Be aware that some things only apply to California hard money loans:
Residential California hard money loans are typically given at a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 70% of the purchase price of a home or for a refinance – cash out up to 70% of the appraised value. This 30% of equity may seem like a lot of cushion for the lender but consider what position many convention lenders are in now! Most conventional lenders are out of business and we’re seeing the big banks closing their doors. Hard money lenders always play it safe, that’s why savvy lenders require at least 30% equity in your home. Many can cross-collateralize your CA propertiesif necessary to make your deal work. In other words you could max out one property up to 100% hard money financing if you have another property that can be secured for collateral!
There are few other qualifications for a hard money loan besides having that 30% “skin in the game” (skin in the game means having the 30 or more percent to put down on a purchase or at least 30% remaining equity in a home when refinancing.) Depending on the size and scope of your California deal you may be required to have a FICO score of 620+ but for most transactions most lenders still loan to anyone – even with bad or no credit!
