Frequently Asked Questions
Does New Silver offer short term loans and long term loans?
Yes. New Silver is a private lender that offers short term loan products for house flipping projects, but we also have 30 year rental property loans for investment properties. We also cater to real estate entrepreneurs hoping to build multi-family apartments with our new construction loans.
Is New Silver A Private Money Lender?
Yes, we are a direct lender that provides asset-based loans at scale. With asset-based lending, the underwriting process can be more lenient than conventional lenders. This is because the underlying value of the asset is more important than the financial background of the investor when setting the terms of the real estate loan. As a result, the financing and credit score requirements are less stringent, income verification is not needed and the debt-to-income ratio of the borrower doesn’t matter. Plus, we can get you approved and closed within 7 days.
Do you offer new construction loans?
Yes. We offer ground-up construction loans for real estate developers that build single family (1-4 unit) residential properties.
Does New Silver offer bridge loans?
Yes. Our fix and flip loans can act as a bridge loan for real estate investors from 12 to 24 months in duration. More information can be found on the loan products page.
Why do hard money loans have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages?
The main reason hard money loans have higher interest rates than conventional loans is because of the risks involved in the transaction. Unlike a residential home purchase, a fix and flip project could run over budget or the real estate market could take a turn for the worse, making the property difficult to sell quickly.
In other words, you could potentially lose money with a fix and flip. This risk is applicable to the borrower and the private lender. The higher mortgage rates compensate for this risk, and help explain why traditional lenders will generally reject applications for a house flip loan.
How do you calculate the origination fee and monthly payments?
The origination fee (loan points) is usually between 2-3% of the loan amount, but this varies based on the loan term, the ltv, the interest rate and the experience of the investor. To work out the expected monthly payments, it is best to use our hard money loan calculator.
On this point, it is also worth noting that the monthly payment of each New Silver hard money loan program works on interest only payments. This helps reduce the cash flow burdens of the investor while the project is underway, and it is another major benefit of private lending.
Does Credit Score Matter?
In short, yes. While our credit requirements of a private money lender are not as stringent as a traditional lender, we do review the credit history of all our borrowers and private investors. If you’re worried about bad credit, it is best to look at our loan products page to see if New Silver is a good fit for your needs.
