The Storage Stud Talks Self Storage Success

On this episode of What is the Deal, the real estate podcast that gives answers, we'll be covering what is the deal with hard money lending. One of the most common finance tools in fix and flip real estate is hard money.

Joining me to lend some knowledge on hard money is my good friend and colleague, Brandon Moulton

Who are you and what do you do?

For the people that don't know, what is "hard money"?

What does a day in the life of a Senior Vice President of Lending in a hard money lending firm look like?

Why should a real estate investor use hard money?

What are the decisions someone will be faced when choosing a hard money lender?

How would you advise someone to choose the right hard money lender?

What is the most common mistake you see real estate investors make when it comes to utilizing hard money?

On the flip side, what is the most common mistake you see lenders make?

What advice would you give a real estate investor looking to utilize hard money for the first time?

What advice would you give someone considering starting a hard money lending company?

What can a real estate investor do to make themselves the most attractive borrower possible to a hard money lender?

All too often, founders Fernando Angelucci & Steven Wear came across investors who had deployed their capital only to regret the lack of consistency or degree of returns their investments were producing. In response, Titan Wealth Group provides access to highly-vetted real estate secured investments and off-market acquisition opportunities primarily in the Greater Chicago MSA. Today, Titan Wealth Group not only assists individual investors but has grown to support the acquisition goals and capital deployment of investment groups, private equity firms, and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

Now that you understand closing costs better from the last video (https://youtu.be/0z8sbiFMm0M), the next question is, who pays them?

Typically this is split evenly between the buyer and the seller especially if it's a retail transaction. But when you work with an investor, that changes. Usually, investors pay all the closing costs.

Not long, really. But it depends on how complete the information the investor gets.

Usually, they can close in 15 to 30 days upon initial contact. But delays such as if we don't have enough details, what repairs are needed, and the inability for us to get into the property can prolong the process.

As with anything else, there are pros and cons to selling to an investor. One of which is that the price would be lower because investors need to make a living so they bake a profit margin into the offer.

Another downside is that things can move really quickly which can be a problem for those who need some time to think about things.

While we have several types of offers we can make, there are cases wherein they do not fit the situation.

If the property is in good condition and no repair is needed, then this is a good time to list it because you get the maximum amount of value. But it does have some downsides such as taking a lot of time, getting offers with contingencies, and more.

Why should you sell to an investor?

There are a lot of reasons for that. For example, investors such as us can move faster. We can close on a property within 15 to 30 days.

The retail sale route can take so much more time. Another reason is the fact that we buy as-is, where-is. We are taking it in the condition that it's in; you don't even have to clean it out!

And one more reason is we usually don't have any type of contingency in our contract.

What is the seller financing offer?

This is the fourth of the five offers we can make to sellers.

In some cases, our previous offers may not make sense based on the timeline goals of the seller. But if the seller is willing to be our bank, then we will be able to make a higher offer because the interest rates we would normally pay to an investor is mitigated.

The third of the five offers we make is called the price lift offer. So, what exactly is this?

In certain situations, sellers can't accept cash or cash plus offers because it doesn't take care of their financial needs. With a price lift offer, we establish a partnership between ourselves and the seller.

We will basically come in as a partner to rehab the property and then sell it on the open market.

All the profit is then split between us and the seller.
