How does a real estate investor qualify for a hard money loan in Los Angeles?

Hard money loans are very useful for real estate investors in Los Angeles and throughout California. Typically, private money lending is utilized by investors who are either purchasing or refinancing a property that has too much deferred maintenance or is uninhabitable. Perhaps they have some past credit issues that the bank underwriters can’t overlook, or they may simply need to close on a deal in a time frame that is unrealistic for traditional financing. Whatever the circumstances may be, most hard money lenders utilize the “make sense” underwriting approach and focus primarily on the asset, not the borrower’s income or credit history.

To obtain a hard money loan you will need equity in a residential or commercial property, a business purpose nature to the transaction, and a realistic exit strategy. Most hard money lenders require that the borrower have at least 25% protective equity in the property. When a borrower has significant “skin in the game” or protective equity, it is less likely that he or she will walk from the project or property in the event of a market downturn, project cost overruns, etc.

Private Hard Money Lending Experts

Business purpose loans are typically defined as either a loan to acquire, maintain, or improve rental property, or working capital for an existing business. A business purpose loan is not for personal, family or household use, and is thus much easier to qualify for when compared to consumer purpose loans. Realistic exit strategies can include the sale of the subject property or another property in the borrower’s portfolio, a bank refinance after the property is stabilized and generating rental income, a cash infusion, etc.

Although any LA hard money lender will have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, they also have many advantages. First and foremost, the “hard money” lending industry has undergone fundamental changes in the last few years, with the industry becoming more mainstream. Private loans are simply much more cost effective than they have ever been, and obtaining a hard money loan can be much cheaper than taking on an equity partner.

Another significant advantage to taking out a hard money loan is speed. Most hard money lenders can typically underwrite and fund a loan in a matter of days, not weeks or months. Furthermore, the documentation required for qualifying purposes is minimal in comparison to banks.

Also, if a borrower has had a recent foreclosure, a bankruptcy, bad credit, late payments, etc., but has equity in a property, a hard money lender could be an option. Hard money lenders essentially allow non-bankable borrowers access to purchase money financing for real estate investments or access to cash from the equity in their property that would otherwise likely not be accessible.
