A self-employed real estate investor, facing challenges with conventional loan approval, successfully secured financing with Val-Chris Investments. We provided this borrower with a $200,000 commercial property loan in the City of Commerce for a 57.1 percent combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio.
Everything went smoothly and I felt as if I was one of their top clients. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The process was very quick, efficient and painless. I highly recommend Val Chris Investments. They are one of the best and most responsive professionals.
By partnering with Val-Chris, an LLC obtained a swift $150,000 loan for an owner-occupied, single-family residence in Victorville. The funds were strategically used for a flip project that resulted in substantial profit. We were pleased to facilitate fast, flexible investment property financing options to support this investment’s success.
I tried several big lending companies that advertise on the internet, some even specialized in my loan type, but I could not secure a loan for a 20 year established medical business serving the community, until I found Val-Chris. The staff worked so efficiently, with attention to detail. I wish I would have just started with Val-Chris Investments from the beginning.
We offer purchase and refinances transactions. Property types vary by state. We even offer owner-occupied loans in most states. They must all be for business purposes. Contact us with your scenario!
Send us the scenario, including property address, estimated value, proposed loan amount, info on any senior liens and an estimate of the borrower’s FICO credit score. From there, we will provide proposed terms. If you are interested in proceeding. we would provide next steps which include our disclosures package and info on how to order an appraisal.
Yes! Hard money loans primarily evaluate the equity within the property, more so than your qualifications as a borrower. So whether your credit is less than perfect, you are unable to provide proof of self-employed income or some other less than ideal factor that disqualifies you conventionally, you can still get a loan from us if the equity is sufficient.
Typically 1-3 years interest only with a balloon payment at maturity.
We offer hard money loans on all property types (depending on the state). Contact us to find out if your scenario works with what we can do!
Typically 5-14 business days from receipt of a full package and appraisal performed by one of our approved appraisers. Unlike other lenders, we won’t drag out the process. We understand you need your funds quickly and we work to make that happen!
We would be delighted to chat about your specific needs and goals.
