"John has done two very difficult loans for me now -- one on my apartment building and another on this recent investment property. The sellers we had to deal with for the purchases were very difficult and did nothing to make the process easy. John was always there, doing things in the background to make sure the transactions were closed. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a real advocate for obtaining a loan."

Construction Loans
Remodel Loans
FHA 203k Repair / Rehab Loans

Notes: "stated income" construction loans are no longer available. You must qualify with traditional income documentation and meet the lender's debt-income ratio requirements.

Residential construction loans include "One-Time-Close Construction" loans, "Construction-to-Perm" loans, and FHA 203k loans for owner-occupied 1-4 units. For California residential construction loans, we offer a few options:

Residential Ground-Up Construction Loans for borrowers using an outside contractor to build a primary, second, vacation home or investment property in California. Sorry -- no unlicensed "owner-builder" loans. Licensed builders with an operating general construction company with good credit and income can still qualify.

"One Time Close" Construction Loan
For those who have approved plans and a contract with a builder but have not yet purchased a lot, a One-Time-Close construction loan allows you to combine the lot, construction, and permanent financing into one financing package -- saving you thousands of dollars in costs over otherwise separate loans. The down payment required will vary depending on the loan amount, county the property is located in, and your personal credit qualifications.

"Construction-To-Perm" Loan
If you already own your lot and have approved plans and a contract with your builder you'll need a construction-perm loan in most cases. A construction-to-perm loan is a combination of two loans -- one for the construction of the home followed by permanent financing when the construction is completed. The equity you have in the lot counts towards the minimum cash requirement you need in the total project cost. This amount varies by loan amount, county the property is located in, and your personal qualifications. You'll need a minimum 20% or more equity in the total project cost to qualify. The interest rate during construction is often based on the Fed Prime Rate plus or minus a fixed margin percentage, with interest-only terms during construction. Sorry -- no unlicensed "owner-builder" loans at this time. Licensed builders with an operating general construction company with good credit and income can still qualify.

Private Money Jumbo Construction Loan
We still offer hard money jumbo construction loans over $1 million, provided there is a minimum 30% documented cash equity vested in the project based on total cost. Loan caps at 55% to 65% of finished value. Decent credit and a viable exit strategy required. Rates from 11.25% and minimum 4 points cost.

FHA "203k" Purchase and Rehab / Repair Loan
The FHA 203k loan program allows buyers to purchase or refinance a home and include the costs to rehab or repair the property in one loan. The FHA 203k loan program is ONLY available on owner-occupied 1-4 unit properties - it is not for investment property.

The FHA 203k loan program allows buyers of homes in need of repair or major rehabiltation to purchase a 1-4 unit residential property, including bank REOs, foreclosures, and short sales. Existing homeowners can also use the FHA 203k loan program to remodel and make improvements to an existing owner-occupied residence.

Eligible improvements include anything that becomes a permanent part of the property and adds value or is a health or safety issue. Luxury items such as pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, gazebos, BBQ pits, saunas, or additions to support commercial use are not allowed under the FHA 203k loan program.

The maximum FHA 203k loan amount is limited to FHA loan limits by county. 203k loans are based on the lesser of:

a) the sales price or "as is" appraised value PLUS repair/rehab costs MINUS any applicable sales concessions
OR
b) 110% of "as completed" value.

Interest rates and down payment follows FHA pricing, and the program is available to first-time home buyers. You may use a contractor for the work (recommended on major rehabs) or do the work yourself. A minimum 90 day escrow / close is required for the 203k loan.
