Why Developers Turn to Arizona Hard Money Lenders

Finding the right lender to support you and your construction business is one of the keys to success. Arizona Hard Money Lenders are a popular go-to for those in this business.

Since the last construction downturn in 2008, lenders have considered construction loans a risky business proposition. Their requirements for borrowers including work history, creditworthiness, and money down are set in standards that are not negotiable. Typically, traditional lenders offer three different types of construction loans. One is a construction-to-permanent loan. In this type of loan, banks pay the builder in different stages as the construction is complete. At the end of the building process, the loan is converted to a mortgage. The second type of bank loan is a construction-only loan. These loans simply cover the costs of construction and are due in full upon completion. The third type of loan is a renovation construction loan—often used by those that are in the fix-and-flip investment model. This type of loan allows you to add the projected cost of the renovations into the mortgage, as well as the purchase price.

All of these loans are based on draws—paid at specified times during various construction phases. Banks will send an inspector to the construction site in order to ensure that the contractor has completed the phase and is on schedule. Besides monthly draws, these loans typically offer interest-only payments during the construction process. At the end of the loan term, usually as construction is complete, the full payment on the loan may be due. These loans are short-term in nature, though there is usually greater flexibility than other types of loans.

One problem contractors find with these types of loans is that they are harder to qualify for and banks will want to see a history of completed projects. Builders usually require a credit score of at least 680 percent and a down payment of at least 20 percent is required. Because of the difficulty in obtaining these loans, and the extended time to funding, contractors often turn to Arizona Hard Money Lenders.

What are the Benefits of Getting a Colorado Hard Money Loan for Construction?

Builders turn to Texas Hard Money Lenders for a variety of reasons. These include a quick approval and funding process that takes a week instead of a month. Another reason is that they are easier to qualify for. Whereas traditional lenders require specific credit scores, Arizona private lenders look at how much equity you have invested in the property with this carrying greater weight for both qualifying and amount. They will also consider additional assets. Because they are not government regulated, Texas Hard Money Lenders have greater flexibility when it comes to terms and repayment schedule.
