So ensure to go to biggerpockets.com/roadshow and reserve your spot right this moment.

Ashley Kehr:Let’s begin with the very fundamentals. Are you able to clarify what non-public cash is? How does this differ from exhausting cash and different sort of standard lending?

James Dainard:In order buyers, entry to liquidity and capital, cash is crucial for development. Usually while you’re shopping for a repair and flip property or a bur property, more often than not when buyers are shopping for worth add, they’re utilizing a tough cash lender. Now these lenders although are extra institutional like the place they’ve much more pointers in guidelines and rules like a standard financial institution. They’re slightly bit simpler to work with, slightly bit faster than a standard financial institution, however they nonetheless have these pointers and oftentimes they’re elevating capital after they’re lending that out. A non-public cash lender is somebody that’s extra of a person that makes up their very own guidelines on each totally different kind of mortgage. And so usually it’s a particular person who’s going to lend the cash to a different investor and never be utilizing a much bigger establishment. And so it’s a non-public person who’s financing the acquisition or the rehab or in our case, I finance the whole lot.

Ashley Kehr:So one factor you stated there was that they get to decide on their phrases because the non-public cash lender.

James Dainard:So I’m slightly bit distinctive as a result of we personal a standard exhausting cash enterprise the place we have now pointers that we’d lend on and people pointers are that our borrower must convey 15% down on the venture. We need to see some pores and skin within the recreation. Now, as a non-public cash lender, I’m not utilizing establishment banks and different individuals’s cash to run that firm. It’s my very own cash and I lend it out of my very own checking account or my very own 401k. And since I’m the precise lender, I could make no matter guidelines up I would like relying on whether or not it’s a more moderen investor, I would need some extra money down whether or not I’m going into second place or whether or not I’ll do these or not, and I get to guage the deal. Actually for myself, the extra danger in a deal I’m going to lend slightly bit increased, the much less danger I’m going to lend slightly bit much less. And so it permits me to do no matter I would like with my very own capital. And there’s no normal construction. I do each deal slightly bit totally different.

Ashley Kehr:What would you say a median rate of interest when it comes to a deal that you simply’re doing proper now? So possibly an investor that has some expertise but it surely’s their first time coming to you, what would you say a typical deal sort of seems like?

James Dainard:It sort of relies on mortgage to worth and pores and skin within the recreation or cash that the buyers bringing in. However on my typical mortgage the place it’s only a first place mortgage, I’m normally charging about 12% and two factors for my funds. So if I’m lending out 100 grand and it goes for a yr, I’m going to make roughly $12,000 in curiosity and $2,000 in factors. Now if I’m going right into a second place, which is riskier, I cost much more as a result of the extra danger within the deal the extra I’m going to cost. And so I normally cost about 15 to 16% on these loans, but it surely actually comes right down to who the operator is, who’s shopping for the property, how skilled they’re, after which modify the curiosity

Ashley Kehr:Charge. James, earlier than we go any additional, are you able to sort of clarify what a primary place lien is and a second place lien and the way they differ?

James Dainard:Yeah, there’s a giant distinction between first and second place lien. So when somebody’s buying a property, they’re going to herald a down cost. There’s all the time going to be what they name the senior lender, and that’s the place if I’m bringing in let’s say 10% down on a purchase order, that lender’s financed me 90%. So they’re really within the title chain as the primary place lender for the acquisition. When that property sells, they’re the primary lender to receives a commission off. So let’s say the lender lends me $80,000 and I promote that property for 100 thousand {dollars} it doesn’t matter what earlier than I see my cash or anybody behind that lender, they’re getting paid off first, so that they’re within the most secure attainable place. The second lender, which is a riskier place, is when somebody is available in they usually funds behind that senior lender, which goes to imply that they’re going to receives a commission off second on the transaction. So in that very same situation, if I promote that property for 90,000 and my first place lender was 80, they receives a commission off in full. But when my second place lender in a riskier spot has a $20,000 second, they’d solely get the primary 10,000. And they also receives a commission again second behind the primary, and that’s why it’s slightly bit riskier place.

Ashley Kehr:So now while you’re structuring such a deal, you aren’t getting fairness within the property. Are you able to clarify what the benefits and downsides are of being only a non-public cash lender of taking up the debt of the deal in comparison with in case you really associate with someone and have fairness within the deal?

James Dainard:And I really do each. As an investor or passive investor, I do each for a pair causes. While you’re lending out and also you’re simply being a lender the place you’re financing the deal and also you’re charging an rate of interest factors in phrases that mortgage, I’ve a private assure signed on that mortgage. And so in case you, on the mortgage we did, in case you went into default and also you didn’t pay me again and it bought for lower than what I lent you to for, I might have debt that I can nonetheless challenge and go get the cash again for. And so the large distinction is is you’re assured your price in return. Once I’m lending you cash, I do know what my rate of interest is, I do know what my factors, that are the origination factors, that’s while you’re charging a proportion of the word steadiness as a price, as a processing price.And when that deal sells, regardless of whether or not it makes cash or loses cash, I will probably be paid again in full for my full mortgage phrases. Now as an fairness lender, which is slightly bit totally different or a three way partnership associate, it’s once I are available in and I finance your deal and I possibly don’t make any curiosity on the property and I’m making a proportion of the revenue. Now in that situation, in case you promote that property and let’s say it loses cash, I’m the lender that truly takes the loss, not you because the operator. If I take that loss, I’m not going to have a private assure in opposition to you too. It’s my danger within the deal. The profit to fairness is you usually will make quite a bit increased return. On my three way partnership fairness loans, I usually will make about 23 to 24% as a substitute of 12, but when the deal goes unhealthy, it’s my duty not the operators. And in order that’s the large distinction is as a tough cash lender that costs simply charges factors and curiosity, you’re assured your price in factors so long as the borrower pays you again with fairness, you’re investing within the property and so that you’re risking that return extra.

Dave Meyer:This week’s greater information is delivered to you by the Fundrise Flagship fund, spend money on non-public market actual property with the Fundrise flagship fund. Try fundrise.com/pockets to be taught extra.

Ashley Kehr:Let’s go into an instance and let’s use one of many offers that I’ve achieved with you to sort of share the method of what this seems like. So the very first thing is I’ve to have a deal and you’ve got the cash. So are you able to clarify what you need from someone after they’re asking for cash? So what are the issues that you simply’re taking a look at on the property to find out the danger? And in case you ought to lend on the property, what ought to they’ve ready and prepared?

James Dainard:Nicely, the very first thing is I need to take a look at them greater than even the deal. As a lender, I need to know who the operator is, what their expertise is, and in case you’re going to ask individuals to borrow cash, then put together a resume. And people resumes ought to have in there previous deal expertise. What’s your background in actual property? In case you’ve achieved offers, how did these appear like little mini case research? These are very useful for me as a lender to go, okay, this particular person is aware of what they’re doing, even when there’s a nasty deal, that’s factor to place within the resume. Hey, this deal went unhealthy and that is what I did to repair it. That’s actually what I need to see first, who’s the borrower? How skilled are they? And likewise heat ’em up guys, in case you’re asking for cash, get to know the particular person.Don’t simply are available in, straighten the DM field going, Hey, you need to lend me some cash? You bought to heat up. The subsequent factor that I search for as a lender is, okay, so I acquired operator. Perhaps it’s even a brand new operator, however what does that deal appear like? And so what I’m most involved with when I’m taking a look at a mortgage is what’s the mortgage to worth? What’s the buy worth of the property? How a lot are they requesting for on the mortgage? After which what’s that property probably value? As a result of that’s my mitigation in opposition to danger. That’s how I can cut back the danger on this deal. The borrower or the investor must submit to indicate what that property’s value to make somebody like me really feel comfy. I’m lending cash with you, I lend it in New York. I don’t know New York that properly so far as values go, however I can check out the comparables for the home.What do these appear like? How shut are they? How lengthy did it take ’em to promote? After which I request a scope of labor. I need to know a element of what you’re doing to that property within the upgrades and what that’s going to value. As a result of if I’m lending cash, and even when I’m lending out 100 thousand, the property’s value 200,000. If the rehab is 150,000, that’s an issue as a result of they’re going to be properly within the purple. And the way are they going to pay me again in the event that they’re going that far of a price range or it’s by no means going to have the ability to be bought and get my a reimbursement? And so I’m actually trying on the mortgage to worth. The mortgage to worth is on mortgage quantity, the rehab funds getting in your complete value buy worth, rehab, after which what’s that property value fastened up? And usually I need to be at the very least a 30% unfold. So I desire a 70% to 75% max mortgage to worth as a result of if the market goes down or one thing occurs with that operator, there’s nonetheless fairness within the property the place I can rent it, determine it out, repair it up, and promote it and never take a loss.

Ashley Kehr: what I’m going to do for everybody is I’m going to add the comparable worksheet that I used once I despatched my offers to you as to love right here’s the comparables within the space. So you possibly can go to biggerpockets.com/sources and also you’ll have the ability to see each line merchandise as to what I confirmed as to right here’s how this home is totally different or related. After which the opposite factor you had me do was submit a really detailed scope of labor too and what the price of that scope of labor can be, every line merchandise, what the fee is just too. And I feel that in all probability helps you determine the danger as if someone simply sends you rehab home $50,000 ish in comparison with right here’s an in depth breakdown that I put along with my contractor, what the fee will probably be if they really have a contingency or not in place too. So possibly you might go over what are a few of the purple flags that you simply see when lending? What are a few of the stuff you stated? No,

James Dainard:The extra detailed you’re submitting this mortgage request, it reveals me how you’re as an individual, how do you run your job web site, how skilled you’re. And so if somebody reaches out and the very first thing is, Hey James, you need to lend me cash? That’s my first purple flag. I’m like, I don’t even know you. That’s simply unusual to me as an investor. The second purple flag is once I’m trying on the comps they usually’re actually distant. So I attempt to follow appraisers guidelines the place I’m sticking inside 1 / 4 mile, half mile or a mile. In the event that they solely have one worth and it’s a mile away, properly the place’s all the opposite information factors within the gross sales which might be round my home? As a result of that’s slightly bit uncommon. The second factor is I need to know that detailed scope of labor, an in depth scope of labor, placing in paint carpet cupboards, that is what I’m doing and right here’s really what I’m placing within the property. And so simply vagueness is all the time the most important purple flag to me as a result of in case you’re not ready and sending it to me within the right manner, it means you’re not going to have the ability to run your job web site that properly as properly. And so I’m all the time trying on the information factors. Is there sufficient? Are they utilizing appraiser guidelines? Is their scope of labor an in depth breakdown or is it sort of throwing mud on the wall?

Ashley Kehr:So this property that I had introduced to Jimmy was a single household property. It was three beds, two baths. It was in a cute little neighborhood. It was positively a starter residence per se. And this was going to be the primary flip that I had ever achieved alone with with out James as a associate. So James had skilled me, I’d achieved a pair offers with him in Washington, and now it was time to unfold my wings and exit alone. So I employed an amazing contractor that I had used earlier than for different properties and this property, I used to be really a pocket itemizing. So my agent known as me and stated, Hey, I’ve this particular person, they’ve come to me and their mother handed away. It’s two sisters, they should promote this property. I instructed them that you simply may be if you may get near what they need.They’d reasonably simply promote it and never listing it and need to take care of showings and issues like that. So I went and noticed the property. We negotiated backwards and forwards slightly bit. One of many issues that I all the time love to do once I’m coping with an property is provide for them to depart the whole lot and I’ll care for that. And that was an enormous profit for them as a result of each sisters lived out of city. They didn’t actually have any connections within the space or something and simply needed be achieved. In order that was one of many large issues. We made the deal work. So I used to be capable of get that underneath contract. After which that’s the place James got here in and we negotiated the phrases of him lending on this property. So for this property, we did two factors and 12% curiosity, and the curiosity within the factors had been rolled and wrapped into the mortgage to be paid in full. Once I bought the deal on the finish of the six months time period, no matter got here sooner, six months or once I closed on the deal.

James Dainard:And I’ll say that I don’t do this time period for each kind of borrower, however the longer relationship that I invoice with a borrower or an investor, that’s the place I lent you the factors and the curiosity had been all paid off on the finish. So you actually had no cash out of your pocket on this deal.

Ashley Kehr:You probably did 100% financing of the acquisition worth. In order that was 161,500. I paid the true property fee of 8,500. That was a part of my take care of them is that I might pay the complete fee on the property, which is 8,500. I paid that out of pocket. After which I paid the rehab on the property too, which was about 50,000.

James Dainard:And since you got here out of pocket with the rehab, that retains my mortgage to worth down. And in order that’s the place I can defer my curiosity in factors as a result of what I’m taking a look at is that if I need to be beneath that 70% mortgage to worth while you buy that property at 60%, I can put the factors on the finish, I can put the curiosity on the finish. However as soon as we begin getting near that 70%, that’s the place I’m going to need you to make that month-to-month cost and even possibly prepay your factors as a result of that’s my guideline is be beneath this debt ratio. So it protects me as a lender.

Ashley Kehr:And I must say it was really fairly near the six month deadline. I feel there was per week left when that occurred. So we had had some conversations about what occurs if I don’t shut. However one factor I did do, and I like to recommend in case you are nervous about taking non-public cash lending and also you need to ensure you pay someone again, have a line of credit score or have entry to different funds that you might use. So in my state of affairs, I didn’t need to have to make use of my line of credit score, however I used to be going to have the ability to use my line of credit score to repay James after which simply anticipate the deal to shut there ended up being one thing, a difficulty with the sump pump inspection that delayed our closing by virtually three weeks, which pushed our timeline again. So I feel that’s sort of like a security knot as a result of for a very long time I solely had one non-public cash lender and it was principally like, right here’s a examine, and it was a one piece of paper settlement, no liens, something like that on the property. And it took me some time to be like, okay, if I need to develop and scale, I’ve to search out different individuals that may lend me cash.

James Dainard:And I extremely advise for everybody to not lend cash like her final non-public cash lending as a result of it’s a must to defend your self. And so after we did our mortgage, I secured my cash, I used to be capable of lend you the cash to get your buy achieved. I’m making an amazing return for me, which is 12%, two factors. You completely crushed the deal, so it was definitely worth the expense of the cash. However then you definately nonetheless have to guard your self simply signing a assure or a promissory word with the flipper or the investor. That’s dangerous as a result of if that particular person simply goes into chapter 11 or one thing actually occurs or a lien hits them, that non-public assure isn’t that good. So what you all the time need to do can also be file the fitting paperwork in opposition to the property to guard the mortgage. And so I all the time file a word and deed of belief, which is the phrases of the mortgage, what we’re agreeing to when it’s due, if there’s an extension, what does that appear like?Is there a value for it? Is there a better rate of interest? So everybody is aware of the phrases of the mortgage after which it’s filed with a word and deed of belief and a promissory word and it’s recorded in opposition to title and it all the time closes with title insurance coverage. It’s very, essential as a lender, the mortgage must be insured as a result of if I simply lend you that cash and there’s no insurance coverage, and let’s say there’s a giant lawsuit as a result of it was a fraud sale or it was one thing that might unwind the entire deal, my cash isn’t going to be protected. And so having the fitting paperwork is crucial on this enterprise.

Ashley Kehr:We’re going to take a brief break, however after we come again, we’re going to speak extra with James on how one can defend your self as a non-public cash lender. Welcome again. Thanks a lot for becoming a member of us. And don’t overlook to go to biggerpockets.com/bp as a result of James and I’ll each be there this yr and we’ll really be sharing a stage along with his venture supervisor drilling him on the whole lot it is advisable to learn about doing a rehab. So we’d find it irresistible to see you guys there. Head over to biggerpockets.com/convention to seize your ticket. Okay, so James, what are another purple flags or issues that try to be doing to guard your self when you’re giving out non-public cash?

James Dainard:Earlier than you challenge a mortgage, you need to take a look at the borrower, you need to take a look at the underwriting, however then you definately additionally need to overview the title, what’s occurring with the title and who’s the escrow firm closing it? And as a non-public cash lender, I’m financing offers in all various kinds of states. New York, Arizona, Florida, Texas, California. Every a type of states has totally different rules and lending legal guidelines, and it’s actually vital that you simply perceive what the lending legal guidelines are earlier than you challenge cash.

Ashley Kehr:And the place do you discover that out? What’s one of the simplest ways to determine these legal guidelines and rules on your state?

James Dainard:So that you all the time can get a fast background on the web, however I all the time rent an legal professional per state to offer me a rundown of how lending works, what’s the default course of if I have to undergo that with the private assure? How are the paperwork recorded with our mortgage? It was a distinct construction that I wasn’t used to, however the legal professional might stroll me via the method, what’s the distinction? How does that work within the default? How is it recorded and the way is my cash protected? And so that you all the time need to rent an legal professional to do all your paperwork that’s domestically in that state. Don’t exit of state. Use the professionals that know what they’re doing. One other particular person that you simply all the time need domestically too is an area dealer as a result of you possibly can rent a dealer to do a BPO for you on a property with the scope of labor. And as I’m lending cash in let’s say Arkansas or New York, I don’t know that market. I do know the whole lot else. And so I all the time prefer to have a 3rd celebration give me their very own dealer’s worth opinion that’s separated from the investor to allow them to give me some trustworthy suggestions on what the property is.

Ashley Kehr:I used to be simply trying up what the price was, the legal professional price for you on the mortgage facet for doing the mortgage in New York, and it was $150, which was then added to my prices for the mortgage. So I imply, you assume within the realm of issues of hiring an legal professional to symbolize you $150 is definitely worth the safety of getting to try this. And also you’re not even paying it. You’re wrapping it in in order that the particular person you’re lending to is including that to their mortgage.

James Dainard:And that’s one thing I all the time inform any investor is like, Hey, if I’m getting new within the state and I’m hiring the legal professional, I move these charges alongside to ’em as a result of I don’t need to lend my cash out at 12% they usually get feed as much as do it and I’m actually making 10 as a result of I’ve a sure danger tolerance that I would like for me to lend you cash. I need to make at the very least 12% or I’d reasonably simply make investments it elsewhere.

Ashley Kehr:Okay, so let’s transfer on to you because the borrower for personal cash. Have you ever achieved offers the place you’ve really taken another person’s non-public cash?

James Dainard:Oh sure, positively. Particularly in 2008, 9 and 10 or eight, 9 after the recession. There was not some huge cash on the market. Laborious cash lenders not like there’s right this moment. Your typical exhausting cash lender needed 25 to 30% down they usually had been going to be 12% and 4 factors. And we didn’t have some huge cash. We had misplaced some huge cash, and so we wanted higher leverage. And so for the primary yr out of the recession, I financed all non-public cash with a person and it was costly. He would give me one hundred percent of financing and 50% of the rehab value, if not one hundred percent, but it surely was 4 factors at 18% curiosity. However for us it was a value to the deal. We had to do that to sort of develop the enterprise and it was one of the best factor we ever did.

Ashley Kehr:And doubtless your rivals had been getting the identical. So it wasn’t like a competitor was getting manner higher rates of interest the place you had been shedding out on offers as a result of the phrases had been so terrible. That looks like it was sort of the usual at the moment.

James Dainard:And that was positively when the vibe of actual property was prefer it had leprosy too. Nobody needed it after 2008, actually. I imply I might have had a free home and folks had been like, get that away from me. It was simply individuals had a nasty expertise with actual property. And so it was positively quite a bit much less aggressive. There was much more alternatives, however the revenue and the margins had been manner smaller. And in order that was the factor we had to concentrate to. Revenue was small, the danger was excessive out there, after which we had this very costly debt, and in order that’s how we acquired going out of the recession and finally we saved up our cash might get cheaper cash. However right this moment we nonetheless use non-public financing. There’s a bunch of various ways in which we use it. I don’t use it as a lot on our flip tasks, however we are going to herald companions if we want extra capital, if we have now a variety of tasks occurring, I can increase the debt on the property.Usually after we’re shopping for, we’re placing 15% down on the entire venture, we put down our money. However as we see higher alternatives and if there’s a house run deal in entrance of me and I don’t have the money, I’ll name a non-public lender that I do know they usually’ll give me that second fairly shortly by constructing that long-term relationship. And so it offers you entry to liquidity and money while you want it. And that’s the factor, you by no means need to abuse debt. You by no means need to abuse cash. You might want to be very cautious of while you ask for it or not ask for it. But it surely’s important for development. If we have now a house run deal and I don’t have the money, I acquired to borrow that cash. And so we nonetheless use it right this moment, A number of what we do it for is even on our growth tasks, they’re greater, they require additional cash. We pay our lenders a pref price they usually can get slightly portion of the fairness or they’ll get a better price. And so it actually is crucial for development in our actual property house.

Ashley Kehr:So would you say that while you’re deciding on debt companions or fairness companions after they’re bringing the capital, is it primarily based on what your present state of affairs is with your individual enterprise funds, when you have the cash for the deal or not, and likewise the property kind or what the deal is. Is it very a lot case by case or do you’ve got sort of set parameters of that is the situation I tackle fairness companions? That is the situation I tackle debt companions.

James Dainard:The explanation it is best to do take a look at each, as a result of individuals ask me that on a regular basis. They’re like, why do you tackle fairness companions? You’re simply giving freely the revenue and also you’re pretty skilled. You’ve entry to capital. So why would you do this? Proper? As a result of if I can borrow the cash at 12%, why would I give away a portion of my fairness and quit extra on that? However there’s a profit to it. So one is that debt is debt. So I can say anyone that lends me cash, I’ll pay it again a technique, form or kind. They’ll receives a commission again in entire with an fairness associate. They’re partnering with me on the home and if one thing goes incorrect and let’s say I’ve 10 tasks going on the identical time and the market drops 20% for no matter purpose, 2008 occurs. Once more, if all 10 of these are in debt and I’ve to put in writing a examine for $50,000 on every a type of homes, I’m going to owe 500 grand by the point I’m achieved promoting these homes and I’ve a giant gap to enter.If I’ve 5 in debt, then I owe 250,000. And my fairness companions sadly, are taking the hit, however that’s sort of what they signed up for. And so it’s a technique to steadiness danger since you don’t need to get too heavy into one bucket, and that’s why I all the time steadiness it out. Now what I do with fairness companions is I’m actually large on long-term relationships. So actually in case you’re placing fairness with me, it’s a must to do different varieties of mortgage situations for us as a result of for me, I can improve my lenders expertise with us by giving them an amazing return on a repair and flip, however then additionally they give me entry to possibly 10% cash on various kinds of loans. And so it permits me to cut back my value of cash once I borrow, but in addition get my lender and my associate a extremely good return. And so it’s a extremely win-win image. And in order that’s why I love to do each as a result of it retains a associate for a extremely very long time. Most people that I do borrow exhausting cash from or non-public cash from, they’ve been companions of ours for over 5, 10 years. I don’t want one million lenders.
