Can Builders Get Spec Home Financing from Arizona Hard Money Lenders?

Finding a loan to fund a speculative home isn’t as easy as it used to be, but it’s still possible, even if your financial specs are less than stellar. We’ll tell you how to do it and give you a few things to consider.

The housing market crash and the subsequent recession did a real number on the lending industry. Shady practices of the past led to new regulations such as the Dodd-Frank Act, and that has left conventional lenders (like the big banks) more than a little gun shy when it comes to doling out money for spec homes. So if you want to start building these days, you’re out of luck, right?

Not so fast. While getting Arizona Spec Home Financing the old fashioned way may have gone the way of the dinosaur, there are still private lenders who are willing to wade into the waters. Arizona Hard Money Loans aren’t subject to all the complicated underwriting and stringent restrictions of bank loans. They’re more concerned with your plans and your collateral.

How to Get Hard Money Arizona Spec Home Financing

If you decide that Arizona Spec Home Financing in the form of a Arizona Hard Money Loan is the right choice for your situation, there are a few things to speak about with your lender:

● Talk about location. It’s the oldest axiom in the real estate business — location, location, location. And that holds true for spec home building as well. Make sure your geographic location makes your investment a wise choice.

● Talk about the process. As a builder, you’re already familiar with sticking to a budget and staying on schedule. Part of that involves learning about the ins and outs of the loan process. How long will it take to be approved? How long before the funds are available?

● Talk about rates and fees. Any hard money lender worth his or her salt will be upfront about the rates they can get and the fees they’ll charge. Ask for a breakdown so you know how to fit it into your budget.

● Talk about the loan structure. Here’s where a hard money lender can really shine. Unlike banks, where the structure is essentially written in stone, a hard money lender can work with you to tailor your terms to fit the unique circumstances of your investment.
