    What is a Hard Money Loan?

    A hard money loan is a short-term loan also known as a bridge loan, that is used until a person or company either secures permanent financing or removes the obligation through the sale of the property. Hard money loans generally have higher interest rates than conventional or bank loans, and are written for shorter periods of time. Typical hard money loans or bridge loans are 12 to 18 months in length. Wilshire Quinn loans do not exceed 60% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan.

    Santa Monica Hard Money Lender – financing your commercial & residential real estate investments

    Santa Monica is a beachfront city in western Los Angeles County, California. Santa Monica is a popular tourist destination with it’s iconic board walk and the Santa Monica Pier.

    According to Zillow, the median sales price in Santa Monica is $1,770,800. That’s a 10.6% increase from last year. They also forecast that the median home price will increase another 8.1% in the next year. The average price of a home in the United States, in comparison, is just over $200,000. Home prices in Santa Monica over the past few years have consistently risen making it worth consideration when looking at buying an investment property.

    Looking to buy an investment property to rent out in Santa Monica? Here’s why you should consider working with a Santa Monica hard money lender

    The cost of living in Santa Monica has continued to increase making home ownership difficult for people. Many Americans desire the single-family home lifestyle but just cannot afford to buy into it. Also, Millenials are delaying getting married and have massive school debt, and are not buying real estate. The number of Americans renting is incredibly high, leaving a great investment opportunity in rental income properties.

    • The majority of Californians rent rather than owning, making purchasing a rental property a good business
    • The average family size in Santa Monica is 1.87
    • Y-o-Y change for a 2 bedroom was 1% (average rent $4,238), and 3 bedroom was 17% (average rent $5,540)

    Rental properties have recently created a stable vehicle for investing money and creating wealth. As many look to purchase an investment rental property, some look for a Santa Monica hard money lender to finance their real estate purchase. Unlike traditional lenders, private money lending institutions focus more upon on the equity in a property relative to the borrower’s credit score. The underwriting and funding process can take place in a matter of days instead of weeks or months. Wilshire Quinn continues to fund hard money loans in Santa Monica and across the nation.

    Asset Based Lending

    Asset based lending means we base our loan amounts on the value of real estate, such as an investment property, multifamily building, or commercial building, rather than strictly on your credit score and debt to income levels. Wilshire Quinn takes pride in our common sense equity based lending. Wilshire Quinn is a Los Angeles hard money lender, with experience lending nationwide. As an experienced Santa Monica hard money lender we can handle even the most complicated of lending scenarios and care more about the real estate that you are purchasing or refinancing than inflexible bank requirements.

    The Wilshire Quinn team did an excellent job in a short time frame. I feel their rates and ‘products’ are competitive. Where I feel they distance themselves from the competitors is their commitment to customer satisfaction. Every project has challenges and they are dedicated to working with their clients to ensure satisfaction, which is not commonplace in the market these days.

    I'm not one to typically write reviews but I was so impressed with Wilshire Quinn Capital's service I felt it needed to be shared. I'm a mortgage broker and I recently referred a client to Wilshire Quinn who didn't qualify for any of our programs and needed to fund quickly on a house. I spoke with Matt Mielke and he was not only able to provide a great loan for the client but funded it with time to spare! The client thanked me for connecting him with Matt and as that was the only way he could finance his dream home. It was nice to be able to refer a hard money lender that did what he said he was going to do. I highly recommend Wilshire Quinn Capital for any hard money lending.

    F.A.Q’s – Hard Money Loans

    A hard money loan is a real estate-backed loan where a borrower receives funds secured by equity in their property (or properties). Hard money lenders like Wilshire Quinn are mainly focused on the equity in the property as opposed to borrower credit and financials. Hard money loans are typically short-term ranging from six months up to two years.

    Hard money lenders like Wilshire Quinn primarily focus on a property’s equity to secure the loan. The borrower’s credit is considered, but is not a primary determinant in the underwriting process.

    After receiving a signed term sheet, Wilshire Quinn typically funds a loan in five to seven business days.

    Wilshire Quinn will consider a wide variety of property types including: office, retail centers, industrial, hotels, parking lots/structures, condo inventory, entitled land, multifamily properties, non-owner-occupied single-family homes, vacation homes and rentals, primer loans and bridge loans.

    We will consider a wide variety of loan types including: purchase, refinance, cash-out refinance, partnership buyouts, rehabs, 1031 exchanges and value-added acquisitions.

    You can either complete our online loan application, email or call us. We would prefer to talk through your loan scenario directly, as we can determine in a matter of minutes, once we have a few simple questions answered, if we have interest.

    Our interest rates typically range from 8.5% to 10.5%, interest-only. Lender origination points typically range from 1% to 5% of the loan amount. The borrower pays for standard closing costs (title, escrow, legal).

    Most of our portfolio is in California but we do have the ability to lend nationwide. We strongly prefer to lend in major-metropolitan areas.
