Hi,
I am in the process of put an 10 units apt under contract. It needs some work, can't get traditional commercial real estate loan. I am wondering if any hard money lender can do this type of deal. PM me please. Thanks.

@Peter Jin Why can't you fund this through a bank? Many small and regional banks in the Philadelphia area offer construction loans that would be a fit here. The fees are lower than alternative lenders as well. The only thing to be aware of is the fact many banks would have a construction to permanent component with a pre-payment penalty. In some instances, especially when bank construction financing is at WSJ Prime +1%, the total finance charges using a bank vs. alt lender who is more expensive on origination and rate but does not include a pre-payment penalty if you were to look to refinance even out or become a lot closer. Something to certainly take into consideration, but there is no reason why you can't finance this through a bank based on the facts provided.

Thanks. I thought construction loan are for group-up construction deals. Never thought about that. I work with PFCU and Trumark and other credit unions, they don't take the deal. Do you have local bank that you recommend? Thanks.

There is construction financing for renovations as well. Usually 75-80% LTC if through a bank, and perhaps slightly higher leverage through an alt lender. You are correct PFCU does not offer construction financing. However, they along with most Credit Unions are generally good banks to house your stabilized properties because the national charter which applies to many credit unions precludes them from being able to charge a pre-payment penalty which is a huge cost saver if and when you want to refinance. Trumark now does offer construction financing. A large team moved over to Trumark from HVB following the FCCB acquisition. They are building out the platform from the ground. I am coincidentally their guinea pig client and was the first to originate a construction loan on a 4 unit mix-use building towards the beginning of the year.

Hey Peter,
Is this your first CRE rehab?
I did some SFH and Duplex BRRRR deal. But it is my first CRE rehab deal.

How many 1-4 Resi deals? For competitive bridge loan terms you will definitely need heavy resi experience, or a few CRE deals under your belt.
