Florida HARD MONEY MORTGAGE LOANS – PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTOR
Five Stars provides our clients with access to every lending source available in the market today. One of the valuable resources is private equity funds sometimes called “hard money” Hard Money lenders provide a valuable niche in today’s market by cutting through the red tape associated with other mortgage loans.
Please note all hard money purchase loans require a min of 30% down payment. Also note for purchase loans we lend based on the sale price of a property, not the assumed higher appraised value. No Primary residence homes, raw land, or lots loans permitted.
Hard Money Refinance is a great way to lower an existing high-interest rate on your current hard money loan, or cash out some equity to pay off higher-interest debt. Some also use this to pay off a balloon mortgage that may be due. Just like the hard money purchase program, equity is key.
Hard Money or Private Equity is far different from other more traditional “conventional” financing sources. Hard money lenders typically lend solely based on the equity in the home. Due to the extreme demand on hard money lenders and their ability to pick and chose which loans they wish to provide… most hard money lenders prefer to refinance loans to purchase loans. Five Stars does have ready access to private equity funds for hard money purchase loans.
There are many advantages to hard money loans and also some drawbacks that real estate investors should be educated about:
Hard Money Benefits
- Ability to close loans very fast, in as little as 3-5 days.
- Credit is only checked for judgments or liens that may need to be paid in order to avoid the private equity hard money lender from any title problems down the road.
- Income and Asset documentation is not needed in most cases.
- If you have equity… you pretty much have a loan.
Hard Money Caution
- Hard money typically has higher interest rates depending on the risk level of your particular loan. Minimum paperwork, little or poor credit, and fast closings always come at a cost.

Specialized Hard Money Programs
INVESTOR LOANS:
We have a new program for investors looking to purchase REOs or even for FHA fallout loans that cannot be financed conventionally. Conventional lenders have limited investors to only having 10 properties financed at one time. By using our hard money investor loan program, you will be able to purchase as many investment properties as you can reasonably sustain. The requirements of our investor hard money REO purchase program are:
- $75,000 min loan amount on hard money loans.
- No Income Documentation is Required (bank statements and other asset verification may be reviewed)
- A 30% min down payment required
These loans are underwritten in a “makes sense” fashion with no red tape. If you can show an ability to repay the loan then the chances are we can get you approved under this investor purchase program. This will allow you to maximize your cash and purchase more bank REOs or other undervalued properties at a great profit.
