How does Del Mar Financial & Investments, L.L.C. calculate Loan-to-Value?
We conduct our own property inspection and appraisal (excluding commercial loans). We calculate our loan to value based off of our own value assessment. This is a benefit to our borrowers for two reasons. First, our appraisal fee is typically lower than the appraisal fee of a third-party. Second, it rewards the borrower for finding a good deal. If we conclude that the value of the property is higher than what the borrower will pay for it, then it will reduce the amount of the down payment at closing.
Does it matter what the source of the down payment is?
We do not put limits on the source of the down payment. This allows for down payments to be gifted. We also offer blanket loans (cross-collateralization), which gives the borrower the option of using equity in one property to secure the purchase of another.
Will I qualify if I have a bankruptcy/ foreclosure/ short sale?
We have been able to finance borrowers with a number of situations that including bankruptcy, foreclosure, and short sales. We are an asset-based lender, meaning that we underwrite our loans based on the borrower’s equity in the subject property, and their ability to repay the loan. This simple, common sense approach means that a bankruptcy, foreclosure, or short sale will not stand in the way of you achieving your goal.
Is there a limit to the number of properties you will secure?
There are no preset limits on the number of properties we will secure. We offer blanket loans (cross-collateralization), which gives the borrower the option of purchasing new property without having to tap into their cash reserves.
Are there limits on the size of your loans?
Our minimum loan size is $50,000. Our maximum loans size is typically $3 million, however, exceptions can be made on a case by case basis.
