THE PROCESS

Fast and Easy Process for Commercial Hard Money Loans in the Bay Area

Applying for a commercial hard money loan is pretty straightforward. Here is a sample process:

Contact: Call Kevin at 415-793-3403, or email kevin@privatefundsdirect.com to schedule an initial consultation.

​

Pre-Qualification: Before the loan process actually begins, and is usually the first step after initial contact is made. In a pre-qualification, the lender gathers information about the borrower and property being used as collateral for the loan. The property itself is typically the single most important factor when determining whether or not to move forward in the loan process. Other factors, to a lesser degree, include borrower credit and financial stability.

​

Filling Out a Loan Application: This is where the application really starts. For some other types of loans, the application takes place a day or two after your pre-qualification. For commercial hard money loans, the application takes place on the same day.

​

Processing: Once the application is finished, your loan will begin processing. If it's required, your credit report will be ordered, and the appraisal on the property that will be used as collateral for the loan is completed. After collecting all requirements, the processor will then submit all the documents to the underwriter for review.

​

Underwriting: The underwriter assesses whether the risk of lending to you is acceptable. They will review all of the documentation collected by the processor and determine whether or not to approve your loan. Underwriters on hard money loans focus more on the collateral value than on your income or credit, making it easier to get approved.

​

Approval: Once approved, you will be provided with a commitment letter that tells you all the terms and conditions of your loan. It is important to review and go through this letter with your lender to make sure you understand everything. You will typically need to purchase insurance that covers damage, fire, and theft before the loan closes.

​

Closing: The final stage is where you will sign all the loan documents and pay any closing costs. After your lender signs all the documents, an escrow agent will hold onto the loan until everything is paid off.

The property is the single most important factor.

THE BASICS

What Is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan is a type of loan provided to you by companies or private lenders that are not involved with any kind of financial institution. These are short-term loans with higher interest rates than bank loans, secured by property, which is referred to as collateral.

​

Bank loans may have lower interest rates and longer terms, but many people avoid them for several reasons. Not only do you need an excellent credit rating to qualify, but a verifiable financial history is also required to be eligible for a bank loan in the Bay Area. And even if you are approved, it can take months for the approved funds to be useable. While a bank is mainly concerned about your credit score, a hard money lender is more interested in the equity of your property.
