California Private Money Construction Loans

California private money financing can be used for a variety of business purpose such as new construction or remodeling/updating your current commercial property. So let’s go over a few important details when it comes to using private financing for construction loans.

California private money construction loans are generally the way to go when your new business venture is one of construction or remodeling. It is the way to go because, as anyone in the commercial real estate business will tell you traditional financing avenues are less likely to approve loans for construction purpose. This somewhat reason change in lending doesn’t mean that California private money construction loans are instantly approved but rather that non-bank lenders are willing to fund these kinds of loans if they meet the necessary requirements.

Therefore, when dealing with these lenders, it is important to keep in mind several key factors that have the ability to make or break your new construction or remodeling funding. One key factor, in particular, that you should make note is your desired location for your project or if you are remodeling an existing commercial property make note of the actual benefit of the upgrades to your business. Remember, your lender has to be comfortable with what you are using, in essence, their money for.

Another important key factor here is the overall process of the construction i.e. the actual draw process of your builder, if applicable to your situation. In other words, if your lender is insisting that the builder is paid via the title company—you need to understand how that process works. You also need to understand California state lien laws. Similarly, it is important to know where your lender stands in regard to the lot cost/lien when dealing with new construction.

Other Things to Consider

Unsurprisingly, other things you should be considering are your potential lender’s down payment requirements. As you are more likely already aware of, there are state regulations that affect your lender’s requirements, rates and fees. But, with that being said, there is a wealth of non-bank lenders, especially in California. Consequently, as long as non-bank lenders abide by the set state regulations, there is still some wiggle room i.e. lenders rates can still vary as long as they do not exceed a certain percent amount. So be clear on what you need as well as how much of a deposit you are able to come up with and do not forget to do your research so you are clear on general terms/fees.

New Construction Dreams come true

Ultimately, if you are prepared and keep in mind the above-mentioned important key factors, getting approved for non-bank funded construction loan should not be extremely difficult. Lastly, if your project calls for more than one construction loan as in the case of real estate development projects do not be discouraged many non-bank lenders are willing to work with you and allow you to have more than one active loan at a time.
