Our last meeting was awesome….all about funding…

Chris Coute with Brownstone RG covered funding.  The recap is as follows…

The main types of funding include self/partner funding, hard money, bank financing, and private money.

Hard money – structure is points and interest, rates are 3-6 points, 12-16 percent interest, LTV 60-70 percent, typically debt financing with draws, timing to receive funds 2-4 weeks, quick turn around, based on the merit of the deal, personal credit score or income not a factor.  

Bank financing – structure is points and interest, rates are 1-3 points, 4-6 percent interest, LTV 60-70 percent, typically debt financing with draws, timing to receive funds 60 plus days longest turn around, project must fit strict bank underwriting criteria , personal credit score and income are a factor.

Private money –  structure is points and interest, rates are 1-4 points, 6-12 percent interest, LTV at lender’s discretion, typically debt financing with draws, timing to receive funds 1-2 weeks, usually the fastest turn around, relationship and deal based, personal credit score or income generally not a factor.

Creative financing can also come into play. For example, you can find a partner with down payment funds, invest through self directed ira’s, provide collatoral to lender for better terms, owner financing or subject to the existing mortgage.
