Hard money for a commercial land loan is becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain in
today's market. We can help with your land loans in general,
but our niche is Northern California commercial land loans. Depending on
the nature of the deal, we can also help with your commercial land
loan needs outside of the Northern California area.
Commercial land
loans are very loan to value driven. For commercial land
loans, we need the loan to value to be at or below 30%. Land
loans for parcels that have been purchased in the recent past are
typically going to use that purchase price as the land value basis
for computation of the loan to value.
The
exception to this rule on commercial land loans is if you have improved the
property. If you have improved the property since the
purchase, we can typically use a new appraised value for the base on
our land loan to value calculations. If you have a tentative
approved map, or even better, a final approved map, we will have
more options on your commercial land loan.
In
order to properly evaluate your commercial land loan request, there are a few
items of information we will need up front. If this is a land
loan refinance, we will need to know when you purchased the land,
how much you paid, as well as the structure of the existing land
loan on the property. In addition, if you have spent any money
out of pocket improving the land, we will want a line item breakdown
of those funds.
If
this is a purchase, the commercial land loan process is more straight-forward.
We will need to know the purchase price, how much money you have to
put down, and if the seller is willing to carry back a second behind
our land loan.
If
you are looking for a land loan to improve the property, or do the
horizontal or vertical construction, we will also need a contractors
bid for the work to be completed, with a line item breakdown of
costs. If you are able to have this information available
upfront, it will help your land loan process go much more smoothly.
We
can help with land loans in general, but prefer commercial land
loans, and even more specifically, Northern California commercial land loans.
In addition to a straight forward land loan, we can also offer
construction land loans, for both the horizontal and vertical
portions of your project.
