Hi DG family,
Boy have I been busy! But, I wanted to let you know about this company that will lend 80-100% of purchase price (depends on how good the deal is).
They lend all over the US and, although you'll have to come in with some money, they only check credit if you're planning on refinancing. They also require a lot of the things a traditional loan requires like tax returns and bank statements. SO, this isn't for EVERYBODY, but, it will be useful to some people.
This is a good alternative in states like CA where lenders want 'skin in the game'. Other states this may not be as valuable as you can get lenders that will give you 65% ARV and include all fees and rehab + purchase price in the loan; but here in CA, that isn't available (and if you know of a HML that does this here, PLEASE let me know! (I've called every HML I can find) Then there's true private money. CAN'T beat that, and this can't touch that either; BUT it is a nice funding solution.
You an learn more at www.privatemoneybank.com/tammyr. I became an affiliate there several months ago but have recently had someone use it and had a good report. If you use it, I will reimburse a percentage of anything I get (I don't get much, I believe its 1/2 to 1 point.) The rates are from 10-16% and there are points (vary by deal).
ALSO, if you have other properties, you can use the equity you have in them for any cash you don't have to make it a no money down loan. The only caveat to that is that there can be no other liens on the property and they need to be the lienholder on that property as well.
The criteria is as follows:
□ Application
□ Borrower Agreement – signed
□ Valid Photo ID
□ Preliminary Title Report– Tax Assessment, 24 mo. chain of title, Liens, Judgments, Borrower’s Name(s)
A. Lenders title insurance with them as the lender
B. Copies of previous recorded deeds or mortgages
C. Title Including No Liens or Judgments, Ownership as Free & Clear, Amount Owed
□ Financial Statements and/or Proof of Collateral for additional properties being added to transaction:
□ Previous Two months bank statements all pages
□ 2 Yrs Tax returns all schedules both business and personal
□ Two years W-2’s, one month paystubs ( if applicable)
□ IRA/401K/CD’s with current date and balance
□ Loan Summary – short report to include your investment property background experience, discuss any partner agreements in place, and most importantly, the detailed exit plan to let them lender know how you intend to pay on the loan– both monthly and final payoff.
□ Non-Owner Occupied Hazard Insurance Valid on Subject Property (s)
□ Contractor Bid for Rehab (licensed and bonded) agreement including outline of projects and cost estimates along with timeline to complete projects.
□ Property Valuation:
□ APO (Affiliate Price Opinion- $150 charge) OR Submit Panoramic Video of all rooms and walls
□ Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) (no older than 30 days) OR Broker Price Opinion (BPO) (no older than 30 days)
• Have the above include: 3 Recently Sold; 3Listed; 1 Sold, 1 Listed comp within one mile of subject property and the remainder within 5 miles of the subject property.
• All reports should have an opinion of value and a range for the area. If rehab is being done have an “as is” value as well as “after repair value”.
□ Current Interior/Exterior Photos (no older than 30 days)
□ Rent roll for all properties owned & current lease agreements
□ Purchase and Sale contract signed by both parties, including all signed addendums
a. Earnest Money Deposit – copy of check/money order
b. Escrow name and contact information
So, until Dean has his private money setup to go, this is a good alternative (although its not true private money).
Thanks for this post Tammy:) Just came across it...and I think it is definately helpful.

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for the info... I will tuck this away... the more options the better.
I accidently learned of a way to find hard money lenders. You have probably found all of them in your area, but this may help others reading this thread. Being in CA, I wanted to research no-season refi's before I actually needed one. I entered "mortgage" and the name of a city into google... and up came a list of mortgage lenders. Well, I started calling these small, unknown companies... and many were HML's! I tried different cities and came up with different lists. Some of the companies were quite small... so I'm thinking it may be possible to develope a relationship with one (or more) and get better terms.
just my two cents

I'm ALWAYS looking for portfolio, hard and private lenders. I've been going through refi hell trying to get out of a hard money loan now for 10 months; I think it MIGHT actually be closing next week. But thanks for the tip. I went through all the banks in my area on yellowpages. I've found the ones that say they don't do mortgages actually do have inhouse products, but you need to go into the bank, introduce yourself and tell them what you do to find out about the hidden products.
Have a great day
It is CERTAIN we will SUCCEED!

Wow... I never would have thought to walk into a bank that told me that they don't do mortgages... thanks for that tip! At the moment, my stategy is to buy houses using private money. I would like to refi some of them so I can keep them as rentals, so that is really useful info for me.
Thanks!
