Why Choose Us for Second Mortgage Loans?
Answers You Might Be Looking For
What is a second mortgage hard money loan in Florida?
A second mortgage hard money loan is a short-term, asset-based loan that takes a subordinate position behind your existing first mortgage. Unlike traditional second mortgages, these loans are based primarily on your Florida property’s equity rather than your credit history, making them ideal for real estate investors and business purposes.
What are the minimum requirements for a Florida second mortgage hard money loan?
The basic requirements include having an existing first mortgage in good standing, sufficient property equity (typically 30-50% of property value), and a combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio below 65-70%. Besides these, a verifiable identity is needed (passport acceptable if no Social Security number).
How much can I borrow with a Florida second mortgage hard money loan?
Our second mortgage hard money loans typically range from $100,000 to $10,000,000. The maximum LTV in Florida is generally lower at 55% compared to other states, meaning you can borrow up to 55% of your property’s appraised value minus your existing first mortgage balance.
What interest rates and terms should I expect?
Our Florida second mortgage hard money loan rates range from 11.00% to 15.00% with terms typically lasting 12-36 months. Most loans feature interest-only payments during the term, with origination fees ranging from 3-6 points (3-6% of loan amount).
How quickly can I get funded in Florida?
We can close Florida second mortgage hard money loans in 2-14 days, though Florida transactions typically require 3 weeks to close due to state-specific title requirements.
Do I need perfect credit for a Florida second mortgage hard money loan?
No, we accept all levels of income and credit, with credit rarely being a reason for loan denial. The loan approval is based primarily on property equity and value rather than creditworthiness.
What properties qualify for Florida second mortgage hard money loans?
Eligible properties include residential single-unit and multi-unit homes, condos, apartments, and commercial real estate located in Florida. The property must have sufficient equity and meet our loan-to-value requirements.
