Obtaining a Hard Money Loan in Ventura

Ventura Coastline

Getting a Ventura hard money loan using Crescent Lenders is significantly easier and faster than being approved for a regular bank loan.

Numerous determining factors are involved in our underwriting process; however, none are more important than the loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of the real estate being used as collateral.

The higher the amount of equity a borrower has in a property, the more attractive it is for us as the lender to want to fund the deal.

Typically, the lower the LTV, the lower the risk for the Ventura hard money lender.

As lenders, our objective is to figure out:

  • if you have more than 25% equity in the property
  • have adequate experience (if performing a fix and flip)
  • have a feasible exit plan
  • are financially equipped to service the monthly payments

Other factors with lesser importance to our underwriting process include a borrower's creditworthiness, employment history, and income.

While these secondary factors are considered, they will not make or break the funding for your deal.

About Ventura County

Situated between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Ventura County is a coastal town in Southern California with roughly 1 million residents.

More than half of the city is made up of Los Padres National Forest, and most of the remaining land outside the forest is used for agricultural purposes.

Ventura County's Mediterranean climate, nice beaches, and sound school system make it a perfect place to raise a family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ventura Hard Money

What Is Hard Money?

What Is a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan, also known as a bridge, private, or gap loan, is secured by a "hard asset" like commercial, industrial, or residential real estate.

It is generally a short-term loan (6 to 60 months) issued by private or commercial investors.

Why Use a Hard Money Loan?

A hard money loan has advantages over a traditional bank loan:

  • the approval process is much faster (5 to 7 days vs 30 days)
  • fewer requirements
  • easier to qualify
  • flexible repayment schedules
  • better option for those with low credit scores, the self-employed, or with a difficult financial history, such as a foreclosure or bankruptcy
What Determines the Cost of a Hard Money Loan?
  • experience in the fix and flip industry
  • additional sources of income
  • your exit strategy from the loan
  • and most importantly, the underlying value of the hard asset
What Types of Clients Utlise This Product?

Our Lending Process

How Fast Can I Expect My Money?

From start to finish, the approval process can take as little as 5 to 7 business days.

How Do You Determine the Rate?

Rates are determined by:

  • the underlying value of the asset
  • the location of the asset
  • how much the borrower is putting down
  • credit score
  • additional sources of income
  • property type
How Do You Value a Property?

We will do your analysis from recently sold comparable properties and have an appraiser visit the property.

What Is the Approval Process?

The approval process involves a brief call with Russ to collect general background information regarding your financing needs and history.

After this pre-approval phone call, your information will be verified through our underwriting process.

Once verified, we will send you a term sheet. If you accept, you will receive the funds in your account.

What if My Credit Score Is Low?

While credit score is a factor, bad credit is not a deal breaker, as many factors are considered:

  • experience in the fix and flip industry
