Why some hard money lenders in Texas will turn you away

When Casey moved to Texas, he had dreams of making a name for himself in the real estate industry. He quickly realized it was not as easy as the shows on Bravo make it look. Hard money lenders in Texas are not the only ones that are on the chopping block when it comes to loaning money.

If you have been following Level 4 Funding for a while, you probably have read a few times that it is fairly easy to borrow a hard money loan. This is true, for the most part, when you are looking for a potential lender you are free to pick and choose who you want to borrow from. If a certain lender is offering an interest rate that is out of your range, then find another. If the lender you are talking to is not willing to lend you the money are seeking, you do not have to work with them.

For some borrowers, like Casey, the lender may turn you away if they feel the property is not going to return their money. There are usually certain standards that hard money lenders in Texas look for when they are considering lending someone money for a property.

Someone that is playing to win

The real estate business can be extremely unforgiving if you are not prepared and careful when you are looking at properties. Many lenders will not lend to you if you are not risking anything for the investment. Most lenders expect you to pay a large enough down payment on what you plan to purchase.

This is a sign of good faith that you are willing to stick your neck out for the property so you can recoup your money. In Casey’s situation, he was not willing to put a large enough amount that would suffice the risk that the lender was taking. He could have gotten another person to invest with him, but this was his first property. The down payment was the least of his problems.

When in doubt know, your way out

Most people that get into the business try to look for homes that will have a higher resale value during closing. When experienced investors are looking for a property they can flip for a profit, they make sure they have a plan to pay back the loan if all else fails. Hard money lenders in Texas look for borrowers that have an exit strategy if the property fails to make a positive return.

Casey did not think of this when he was planning on purchasing the derelict duplex in a fairly rough neighborhood. Since many people were moving out and Casey did not have enough money to buy the rest of the city block, it was unlikely the building would have a positive return.

Setting yourself up for success counts in real estate

Planning accordingly with allow you to seek out any lender you choose. For Casey being new to Texas and not knowing how things worked he ultimately failed. Take a page from Casey’s book and remember this: do not be like Casey. Take the extra hour to look up potential investors, and forget about being frugal when it comes to a down payment.

Process for Obtaining Commercial Loans

There is really no shortcut when you are seeking commercial loans. But following a tried and true process can help to expedite the response to your application.

Most borrowers fail to understand that a great deal of the success or failure of their commercial loan application rests on their amount of effort in preparation. There is a huge amount of research and due diligence that a borrower must invest in the process in order to be successful when applying for commercial loans. Understanding the loan application process, the desires of specific lenders and their loan approval criteria are all very important and should be researched long before you begin to search for a commercial property to purchase.

Many borrowers are in awe of commercial lenders and fail to see them as a business partner or vendor. They get too caught up in the “bank” aspect and feel as if they are being judged. The lender is making a judgement but only from the perspective that they want to verify that you can afford the loan. They are just making smart business decisions. In that vein, you should also be making smart decisions about who you are interested in borrowing from. There are many options for commercial loans which you should explore including large national banks, medium sized regional banks, a small local bank, a private lender or a mortgage company just to name a few. If you are not familiar with any major lenders or to gain information about your options, begin with a meeting at your current bank to learn about their commercial loan products.

Each lender is going to have a slightly different set of criteria for approving a loan. Learning these requirements can help you to determine which lenders you will actually apply to. Set up a few appointments to speak to loan officers to learn about the lenders and what they have to offer you. Be prepared to discuss your business, the reason you are requesting a loan and how you plan to meet the financial responsibility of repaying the loan. These conversations can glean some very helpful free advice for you from seasoned lending professionals.

Select Lenders Who Best Meet Your Needs

Not all lenders are going to be a great fit for you or even a fit at all. If you are looking for a small loan then a national bank might not be interested in your application. Likewise, if you are seeking a very large loan, then a small local bank might not be your best choice. Try to determine which lenders specialize in the type of commercial loans that you are seeking and then apply only to those lenders. There are costs involved in commercial loan applications as well as a commitment of time. Don’t waste either by applying to a lender who will not be interested in your business.

Make a Great First Impression

Other than a brief introductory meeting, your loan application will be your first contact with many lenders. This is your only opportunity to create a positive and professional first impression. Invest all of the time that you need to research your options and the criteria that each lender uses to evaluate loan applications. Only then should you begin to compile your documentation and complete the loan application. This dedication to completing a high quality loan application and documentation packet will pay great dividends when you learn that you have multiple loan offers at very competitive rates.

How Short Term Commercial Loans Can Help Your Business Dreams Come True

Can you really take your business to the next level? You can with the help of commercial loans to help you finance the next phase of your company, and Level 4 Funding explains how.

If you need cash fast to put a down payment on a property for a new location, for example, short-term commercial loans are the perfect option. Unlike conventional bank loans that typically have five- to ten-year terms, short-terms are defined by shorter repayment schedules that are designed to be paid off in between three months to three years. Usually these loans have higher approval rates than long-term loans, and can be paid in smaller daily or weekly payments versus a monthly lump sum. Ensure you can manage the daily or weekly payments prior to agreeing on the terms of this loan.

Short-term commercial loans are great for businesses because they are typically approved a lot quicker, which means you get cash in hand quicker in comparison to a conventional lender application and approval process. New businesses can get approved for these loans, which can actually make it easier for them to get approval for long-term or more traditional loans in the future. Prior loans — and proof of paying them off — give lenders peace of mind that you can pay off a loan.

Short-terms are also easier for new businesses to get approval or for companies that haven’t yet established a business credit history. Once credit history is established with a short-term loan that is another way to help future loan approvals from traditional banks. Usually lenders specializing in shot-term loans do not require a minimum on credit score as conventional lenders typically do, especially for long-term loans.

One of the best benefits of short-term commercial loans is that their approval time is fast – which means you can get your funding fast.

With these loans, businesses can receive their cash advance in just 24 hours, give or take. This is important for many reasons as a company is looking to expand, but it can also be just the thing a business needs if they are cash-tight and need to handle payroll or pay their vendors. Fast cash is one of the reasons short terms are so desirable for new and expanding businesses that are having growing pains or “tight” times.

It’s important to know that while there are many benefits to short terms, there are some disadvantages to be aware of, too.

While these short terms are very helpful to businesses, there are some drawbacks. For example, the annual percentage rate tends to be much higher with loans like this than the APR of conventional loans because the amount of time the loanee has to pay back the loan amount is much shorter. While there are very short reschedule periods of three to six months, it might be more reasonable to negotiate a (relatively) longer payment schedule up to three years. There are also lender fees and other costs that may be associated with short terms so it’s important to know what those are before you proceed.

Alternative Ideas for Helping You Obtain Commercial Loans Through a Broker



Why should you seek an alternative lender for your commercial loans? There are many benefits to going this route — Level 4 Funding explains them here, so read on.

You may think you’re alone if you’ve been rejected for a loan before or if you don’t have the requirements to seek a traditional loan. But there are lots of alternative ways to get approval for commercial loans. Even if you have a few bad marks on your credit history or not the highest credit score, or if it’s a matter to a tough economy making conservative banks tighten their wallets even more than usual, that doesn’t mean you aren’t destined to let a loan. Seeking other loans like short-term or hard money loan are good alternatives. If you talk to a broker about these options, they can help you get the best loan for your needs.

There are some differences between traditional long term commercial loans and short-term and hard money loans. First of all, these types of loans don’t typically require such a lengthy and strict application process, “red tape” and bureaucracy that often takes place with conventional lenders or banks, and longer term loans.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when seeking alternative loan options is that lenders that specialize in these look mostly at the probability that you will be able to pay back the terms of the loan back. However, it’s important to know that interest rates are typically higher with short term and hard money loans – this is because lenders are putting up a higher risk. The good news is that these loan applications often are much simpler and easier to get approved quickly than traditional loans, so you can get the money you need — and get it fast! However, high interest rates are worth it if it means taking your business to the next level. Even though you may have higher interest rates, getting this loan can make all the difference for the growth of your company and taking your company to the next level.

It’s important to meet with a broker to find out if a short term or hard money loan is right for you.

When you meet with them, be upfront about what you need and your business experience or history so that they can best help you get the commercial loans you need. Professional lenders and brokers can offer advice on how to prepare for the loan including what documentation you’ll need to submit. These will typically include your financial statements, credit report, business plan, bank statements (personal and business) and more.

Try not to get too stressed out about getting approval for your loan.

Yes, this is a high-stress situation; however letting your emotions get the best of you won’t help. Try to remember to take it one day at a time. There may be snags and setbacks, but keep your eye on the prize — getting your loan approved to help open or grow your business! There are lots of options so just keep in mind that if there is some rejection along the way, it doesn’t mean it’s the end of road for your business dreams. So find the one that’s right for you and you’ll be on your way to making your business dreams come true.

Commercial Loans In Texas – What You Need To Know About Working With the SBA-Part 4 – Selecting the Right Lender


1page_img1Once you have all of the paperwork in place and understand the process of obtaining a commercial loan in Texas through the Small Business Administration, you must now begin the process of figuring out which lender is going to serve your needs. Picking the correct lender is very important in making sure that your loan process runs smoothly.

While they might all seem the same on the surface, there are vast differences amongst lenders, especially when it comes to a loan through the Small Business Administration. In order to make your process as easy and stress-free as possible, you will want to find a skilled lender that not only have experience in commercial loans, but also one that has experience dealing with the various aspects of SBA loans.

One of the differentiating factors with a lender who is familiar in dealing with the Small Business Administration is whether or not they are a “Preferred” lender. This is important, as an approved lender (noted by the preferred status) has already cleared some of the basic requirements put forth by the SBA and this will greatly speed up the process for the borrower. If a lender is not preferred, they must initially submit the borrower’s credit application to the SBA directly. A preferred lender can skip this step.

Another factor that will help you pick the correct lender for your needs with your commercial loan through the Small Business Administration is whether or not they have a department that is dedicated solely to these types of loans. Will you receive specialized attention? Or will you just be another application that is thrown into the stack. Lenders that have dedicated personnel are going to make your loan process much smoother and will help you to feel at ease with the process.

Along with selecting the right institution, it is critical that you also select the right loan officer. This person is going to be working with you and will be critical to your success. If you do not get along with your loan officer, or do not feel they would do a good job, then that is a sign that your commercial loan process is not going to be as smooth as it should be. Your loan officer should not only be familiar with commercial lending in general, but also be familiar with Small Business Administration loans specifically.

What other questions should I ask a potential lender about my commercial loan in Texas through the SBA?

You will no doubt have many questions when trying to find a potential lender, as you well should. There are two basic questions that every lender should have answer to very quickly. In fact, they might even have printed documentation for you. The first is what sort of supporting documents this specific lender requires for the loan process. The second is how long this specific lender expects the commercial loan process to take. Good lenders will be able to give you concrete, precise answers.

Commercial Loans In Texas – What You Need To Know About Working With the SBA-Part 3 – Getting Started


80-960x631So you have decided that obtaining a loan from the Small Business Administration is a route that you would like to take. And you have also determined that your small business is eligible, according to their guidelines. Here is what you need to do to prepare for an SBA commercial loan in Texas.

Congratulations on making it this far! The world of commercial lending can be an intimidating place, so the fact that a borrow starts to get their ducks in a row to apply for a loan is a huge step in the right direction, and is a giant leap forward in making business dreams come true.

But how does a potential borrower get started with a commercial loan? The first thing is to understand that the process does not happen overnight. It is going to take some time and that is okay. So just be patient. A borrower is going to spend a great deal of time organizing, gathering and sorting various financial documents.

So get organized. If you are not a numbers person, you might want to become one. If you have a professional accountant, now would be the time to begin to understand what exactly they do. If, however, you already have your nose in the books, then you are going to be just fine. If you understand how all of your accounts work, and how to access all of the information, you are already ahead of the game and will simply need to organize the information to present to a potential commercial loan application. In addition to this, know exactly how you will be using the loan and how it will benefit your business. This goes beyond simply crunching the numbers. A solid business plan, that is updated to include the expansion that will be possible with the commercial lending, might not be required by a lender, but it most certainly will not hurt to have in place before beginning the application process.

Also, pay attention to detail. It is far better to provide too much information than not enough. The SBA and the lender are going to determine if you are financially competent enough to not only be responsible with their money, but also if you are going to pay it back. If they have to pull information out of you, it does not bode well for you being fiscally capable of handling significant debt on your own. That is not an impression that you want to leave with potential lenders.

Finally, keep your financial records up to date. Not only does this apply to the application process, but also as the loan is current. You should try to fall no further behind than 60 days. If you are detail oriented and organized, this should not be a problem at all. No lender, who is looking to grant you a commercial loan, is going to make a decision based on financial information that is outdated.

What strategies can I use to ensure the highest degree of success with my commercial loan in Texas?

Plan to devote a great deal of time to this process. If you must, seek help, whether that be mentors or other small business owners who have gone through the process. Remember, you do not have to do this alone. There are plenty of others who have successfully obtained a commercial loan, but it does not come without a great deal effort.

What is Asset Based Commercial Lending Texas?


2page_img3-bigAsset based commercial lending Texas is growing in popularity. It is a newer alternative to the standard commercial real estate financing that has been in place for many decades.

The conventional commercial lending Texas process normally involves many steps. There is an analysis of the commercial property that must be completed to determine if it has the value to secure the loan. The borrowers must also provide a deposit to cover the loan processing and fees for discovery prior to being granting the loan. In addition, the borrower must submit a great deal of financial information to the lender to demonstrate their financial security and ability to repay the loan that they are requesting. And even though this does not look like a long list of tasks, the reality is that it can take six to twelve weeks for all of this to be completed. But asset based commercial lending Texas can offer a much shorter timeline.

Asset based commercial lending Texas can offer a shorter turnaround time because the lender is not looking as much at the value of the commercial property. In this case, the collateral is not the property being purchased but instead it is the company’s other assets such as accounts receivables, balance sheet assets such as inventory or equipment that is being used as the collateral. This eliminates a lot of the preparation time that a borrower devoted to preparing financial documents for a lender and also reduces the time that the lender must devote to evaluating the borrowers financial stability.

True Asset Based Lenders

In reality, a true asset based lender does not request any financial documentation from a borrower. And they are willing to accept any level of credit score or credit history that the borrower might have. What the lender does want to see is proof of ownership of the other assets that the borrower is using as collateral. In the case of inventory or equipment, the lender will want to be sure of the value of the items. This might require appraisals that the borrower will need to pay for. But the greatest benefit other than the lack of credit and financial information is the fast approval time. In many cases these loans can be processed in a fraction of the time that a conventional loan requires.

Who Are Asset Based Lenders

In many cases, an asset based lender is a private lender who is not restricted by federal lending regulations. This can work in the borrowers favor as the criteria to qualify can be much less strict. But it can also work against the borrower because the lender is not forced to comply with any interest guide lines. But if you need a commercial loan quickly or you have a questionable credit history, then asset based lenders are a great option. However, as with any loan from any lender, you will want to have the loan documents reviewed by your legal professional prior to signing them. This will ensure that you are in full agreement with all of the terms of the loan.

How a Private Lender Can Help You Get Your Commercial Loans Texas


2page_img3-bigIf you are hoping to get approved for commercial loans Texas, you may benefit from the expertise of a private lender. They often do not have as high of or as many expectations as a conventional lender such as a bank and don’t have as many difficult requirements, either.

Working with a private lender can ensure you are working with a trustworthy person and that your source of financing is a solid way to experience growth for your business. Whether you are purchasing a building, need new equipment to expand or improve your company’s services or simply need a bigger supply or cash as a “cushion,” you can count on the expertise of a private lender. Sometimes the fact that a small business’s cash supply isn’t always as consistent as needed when they first start out or are expanding is enough to seek out a private lender for commercial loans Texas.

Unlike conventional lenders and conservative banks, private lenders are more likely to negotiate better terms for you, even it you have a somewhat unsteady cash flow or less than perfect credit. Traditional banks don’t and can’t afford to take “risks” on new or edgy business concepts for example, which is why a lender can be beneficial in this circumstance as well. They might not offer generous mortgage terms that private lenders would be willing to offer. Private lenders are more willing to take the “gamble” on a new or different business concept.

Another example of a good time to seek a private lender is if your company is new and you have yet to establish any business credit, or if you are rebuilding your credit score based on past “dings.” Banks are not very forgiving with no or low credit. But private lenders are typically willing to work with new businesses, especially if the credit history is mostly clean. Private lenders also specialize in short-term loans, which can be very helpful for new and growing businesses.

You can still be eligible for commercial loans Texas if you go through a private lender.

Private lenders won’t make you go through all the red tape that traditional banks require. Lenders are there to help you from start to finish and usually make the process of getting a loan much simpler and stress free.

All in all, working with the right private lender can make getting commercial loans Texas a very smooth and streamlined process.

Take some time to research private lenders that specialize in the loans you are in need of and who are willing to work with your to negotiate the deal that works best for your business needs. A lender can fast track your loan and get your business in a position for growth and development in no time!

Banks Eager to Assist the Small Business Administration with Commercial Lending in Texas after Hurricane Harvey

3page_img1After Hurricane Harvey hit and severely damaged southeaster Texas, the Small Business Administration has stepped in the lend a helping hand. But local banks think that they should help to speed up the commercial lending in Texas process.

The Small Business Administration is helping small businesses with commercial lending in Texas to those who have been hit by Hurricane Harvey. The government organization offers support and disaster loans up to $2 millions to those impacted by natural disasters. The Small Business Administration has already processed close to 100 loans, totaling $8.5 million dollars.

Local banks usually do not assist with disaster funding because they are more of a financial risk compared to conventional lending. But many are currently in need of disaster commercial lending in Texas and many of the banks in the area that were hit hardest by the category 4 storm want to help the community without making a profit for it. Banks and lenders have first-hand seen the devastation that Hurricane Harvey brought, causing 18 counties in Texas to be declared disaster areas.

However, the Small Business Administration feels that disaster funding is unsuitable for banks and lenders. A law was placed in 2008 that directed the Small Business Administration to be in charge of disaster funding. The administration was established to help small businesses get back on their feet after being impacted by a natural disaster. This is why the Small Business Administration want to deal with disaster loans themselves.

With $19.4 billion backed by commercial lending in Texas were put at risk due to flooding, the Small Business Administration could actually benefit from any help they can get.

The idea of the Small Business Administration working with local banks and lenders would really help the community get back on their feet faster. It would be more effective to process the high number of applications for commercial lending in Texas, if there were more hands on deck. Many across the state of Texas will need assistance and if banks are willing to help, then it is a win-win solution for all involved.

Nearly three quarters of banks polled want to lend a helping hand with commercial lending in Texas after Hurricane Harvey

People in the area that was impacted by Hurricane Harvey know how much damaged was caused. This could be the reason why 70 percent of the 40 banks polled by the Coleman Report and reported by the American Banker said they would welcome the opportunity to help the Small Business administration with funding disaster loans to those in need after Hurricane Harvey hit.

Recent Dispute Reaches a Settlement After Complaints Were Filed Over Commercial Loans in Texas

2page_img3-bigIt was recently reported that a dispute on the verge of a court date has been settled between lenders and a group of greenhouse operations, Color Star Growers. Not long after the company received a commercial loan in Texas, Color Star Growers shortly filed for bankruptcy, causing tensions between lenders and the company to rise.

Law 360 in Dallas reported the vague details regarding a fraud dispute totaling around $66 millions dollars. In a statement that was released by Regions Bank, who specializes in commercial loans in Texas, the banks say that they resolved all pending claims, even including counterclaims, with MCG Capital Corporation. A separate federal case between Regions Bank and Comerica Bank was also recently resolved, but details from that case was not reported.

The dispute between lenders and Color Star Growers stems from a federal and state litigation that totaled around $66 million in loans. Color Star Growers obtained a commercial loan in Texas, but just a short year later, they ended up filing for bankruptcy. This then led to accusations of Color Star Growers committing fraud.

Color Star Growers were accused by lenders of committing fraud by hiding their terrible financial woes. This of course then caused a claim to be issued between lenders and others, stating that Regions Bank actually knew about all of Color Star Growers’ financial inaccuracies, but didn’t end up informing the lenders of any of the financial issues.

Regions Bank denies complaints from lenders who issues commercial loans in Texas to Color Star Growers

Even though the lenders claim that Regions Bank actually had the knowledge of Color Star Growers’ financial issues, Regions Bank continuously denies that they knew anything about the financial issues and troubles that Color Star Growers were experiencing. Regions Bank also made sure that they stated that they did not see any documents that showed any financial issues to back up the claim that they were aware.

A little over a year after Color Star Growers received a commercial loan in Texas, the company went and filed for bankruptcy.

In 2012, Color Star Growers received a commercial loan in Texas from lenders and then was forced to file for bankruptcy at the end of the 2013 year. Lenders claim that Color Star Growers made an “enormous” overstatement of its actual inventory, which led to “fictitious” profits. The lenders stated that Color Star Growers had less than $7 million dollars in inventory, when they claimed that they had $17 million in inventory. The exact terms of the settlement were not disclosed in court documents.
