closest I've found to what you're seeking is Brookview Financial with just 5% down.


Real Estate Investor · New York


Yeah, they are sure hard to find especially if you are searching for a financial institute to do that. That is why try to look for private individuals. That is how most of my projects are funded.

I don't like putting down payments... especially if it comes out of my pocket.


Real Estate Investor · Altus, Oklahoma


Yeah good luck finding one and if you do pass it along to us.

I know they have been advertising fairly heavy on their new 5% down program, but I never really did any business with them.

Finding a HML that's strictly based on the deal is tough but not impossible. Be thinking private money and hedge funds for this. I've heard of a few and spoke with them but to date no clients have submitted deals.

Let me know if your still in need.


Real Estate Investor · Denver, Colorado


You have to go to the smaller people who are lending out of their own bank accounts.

Alternatively, providing lower risk deals to a more conventional hard money lender is also effective


Commercial Lender · Ocala, Florida


I haven't spoke with them for a while now, but there was a Company that still did Loans based on the ARV....it was for Rehab Projects.....might work.....

Hello everyone, I know how frustrating it is to engage a so called "equity or asset" lender, with great anticipation - only to become completely disappointed with their "bank-like" underwriting.

Although we are principals and national direct private lenders ourselves, we have, over the past 15 yrs developed other direct lending sources that we partner with in following areas/states to do hard money lending that DOES NOT require good credit, NOR does it always require DP.

DC, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North & South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

The loan process for this HM is FAST and EASY.

> Minimum credit score 400
> No seasoning requirement
> No upfront processing fees
> Minimal Documentation Required
> Combined Loan-to-Value to 105%

Loan Range = $100,000 to $1.5 M [up to 50% LTV] - AND most property types qualify. This funding is great for borrowers who require FAST closing (in as little as 2 days!) and/or have credit issues.

If interested, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks.

Yeah those programs are VERY Slim so we wanted to go a different route and try to get people biz loans. We found a program that can get $100,000 to $150,000 in credit lines for investors (even startups). These are not tied to personal credit so they don't care about your credit score.

(one client has 5 LLC's and he is getting the credit lines for each LLC)

Send me a message


Real Estate Investor · Altus, Oklahoma


Hey Clint send details of this program to the email in my sig.


Real Estate Investor · stamford, Connecticut


Have you considered structuring the debt differently?

take on an equity partner who will sign for debt...that partner esentialy becomes what you are looking for.

Hard Money Lender · West Palm Beach, Florida


Finance Solutions Of America LLC has recently introduced a funding program for professionally organized real estate funding transactions.

Foreclosures, REO's, short sales, and rehab financing are now readily available to anyone who can demonstrate expertise and have a project that makes sense.

No credit score required. Minimum interest rate is 11% and up.

Hard Money Loans are an asset based loan based on the collateral value of commercial real property. Typically, Hard Money Mortgage loans are funded fast, usually within two to three weeks. Credit is considered but is not the most important factor in making Hard Money loans. It's the collateral value that counts and most loans will not be higher than 60%-65% loan-to-value. The term of the Hard Money Loans are short, typically 12 months.

Email all of your contact information and we will send you complete details in return.

Clint - I'm interested in what you have to offer, too. Please send me an email. I have also sent you a collegue request.



There is one lender I know in California that has a great program. True equity only, no credit, no financials, just shared equity. Just have to scour the internet and find them. Very valuable lender.
