Benefits of Unsecured Real-Estate Lines of Credit

619408978Unsecured real-estate lines of credit can offer many benefits to those who can qualify. With an unsecured line you don't risk your personal assets, and you save money over a standard loan. Above all with this type of loan you can close deals without having to wait on a lender, which can give you an edge over your competition.

Some refer to this type of loan as an acquisition line of credit. It allows you to acquire new investment properties without requiring you to pledge your personal or businesses property as collateral. Lenders secure this type of loan based on their perception of your strength as a borrower.

So qualifying for this type of loan will depend on your financial profile, be it your credit score, or the income you earn from your current investment properties. So if you can qualify for an unsecured line, it could be an excellent financing solution.

The main benefit of unsecured real-estate lines of credit is you can leverage your financial situation and strength as a borrower without putting your personal property at risk.

The main advantage of an unsecured line vs. a secured or equity line of credit is that your personal property is not used to secure the debt. Simply put, in the case of an unsecured line of credit, your lender cant repossesses your house should you default. Note that because this type of loan is unsecured, you need to be an exceptionally strong borrower to qualify.

However there are  fewer hassles with unsecured lines of credit, and the overall process can be a lot smoother.  Unsecured lines often come with little in the way of up-front fees, a sparse amount of documentation is needed, and no appraisal is necessary. 

With credit lines, you only spend what you need to and you pay back only what you spend. This aspect of credit lines is a significant advantage over a term loans, where you make interest payments on the full loan amount you borrow and pay back the entire loan amount.

After you qualify for an unsecured line of credit and your loan closes, you receive a lump sum which can then draw from whenever you need. You can make multiple offers on multiple properties using the same line of credit or use the funds to cover any other expenses.

Unsecured real-estate lines of credit offer you flexibility, you don't have to go to a lender every time you want to acquire a new property

Above all, you can spend the proceeds of your credit line at your leisure, and on any property you wish to purchase. With this type of loan, you don't need to apply for a new loan every time you want to make an offer on a property.  You don't need to wait around for your lender to scrutinize the details of your purchase, and you can make a full offer right way.

So if you can qualify an unsecured line of credit could be a great financing solution, which can help you rapidly acquire new properties while at the same time protecting your businesses assets.

If You Find Experienced Hard Money Lenders, You’ll Have an Easier Time Getting Your Loan Approved

When you are looking to get your loan application approved, working with professional and experienced hard money lenders will ensure a smooth process. Level 4 Funding offers the following tips to find the right lender.

In the world of loans, finding someone that has a reputable name and that you can trust can mean the difference between a smooth application and approval process and a… not so smooth one. When you are putting the fate of your potential new business or property in the hands of a lender, trust is never more important.

Do your due diligence before you sign on any dotted lines. Look for lenders that have experience in your specific niche, and that have testimonials or references they are willing to share with you. Look online or with the Better Business Bureau to see if you can find out anything about the hard money lenders that is not on their website. You want to make sure that the company has the professional experience to do what it takes to get you the best loan for your needs. This will ensure a smooth and easy transaction.

Give credit to the lender that thinks outside the box.

A fresh or different perspective on the way the loan should be done is always worth considering. If your hard money lenders are willing to get creative to get you the best loan, take that into consideration!

It’s not just about getting the best loan rates.

While rates and your repayment schedule are obviously very important, there are other things that are important too. Sometimes it’s true that you get what you pay for, and you want to make sure you feel good about the advice that your lender providing you with. Look for a local company that is available to speak with you and answer any questions until you feel comfortable with all aspects of the loan contract. Ultimately, it will come down to trust and your gut instinct. Oftentimes, just having a “good feeling” about someone is enough to make your decision about the right lender to get your loan with. The process should be a win-win situation for both the borrower and the lender and if you are both open and honest with one another, that is a great way to ensure the agreement is ideal for all parties involved. So depending on your needs, it’s not always experience, or a local company or fresh creative thinking that wins the day — it’s more about trust and who you really feel can get you the best loan for your needs. Level 4 Funding is a reputable and trustworthy company that would love to be your reliable hard money lenders. Level 4 agents are available for online live chats or give them a call to see how they can be of help to you as you navigate the sometimes unchartered waters of trying to obtain a loan.

How to find the right hard money lender for your next project

Just because you cant secure a traditional bank loan doesn't mean you don't have other options, you may have considered a hard money lender but where do you start? What should you expect from a potential lender, and what will a lender expect from you?

A quick google search for private lenders should turn up an endless array of financing options. Because you might need a specific type of lender to match your particular project an online search can prove to be a little overwhelming. You could always try to be more exact with your search terms, trying things like ‘private rehab loans,' or ‘private construction loans.' Being specific with your online searches may help you find the lender that is right for you, but this isn't always the case.

Consider using one numerous lender databases available online to narrow down your financing options. The ideal database would allow you to aim your search for lenders based on the amount of financing you need or will enable you to search for lenders based on your specific project, (i.e., Renovation, construction, commercial, etc).

If you'd rather avoid the hassle of searching for a lender on your own, you could seek out a referral from a licensed mortgage broker. Local real estate investment groups could also put you in touch with lenders they have worked with in the past.

If you find the right lender, the question then becomes what should expect from them and how do you know you're getting the best possible deal.

What should you expect from a potential hard money lender during the application process?

Search relevant government databases to ensure your lender is licensed. Your lender should also be transparent throughout the process. Ensure that they meet their published guidelines related to fees and closing costs. You should also be wary of teaser rates offered by unscrupulous lenders.

Know that every private lender is different and will have their criteria when it comes what they expect from you as a borrower.Ask your lender to be transparent about any documentation you might need throughout the loan application process.

Know what your hard money lender expects from you to get the best deal possible

This type of loan is often used to finance rehabilitation and construction projects.If your seeking financing for renovation or construction, a lender will want to ensure that you are competent and knowledgeable about your project. In these cases, before approaching any lender, have details about the property you wish to purchase, a budget for your renovations and thorough projections about the future profitability of your project. You build up your lenders confidence and gain room to negotiate by demonstrating your understanding of a project's potential.

You need to have a detailed understanding of what your property is worth to qualify for the best possible loan. A private lender usually bases the amount of financing offered on the market value of the property you are purchasing. You won't qualify the largest possible loan if you don't have a good sense of what your property is worth.

How to Think Like Hard Money Lenders

When you are seeking a private loan, it can be helpful to learn to think like hard money lenders do. This will help you to prepare for the process and to know which information will be critical to the decision to fund or reject your request.

When you are making your first request for hard money, it can appear to be a very odd change from completing the myriad of paperwork required by a traditional lender. It might even feel as though you are ill prepared for the meeting because you are not carting in piles of bank statements, credit reports and income statements. And if you are, then you are going to be surprised and embarrassed when your lender is less than impressed and wants nothing to do with all of your paperwork. Hard money lenders are a different breed and they are looking for completely different information to evaluate your request and determine if they will approved your loan.

The key to securing hard money is nailing the loan to value ratio. This is the ratio between the amount you are requesting and the current value of the property. Most hard money lenders are looking for an LTV of 65-75%. There are some lenders who will also consider the property’s after repair value as well but that is not a standard practice. With that in mind, those lenders will also want to see your business plan to renovate the property and your budget to make sure that the numbers are in line with their estimate for the renovated value of the property.

Know the Critical Term

Knowing that the loan to value ratio of the property is the key to getting a loan, you need to be certain that you have enough of a down payment to make the loan request fall into the desirable range for the lenders. Understand that the lender is protecting his or her investment by only lending up to 75% of the value of the property. In the event that you are unable to make your loan payments, the lender will need to take possession of the property and sell it to get their investment back. And the only way to be sure that they get their full investment back is to know that the property will always be worth more than the balance of the loan. Hard money lenders are not being unfair or trying to take advantage of borrowers, they are simply practicing good business and protecting their investment.

Think like a Lender

Understanding the lenders point of view will only help you to better prepare yourself for requesting a loan. Knowing that the most important factor is the LTV and not your credit score or credit history will save you a lot of time and paperwork. You can then invest that time into researching the current value of the property and procuring funding to make the down payment you will need to meet the LTV ratio. In addition, you can invest your time in creating your renovation schedule and budget to demonstrate that you will be quickly and efficiently adding value to the property as soon as you take possession of it. All of this information will help to ensure that your hard money request gets funded.

How to Raise Your Business Credit Score for Commercial Loans

Your business credit score will play a role in approval for commercial loans. If your business is just starting out, you might not have an impressive credit score, but there are things you can do to boost your credit score to avoid denial.

Credit score is reflection of your financial history and that means you want it to be great because it says a lot about your business’ credibility and stability. It also plays a part in getting approved for extra funding and is a good way to avoid having to pay higher interest rates or higher fees.

There are things you should do to boost your credit score. One of the easiest ways to do this is to always make payments on time to creditors. Making payments early will boost your credit score even more. Those with perfect credit scores are known for having a track record of making payment early. Start doing this sooner rather than later, the longer you do this, the better your score. You want to use your credit cards, this can help increase your credit score, but avoid hitting the maximum limit.

Keep in mind that public records will also play a role in your credit score on top of getting approved for commercial loans. Things filed like judgements, liens and bankruptcies are public record and could have a negative impact on your credit score. That means all of the hard work you have put in boosting your score could go down the drain. You want to avoid having anything financially wrong on your financial record.

Borrow from the right lenders, ones that actually report to credit bureaus.

It is okay to be picky when it comes to choosing the right lender. Commercial loans can boost your credit score but making payments on time, but they need to be reported to the credit bureaus. That is why you should always ask your lender beforehand if they report. Banks usually always report, but it is not a requirement for lenders to do so.

Building a better credit score has its many benefits.

Having a good credit score will help with many things like lower interest rates on commercial loans or credit cards. Plus, you will usually be able to come to better terms with supplies, attract new customers and establish a good reputation with existing customers. Of course, credit scores can be calculated in a variety of ways and can vary, but always try to keep as up to date as you can on your current credit score.
