Hedge Fund Financing -- $1M Minimum

 

The 30-year-old Hedge Fund seeks to provide financing for $1M+ USD residential and/or commercial projects to include acquisition, development and/or construction.  The financing available is not credit score driven and will provide higher LTV’s than traditional financing sources such as banks, pension funds and insurance companies.  The program is available for US and non-US projects.

 

The Hedge Fund will consider the purchase, refinance and/or cash out refinance of commercial real estate properties, as well as business acquisitions.  Casinos, movies, churches, precious stones, metals, and other ‘unusual’ projects will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.   Furthermore, the Hedge Fund can provide 100% financing with a 50/50, 60/40 or 70/30 split.  Equity financing is also available.  

 

90%+ of all projects funded will have interest rates at 150 to 300 basis points over either the 5 yr T-Bill, 10 yr T-Bill or the 30 day Libor rate.  The Prime rate [plus 100 to 200 basis points] will be used on an exception basis only. 

 

Acquisition and development projects will mature in 2 to 3 years and can convert to permanent financing with a 5 year fixed ARM amortized over 25 years.  All closing costs, origination fees and interest reserves can be rolled into the loan amount effectively providing a 97% LTV.  There are no prepayment penalties and no presale % requirements.  The majority of loans are non-recourse with carve outs.

 

 The following items are required to submit a package:   

1)      Amount requested detailing the precise use of funds

2)      Outline indicating any critical details or deadlines

3)      Principal’s or Management’s resume and background [20%+ owners]

4)      Personal Financial Statement not older than 60 days [20%+ owners]

5)      Pro-forma’s until stabilization or anticipated sell out

6)      Survey & Pictures if available

7)      Appraisal if available [6 months old or less]

 

A conference call is required with the project’s principals before submission. 

An acceptance letter with a needs list, is normally issued within 72 hours.

 

Vertical projects can also take advantage of our construction enhancement program that will reduce the overall construction costs and lock in additional profits before ground is broken.  The use of this system will also lower the LTV, decrease the building cycle and increase the sales cycle.  

 

A deposit will be required after terms are agreed upon.  This is for 3rd party fees and is held in escrow.  The deposit is refundable if something goes awry, but not if the borrower pulls out. The deposit varies on a project-by-project basis, but is typically around $25,000.
