When can a Private Equity Loan Help your Borrower

Hard Money Loans for Mortgage Brokers – While most Mortgage Brokers focus most of their time and energy originating “A” Paper Loans, situations do come up when even an “A” Paper Borrower might need a Private Equity Loan in order to “close the Deal”.

Most of the time this situation occurs when the “A” Paper Lender is dragging their feet or better yet going crazy with underwriting conditions that are imposed on the Mortgage Broker’s Borrower.

We have seen instance after instance where due to a small insignificant matter led an “A” Paper loan going down the drain.  In such a situation time might not be available to close escrow with another “A” Paper Lender in the time agreed to in the Purchase Contract with the Seller. Or in the case of a simple refinance where the Borrower needs funds for a Business or Investment purpose a Private Equity Loan can provide a Mortgage Broker’s Borrower the funds they need when the “A” Paper Lender proves difficult.

 Following are the most common situations where a Mortgage Broker should suggest a Private Equity Loan to their Borrowers:

 The Borrower has Credit Issues:

• Current and past delinquent mortgages and consumer credit that are not acceptable to the big banks and other institutional lenders.

The Borrower has Income Issues:

• This covers everything from limited income documentation to no income  documentation whatsoever, either way the big banks aren’t accepting the income documentation

There are Property Condition Issues: 

• Deferred maintenance and contemplated property additions not allowed with traditional bank financing

In additional there are numerous types of properties that the big banks and institutional lenders will not often fund, some of which are:

•  Churches

 When money is needed faster than the big banks or institutional lenders can provide – Hard Money Loans for Mortgage Brokers

A Mortgage Broker that offers a Private Equity Loan to their Borrowers can prove be a good business decision for both the Mortgage Broker and their Borrowers.

Mortgage Brokers should ALWAYS inform their Borrower/Clients that anytime a Private Equity Loan is obtained that a plan should be put in place to pay the loan off, by either refinancing when credit, income & the property is acceptable to an institutional lender or by simply selling the property.

Often times Borrowers contact our company directly or through their Mortgage Broker to obtain funds for a GOOD business or investment deal that would not remain available when allowing for Institutional Lender’s loan processing time frames.  We always suggest a plan to pay the loan off, whether that plan includes credit repair, income documentation matters or necessary improvements to the property’s condition.  Often times income documentation is a much harder challenge, since the underwriting requirements of institutional lenders often demand two years’ documentation of business income and often the same time frame for employed Borrowers.

This type of situation provides an opportunity for Mortgage Brokers to earn a commission from originating the Private Equity Loan and later another commission from originating the institutional refinance. Hard Money Loans for Mortgage Brokers.
