Maryland Hard Money Lenders. Private Loans in Maryland, Virginia & Washington, DC
The next time you’re flying over Dulles or Ronald Reagan airports, glance out the window. If the sky is clear, you’ll see the landscape below. You may notice clusters of homes in neat squares. Plus, you can spot patches of green farm fields or skyscrapers. Essentially, the view from an airplane window is a visible clue to understanding zoning.
Yes, Jerome Powells, when a tray of sushi goes up in price by 20% in two weeks, it’s time to drop “transitory” as a description of the inflation we are living through. “Shocking” might be a better term for someone trying to feed a family. Or, perhaps, “befuddling,” if you are a real estate investor trying to decide on your strategy for the next year. So let’s talk more of what “befuddles” the experts and the novices alike: How the DC real estate market will stand up to inflation? Perhaps more importantly, is it still possible to make money investing in it in 2022?
Many private lenders base their loans on the after-repair value of the home. An efficient and orderly renovation process is essential to reaching that value. This is why private lenders often hold the construction budget in escrow. By releasing this budget to the borrower in a series of draws, they ensure that the renovations are indeed taking place. The document that governs that process is called a draw schedule.
In private lending, a draw schedule is an agreement between a borrower and a lender on how to manage construction reserves held by that lender. It documents:
No one takes a hard money loan with a goal to default. In the ideal world, every fix-and-flip transaction would result in a profit for a rehabber and a performing loan for a private lender. At New Funding Resources, the majority of our borrowers never miss a payment, and less than 1% default on their hard money loan. That is not to say that problems do not arise from time to time. This is why borrowers need to know what it takes to stay current on their loan, what happens when the payment on your hard money loan is late, and how to avoid defaulting on your hard money loan.
Mark Twain famously quipped: “Nothing in life is guaranteed except death and taxes.” As real estate rehabbers, we face that uncertainty every day. Our profit calculations are based on the myriad estimates that depend on factors beyond our control. Learning to manage this uncertainty is learning to manage and minimize your risk. Today I want to talk about one component that is especially tricky to control – your rehab costs. Estimating renovation costs correctly is the key to your success as a real estate investor. Yet, these four costly items are often overlooked and, as a result, may significantly reduce your profits.
Some of the best rehab deals I’ve seen have been bought at foreclosure auctions. Yet, when the rewards are high, so is the risk. The risk comes from many unknowns that are unique to homes sold at the auctions. One of the unknows is whether it comes with its former occupants and, if it does, how to deal with them. There are several reasons why you might be wary of buying a foreclosure that is still occupied.
