Foreign nationals eligible
6% seller contributions allowed
Just 35% down payment required
Appraisal required and property must appraise for at least the sales price of the home (will consider physically distressed homes, but no burnouts)

Unfortunately WI is on the list of "not eligible" however just thought I'd throw this out there. I am not affiliated with the company in any way.

Hello BP colleagues...I think I am going to try to one of their programs - 11% refi/home equity loan on property I am rehabbing.   It's 11%, plus a couple points and setup fee.  Not cheap but gets me from point A to point B more quickly.   I'll let everyone know how the experience goes.

Thanks,

Dave

    They registered their capital raise properly with the SEC, which is a good sign. I see they have some media articles which talk about what seems to be initial capital funding of $1.0 Million. Their SEC exemption claims they may raise up to $40 Million.

    If they only have $1.0 Million, they might have a little trouble meeting the needs of an influx of a bunch of investors seeking funds.

    I don't know what their interest rate is on that 5 year loan, but it sounds like if you have 35% down, this might be a good investment tool.

    Note that they have a $1,495 "loan set up fee". Seems a little high, but understandable.

    I emailed them and the rate is 18%.

    Ouch! 18% is pretty painful!

    Here's the full deal, so not only 18% interest, but also 3 points and $1495 set up, as you stated. This is pure HML (no credit check) for a 5-year fully amortizing term, so the terms are not out of line with the market. It's actually quite possible to break even on CF during the loan term on inexpensive houses in many markets, and then the property would be owned F&C at that point. So taking the long view of buying more properties now at low prices, versus not being able to buy property at all, then it makes sense for those who can't qualify for bank loans, or don't have a bank that will even lend on these inexpensive properties, and don't have access to friends/family money.

    • 65% LTV, min loan size $20K
    • Purchase loans only (no refinances)
    • 5 year fully amortizing
    • 18% Interest Rate
    • 3 points based on loan amount (Can be rolled into loan)
    • $1,495 loan set up (can be rolled into loan)
    • $450 doc prep/closing fee (paid at closing)
    • $420 appraisal fee (collected at time you provide contract and signed loan application)
    • No Pre-pay penalty, no balloon payment, no credit check

    @David Beard
    When you say this 65% LTV on this program....is the 65% on the purchase price or the ARV number?

    If you bought a house for 65K, valued at 100K how much would this lender be willing to lend? Do you need to bring 35K of your own $$$?

    Maybe a better example would be bought at 55K, expect 10K in repairs for an ARV of 100K.

    Thanks for your time

    @Chris Haas - from their site:

    Q: Do you provide rehab financing?

    A: No, at least not directly. Our purchase financing is intended to allow you to reserve a portion of your funds to improve the property.

    @David Beard

    My questions more of a general one. Generally when you see LTV 65% etc, that would normally mean you Mr. Investor need to bring 35% of your own skin in the game?

    The reason I ask, is I had someone tell me recently that they had several (not a single) private money lenders not HML that would lend 100% of the purchase price because they use a formula of offer 70% of ARV - rehab costs. So their theory was the lender was protected since they have 30%+ equity based on the deal and 1st lien position. I'm still new but I found this a bit hard to believe.

    Again, thanks for your time

    5 years fully amortized at 18% is going to be a pretty stiff monthly payment ... better have some good reserves.

    IMHO hard $ lenders are loan sharks. do a home equity line of credit if you can...interest only for 10 years w/ 5th 3rd bank & don't pay an appraisal. if you don't hit your #, you don't pay anything (you will have a ding on your credit search though). it's 85% LTV which is awesome. prime plus 2%. annual fee after 1 year of $65. cheapest $ out there.

    I have current mortgages with them.  If you invest like me and you have maxed out your Fannie Mae's, they are a great option for flipping.  They also now offer a 10 YR option with Rehab money from equity.  They are a pleasure to deal with, they are responsive and can close you within a week.  They also fund nationwide and they do remember loyalty and will cut existing on time paying customer breaks.  I wish they would have been around in the hay day, but they are lending on a huntch, when other lenders are slamming the door on speculation purchasing.  The higher interest rate is because they are taking a HUGE risk in a down turned economy.  We are all in it for the money and so are they.

     I've been getting emails from them that they are offering 30 years at 14% or something like that.  Sounds pretty pricey.

    @Kevin Fontleroy - any feedback how it went with Visio and who type of rates were offered? Would you recommend them?

    @jc hey we are still in the process. Had a hiccup with the appraisal. Miscommunication led to the appraiser coming too early and we weren't ready. Long story short very low appraisal. We have the reappraisal taking place soon. Will update from there. They are definitely patient because this process has been crazy
