The Intrust Borrower Advantage:

Cash on hand without money out of pocket;
Maintain cash position during investment process;
Quick hard money loan process, with no bank red tape;
Credit score is not a significant factor;
Find funding for difficult to fund projects.

Not Traditional Lenders: Intrust Funding is Western Washington’s Most Trusted Private Money Lender

Unlike a conventional loan or conventional mortgage, our types of loans take into consideration LTV ratios. Loan to Value (LTV) is how loan terms are decided for private lenders like Intrust Funding. It is defined as the ratio of the loan amount to investment property’s After Repair Value (ARV). And unlike conventional lenders, where origination fees for mortgages sit between .5% and 1% of the loan amount, origination fees for hard money loans can differ depending on the lender. Another difference is that hard money loans cannot fund properties that are owner occupied. This is a restriction every hard money lender follows.

Our unmatched ability to understand client needs and counsel investors before, during, and after the hard money loan process is just one of the many reasons why our borrowers become partners.

What Is a Hard Money Lender?

A hard money lender is a private lender who funds real estate investments with cash loans. Real estate investors love hard money lenders. Why? In part it’s because the types of loans, the application process, and the short term loans offered through hard money.

Funding Criteria:

Unlike traditional lenders who use credit scores or personal finances, hard money lenders fund the purchase price or rehab cost of an investment property based on loan-to-value ( or LTV ratios). This means they will lend up to a certain percentage of a property’s current market value. Others lend based on a property’s after repair value (ARV), which is the expected value of the property after renovations are complete. This is a core component to hard money lending, because it allows lenders to fund loans for investors with less than stellar credit histories, since lenders are primarily concerned with the asset being financed rather than the borrower’s financial history.

For Real Estate Investors:

Although loan terms and interest rates differ between different companies, another difference to conventional loans is that hard money loans can only fund non-owner occupied investments. Because Intrust Funding is founded by real estate investors for real estate investors, the focus of lending is on real estate investments particularly, and not on owner-occupied properties.

Short Term Loans:

Because a hard money loan is a short term financing option, it is sometimes referred to as a “bridge loan.” Hard money lenders like Intrust Funding require exit strategies before a loan can be funded. Typically these involve the real estate investor either using a “buy and hold” strategy, where the investment property is bought, renovated, and held, in order to rent out. Another common strategy is the “fix and flip” strategy, where an investor buys a property and funds the renovation with a hard money loan, and then sells the property once renovations are complete. Some investors use a hard money loan as a construction loan to get renovations moving quickly and beat their repayment schedules by paying off their loans early. As a hard money lender, Intrust Funding does not penalize payoffs that happen ahead of schedule: we encourage it!

Simple Application
The application process is easy with quicker approval/disapproval times than conventional lenders like banks.
Financial Information
Less scrutiny of the borrower’s personal financial situation (including income and historical tax returns, etc.).
Property Focused
Perfect credit and substantial amounts of disposable income is not needed from borrowers, instead the focus is on the merits of the investment property.

Self Employment is OK
Self-employment is not seen as unacceptable to hard money lenders, whereas banks view self-employment negatively and prefer lending to professionals with very steady income.
Less Resources and Time
Borrowers can allocate less time to seeking financing and avoiding rejections by banks. The draw process at Intrust Funding is simple.
Rehab Funds
Hard money loans don’t just cover closing costs. You can also include the cost of renovations and repairs in your loan amount.

I was introduced to Carolyn and Intrust by my conventional lender when we needed to close quickly with a construction budget on a renovation project in Tacoma. We have done more deals since and they have proven to be a solid financial partner. Looking forward to more in the future!read more

Intrust Funding gave me a chance when nobody else would. Funded my project in just a few days. Experienced personal had solutions for difficult situations like mine. I tried many other companies. They wanted fees, lengthy appraisals, and didn't have the answers to deal with difficult home owners. Intrust funding changed the way I look at private lenders. They care about my success and help me achieve it. Thanks David Salfer ALL PROP INVESTMENTS LLCread more
