Commercial Loan Referral Program

From the desk of Massey Kouhssari - Creative Funding

posted Feb 14, 2012 12:09 PM by Massey kouhssari

As you all know, sometimes we have to be creative to get loans done in this market. One of the most critical aspects of any loan is the Loan to Value ratio, and there are often options for reducing the LTV to make the deal more attractive.

For purchases, the seller carry back is a great strategy. We all know that it is a buyer’s market, so a motivated seller is going to have to really entice those buyers. In some instances, the seller will simply accept that the market demands a lower price. And under the right circumstances, the seller could be willing to carry back 20% or more of the purchase price as a note in 2nd position. This opens up a lot more financing options.

Sometimes if a deal is close, but just a little high on the LTV, brokers will allow us to hold their fees in one of our client trust accounts until certain conditions are met. With riskier development loans, it can make a big difference to the lender if that LTV is a few points lower. By carrying fees in this manner, it gives the lender additional security if the deal goes bad. If the broker is confident in the project, and has the ability to hold off on those fees, it can sometimes make the difference between a pass and an approval to fund. 

Another option is to cross collateralize an additional property. If the borrower is able, putting up an additional property can potentially lower the LTV. At the very least, it will add security to the loan, and show the lender an increased level of commitment by putting more skin in the game.

Week of February 13,2012
 

Mortgage bond prices were only slightly higher last week which kept mortgage interest rates in check.  The Greek debt restructuring talks dominated trading.  Greece was pushed to enact austerity measures in an effort to restructure their current debt and avoid default but those talks stalled without any action and default fears continued as of late Friday.  Lower than expected weekly jobless claims resulted in a spike in rates Thursday morning.  Weaker than expected consumer sentiment data, considerably weaker stocks, and news that the S&P downgraded several Italian banks Friday helped bond prices recover. Mortgage bonds ended the week unchanged to better by 1/8 of a discount point. 

Fundamental Week

The abundance of fundamental data this week provides a good opportunity for mortgages to improve. If the data shows weakness in the economy with little or no inflationary pressures then it is possible for mortgage bonds to rally resulting in mortgage interest rate decreases. However, if the data shows that the economy continues to rebound or any significant signs of inflation, mortgage bonds may fall pushing mortgage interest rates higher. Mortgage interest rates remain historically favorable despite some recent increases.  Now is a great time to avoid the uncertainty surrounding continued market volatility.  Remember, the future is uncertain with so much global economic instability. Euro troubles have helped rates here at home.  Any signs of stability in that region could reverse the flight to quality buying of US debt that has helped rates stay low.  Caution is key.

Daily Mortgage Update

Treasury prices are surging higher this morning as yesterday's optimism on a new Greek debt deal fades. The Dec trade deficit widened to $48.8bln, largest since June of last year. Lastly, Fed Chairman Bernanke is scheduled to speak before the National Association of Homebuilders in Orlando at 12:30PM eastern.

Currently, the 10yr yield is at 1.979% (2.036% Thursday) and the 2-10 yield spread is at 172bps, 6bps flatter since yesterday morning.

An offer so good, our lawyers won't let us put it in a subject line.
