    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.

    Who Typically Uses a Hard Money Loan

    • Business owners looking to pull cash out of existing properties
    • People who want to close quickly
    • Borrowers who have multiple properties looking to cross collateralize
    • Investors looking to purchase rental properties
    • Investors who buy, repair, and immediately resell their property (Flippers)
    • Borrowers who cannot refinance with a traditional bank
    • Builders and more…

    San Francisco Hard Money Lender – Winning The Real Estate Bidding War

    San Francisco the nation’s fifth-most densely populated county, is culturally diverse and serves as the financial center of Northern California. Home to the world’s most innovative industries, the Bay Area economy is growing at a rate three times faster than the rest of the country, generating $781 billion in gross domestic product in 2016. Neighboring Silicon Valley lays claim to the world’s largest high-tech corporations, including the headquarters of 39 businesses in the Fortune 1000 and thousands of startup companies.

    Let’s take a look at the San Francisco, CA market summary from 2022

    • The median rent for all bedrooms and all property types in San Francisco, CA is $3,600
    • In the last year, rent has increased by $305 compared to the previous year
    • Rent in San Francisco, CA is 71% higher than the national median.

    The Bay Area’s housing market is hot. With a low housing supply and high demand, people are bidding up the price and homes are selling way over the listing price. It’s the perfect storm. According to a report by Zillow, 68.5% of homes sold went for more than the asking price. So how do you compete in this market?

    Consider private money

    Given the intense competition between buyers, sellers are increasingly requiring all-cash offers. Furthermore, sellers are also shortening escrow lengths and less willing to grant extensions. Obtaining a hard money loan from a private money lending institution can help in this scenario.

    Getting a pre-approval letter from a San Francisco hard money lender can strengthen your position and help you win the bidding war. Unlike traditional lenders, private money lending institutions focus more on a property’s equity 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 San Francisco 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 considering credit score and debt-to-income levels. Wilshire Quinn takes pride in its common-sense, equity-based lending. Wilshire Quinn is a San Francisco hard money lender with a strong track record. Thanks to years of experience, we are equipped to handle even the most complicated of lending scenarios, and care more about the real estate you are purchasing or refinancing than inflexible bank requirements.

    Working with Wilshire Quinn was an absolute pleasure from to start to finish. Working as a broker for a client with a vacant building Matt, Chris, and Jeremy were quick to answer all questions, clear in the items they needed and were able to work with us to see a successful completion of the deal. I can’t sing their praises highly enough for the ease at which everything went on what was a tricky deal, and I’m very much looking forward to working with them again in the future. If you’re hesitant for any reason, don’t worry. Wilshire Quinn is a top-notch group filled professional, courteous, and great people.

    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.

Hard money loans are typically short-term ranging from six months up to two years.
