Investors focus on how to identify the correct private hard money lenders loan to the right property deal and learning how to respect lenders lending requirements.
Here is the first example of a rehab hard money lender: Hard Money Loans up to 200 Million Dollars. Rehab Loans available in all 50 States. Minimum Fico Score 620, with up to 75% LTV of the ARV. Two week funding. additional program for So. California. Construction Loans – 1 Million Minimum Loan Amount, Nationwide. Commercial Loans – 500K Minimum. Special Commercial Program Available in So. Calif. Only. Residential Loans Available in California only @ 65% LTV. Lots and Land Loans at 50% LTV Nationwide. Notice that the requirements specify rates, terms and geographical lending areas and are very detailed.
Often times, private lenders specify lending requirments on only one or two types of properties. Some hard money lenders focus on very specific requirements as shown in this example. We can fund within 48 hours (or less). We offer loans for up to 6 months with no payment for up to 4 months. We loan on Single Family Homes up to 4Plexes. We can fund up to 100% of the purchase price. We can also fund repair money. We specialize in providing backing for Real Estate Investors. You must have the property under contract before you apply.

Commercial properties or homes on or next to commercial corridors, properties around or across from Rail Road tracks or major highway
systems or freeways, Lots, Raw Land, Construction. It is evident that this lender does not want the additional liabilities and risk that these types of properties may present.
Lenders sometimes focus on rates and specific funding guidelines as shown in this example. Rates from 11 to 14% Interest Only payments. Points from 1 to 4. Terms from 6 to 36 months, no pre payment penalty. Construction and Rehab loans up to 100% LTC at 65 LTV of the ARV. Land loans up to 50 LTV. Residential refi up to 65 LTV, purchase up to 80 LTV.

Therefore, many lenders have loan minimums and maximums again making it much easier for the borrower to determine eligibity of the specific property compared to the lender program.
Lenders have specific programs for rehabbing property also as shown here. The Rehabber program provides 65% of After Repair Value
whichincludes sale price, repair costs, and, if structured properly, allloan fees. No down payment is requisite. This equates to little or no money out of pocket expense. Your money continues to work for you. Loans range from $30,000 to $1,000,000, 100% of the sale price and repair funds, not exceeding 65% of ARV (after repair value) , minimum term of Six (6) months, interest only payments, approval in 3 business days once all required docs are received and closing in 15 days once all required documentation is received. If purchase and repair costs are below 65% of the ARV, the closing costs can be wrapped in into the loan. The escrow repair funds are paid to the rehabber on a reimbursement basis. The rehabber pays for materials and labor then presents receipts and/or lien waivers as required. Appointments for inspection must be made at least three days in advance. Copies of the receipts and/or lien waivers must be provided at the time of the reimbursement. For commercial property, Monthly Payment Plan -Required credit score: >620 Commercial properties include: apartment building, office, industrial, mini-storage, retail and hotels. This type of loan is evident of a lender who prefers commercial property.
