Developers and home builders sometimes have trouble finding financing for their speculative real estate ventures. Traditional financial institutions don't always feel comfortable lending funds for empty retail spaces or spec houses. Tying up cash by making a personal investment may not be feasible. Another possibility for Washingtonians, are the hard money construction loans Seattle lenders will make, if you qualify for them.

Unless you are brand new to the construction business, you already know all about these lenders. The funds are loaned by private investors for a short time period and are not required to meet Federal Reserve guidelines. Not all of these companies are legitimate however, and you need to weed out the sharks and find one with a proven reputation.

When you are considering this kind of loan, you should weigh the pros and cons. You can get financing quickly and without all the rules and regulations that may prevent you from bank approval. Most cash advances are for a twelve to twenty month period, and you should be prepared to pay it back with interest. Rates are high, and you will be responsible for fees and closing costs.

This lender will be more concerned about the value of your collateral than how great your personal credit is. When applying for the loan, you should be prepared to present construction budgets, architectural plans, and contract bid sheets. You will have to know the market history of the area and give the lender information about comparable property sales.

You do need to be prepared to supply some personal financial information. The lender may ask for pay stubs, bank statements, and several years worth of tax returns. Any documentation of successful projects will help your case. You are not going to receive all the cash for the development. You will have to find another way to come up with about a third of the funds.

Since the private lender doesn't have to adhere to many regulations, you should have your lawyer look over the paperwork before you sign anything. You need to know that all the details are addressed in the contract, like any additional fees and the repayment schedule. It's a good idea to pay special attention to interest accrual and what your personal liability is in the case of default.

Since the lender can okay a project within a matter of weeks, you need to have everything in place to start immediately. You have to be prepared to have cash on hand to pay for underwriting fees and closing costs. Contractors, architects, and suppliers need to know what the turnaround time is. If the loan is for twelve months, the project has to be completed and sold by then.

Hard money loans are useful, if you know exactly what they entail and what is expected of you when you commit to one. They can be great for builders and developers with mediocre credit ratings. If you have been turned down by traditional lenders, turning to the private sector can get you cash to complete the project that will get you back on your feet.
