Hard Money Question
So I was speaking to a provider about SBA loan options for a small business i am starting. Its not real estate. He suggested I look at a hard money loan from a provider that he just started working with and the deal sounded almost too good to be true, but he sent over some paper work and its all in the contracts. But I am a bit concerned about the fee being paid to him which I think is high, but he says those numbers are non negotiable.
Servicing - 1mil for 5years
Broker gets -10% - 100,000
Referring party - 2pt -20k
Bank - 1% upfront to start the loan servicing.
The reason I am looking at this option is that it allows for interest only payments of 1% to be paid annually instead of a monthly payment.
Looking for some opinions on this deal, is the broker fee too high? Did anyone hear of these types of deals before?
