So be sure 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 onerous cash and different type of standard lending?

James Dainard:
In order traders, entry to liquidity and capital, cash is important for development. Usually if you’re shopping for a repair and flip property or a bur property, more often than not when traders 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 tips in guidelines and rules like a standard financial institution. They’re just a little bit simpler to work with, just a little bit faster than a standard financial institution, however they nonetheless have these tips and oftentimes they’re elevating capital after they’re lending that out. A personal cash lender is somebody that’s extra of a person that makes up their very own guidelines on each completely different sort of mortgage. And so sometimes it’s a particular person who’s going to lend the cash to a different investor and never be utilizing an even bigger establishment. And so it’s a non-public person who’s financing the acquisition or the rehab or in our case, I finance every little thing.

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

James Dainard:
So I’m just a little bit distinctive as a result of we personal a standard onerous cash enterprise the place we have now tips that we’d lend on and people tips are that our borrower must carry 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 need relying on whether or not it’s a more recent investor, I’d need some more cash down whether or not I’m going into second place or whether or not I’ll do these or not, and I get to judge the deal. Really for myself, the extra danger in a deal I’m going to lend just a little bit greater, the much less danger I’m going to lend just a little bit much less. And so it permits me to do no matter I need with my very own capital. And there’s no normal construction. I do each deal just a little bit completely different.

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

James Dainard:
It type of relies on mortgage to worth and pores and skin within the recreation or cash that the traders bringing in. However on my typical mortgage the place it’s only a first place mortgage, I’m often 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 often cost about 15 to 16% on these loans, but it surely actually comes all the way down to who the operator is, who’s shopping for the property, how skilled they’re, after which regulate the curiosity

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

James Dainard:
Yeah, there’s an enormous distinction between first and second place lien. So when somebody’s buying a property, they’re going to usher in a down cost. There’s at all times 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, in order that they’re within the most secure doable place. The second lender, which is a riskier place, is when somebody is available in and so they 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 state of affairs, 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 just a little bit riskier place.

Ashley Kehr:
So now if you’re structuring the sort of deal, you aren’t getting fairness within the property. Are you able to clarify what the benefits and drawbacks are of being only a non-public cash lender of taking up the debt of the deal in comparison with in case you really accomplice with anyone 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 offered for lower than what I lent you to for, I might have debt that I can nonetheless concern and go get the cash again for. And so the massive distinction is is you’re assured your fee in return. After 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 if you’re charging a proportion of the be aware stability as a charge, as a processing charge.
And when that deal sells, irrespective of whether or not it makes cash or loses cash, I can be paid again in full for my full mortgage phrases. Now as an fairness lender, which is just a little bit completely different or a three way partnership accomplice, it’s once I are available in and I finance your deal and I perhaps don’t make any curiosity on the property and I’m making a proportion of the revenue. Now in that state of affairs, in case you promote that property and let’s say it loses cash, I’m the lender that really takes the loss, not you because the operator. If I take that loss, I’m not going to have a private assure towards you too. It’s my danger within the deal. The profit to fairness is you sometimes will make rather a lot greater return. On my three way partnership fairness loans, I sometimes will make about 23 to 24% as an alternative of 12, but when the deal goes unhealthy, it’s my accountability not the operators. And in order that’s the massive distinction is as a tough cash lender that costs simply charges factors and curiosity, you’re assured your fee 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, put money into non-public market actual property with the Fundrise flagship fund. Take a look at 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 performed with you to type of share the method of what this seems to be 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 anyone after they’re asking for cash? So what are the issues that you simply’re on the property to find out the chance? And in case you ought to lend on the property, what ought to they’ve ready and prepared?

James Dainard:
Properly, the very first thing is I need to have 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? For those who’ve performed offers, how did these seem like little mini case research? These are very useful for me as a lender to go, okay, this individual is aware of what they’re doing, even when there’s a foul deal, that’s a superb 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 in addition heat ’em up guys, in case you’re asking for cash, get to know the individual.
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 received a superb operator. Perhaps it’s even a brand new operator, however what does that deal seem like? And so what I’m most involved with when I’m 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 doubtlessly price? As a result of that’s my mitigation towards danger. That’s how I can scale back the chance on this deal. The borrower or the investor must submit to indicate what that property’s price 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 nicely so far as values go, however I can check out the comparables for the home.
What do these seem 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 price. As a result of if I’m lending cash, and even when I’m lending out 100 thousand, the property’s price 200,000. If the rehab is 150,000, that’s an issue as a result of they’re going to be nicely within the pink. And the way are they going to pay me again in the event that they’re going that far of a finances or it’s by no means going to have the ability to be offered and get my a refund? And so I’m actually wanting on the mortgage to worth. The mortgage to worth is on mortgage quantity, the rehab funds getting in your complete price buy worth, rehab, after which what’s that property price mounted up? And sometimes I need to be no less than a 30% unfold. So I need 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:
You understand 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 may go to biggerpockets.com/assets 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 completely different or comparable. 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 simply too. And I feel that most likely helps you determine the chance as if anyone 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 can be if they really have a contingency or not in place too. So perhaps you can go over what are a number of the pink flags that you simply see when lending? What are a number of the belongings you mentioned? No,

James Dainard:
The extra detailed you might be submitting this mortgage request, it exhibits me how you might be as an individual, how do you run your job website, how skilled you might be. And so if somebody reaches out and the very first thing is, Hey James, you need to lend me cash? That’s my first pink flag. I’m like, I don’t even know you. That’s simply unusual to me as an investor. The second pink flag is once I’m wanting on the comps and so they’re actually far-off. 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, nicely the place’s all the opposite information factors within the gross sales which might be round my home? As a result of that’s just a little 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 at all times the largest pink flag to me as a result of in case you’re not ready and sending it to me within the right method, it means you’re not going to have the ability to run your job website that nicely as nicely. And so I’m at all times wanting on the information factors. Is there sufficient? Are they utilizing appraiser guidelines? Is their scope of labor an in depth breakdown or is it type of throwing mud on the wall?

Ashley Kehr:
So this property that I had offered 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 dwelling per se. And this was going to be the primary flip that I had ever performed alone with with out James as a accomplice. So James had skilled me, I’d performed a pair offers with him in Washington, and now it was time to unfold my wings and exit alone. So I employed an important 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 mentioned, Hey, I’ve this individual, they’ve come to me and their mother handed away. It’s two sisters, they should promote this property. I advised them that you simply is perhaps if you will get near what they need.
They might reasonably simply promote it and never checklist it and must take care of showings and issues like that. So I went and noticed the property. We negotiated backwards and forwards just a little bit. One of many issues that I at all times love to do once I’m coping with an property is supply for them to depart every little thing 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 wished be performed. In order that was one of many massive 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. After I offered 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 try this time period for each sort 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 is that if I need to be under that 70% mortgage to worth if 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 perhaps prepay your factors as a result of that’s my guideline is be under 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 every 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 if you’re nervous about taking non-public cash lending and also you need to be sure to pay anyone again, have a line of credit score or have entry to different funds that you can use. So in my scenario, 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 problem with the sump pump inspection that delayed our closing by nearly three weeks, which pushed our timeline again. So I feel that’s type 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 mainly 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 you need 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 performed. I’m making an important return for me, which is 12%, two factors. You completely crushed the deal, so it was definitely worth the expense of the cash. However you then nonetheless have to guard your self simply signing a assure or a promissory be aware with the flipper or the investor. That’s dangerous as a result of if that individual simply goes into chapter 11 or one thing actually occurs or a lien hits them, that private assure isn’t that good. So what you at all times need to do can also be file the suitable paperwork towards the property to guard the mortgage. And so I at all times file a be aware 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 seem like?
Is there a value for it? Is there the next rate of interest? So everybody is aware of the phrases of the mortgage after which it’s filed with a be aware and deed of belief and a promissory be aware and it’s recorded towards title and it at all times closes with title insurance coverage. It’s very, essential as a lender, the mortgage needs to 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 an enormous 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 suitable paperwork is important 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 the right way to 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 every little thing it’s essential find out 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 pink flags or issues that you have to be doing to guard your self if you end up giving out non-public cash?

James Dainard:
Earlier than you concern a mortgage, you need to have a look at the borrower, you need to have a look at the underwriting, however you then additionally need to evaluation the title, what’s happening with the title and who’s the escrow firm closing it? And as a non-public cash lender, I’m financing offers in all several types of states. New York, Arizona, Florida, Texas, California. Every a type of states has completely different rules and lending legal guidelines, and it’s actually essential that you simply perceive what the lending legal guidelines are earlier than you concern cash.

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

James Dainard:
So that you at all times can get a fast background on the web, however I at all times rent an legal professional per state to present 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 unique 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 at all times need to rent an legal professional to do your whole paperwork that’s domestically in that state. Don’t exit of state. Use the professionals that know what they’re doing. One other individual that you simply at all times need domestically too is an area dealer as a result of you may 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 every little thing else. And so I at all times prefer to have a 3rd social gathering give me their very own dealer’s worth opinion that’s separated from the investor to allow them to give me some sincere suggestions on what the property is.

Ashley Kehr:
I used to be simply wanting up what the charge was, the legal professional charge 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 signify 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 individual you might be lending to is including that to their mortgage.

James Dainard:
And that’s one thing I at all times inform any investor is like, Hey, if I’m getting new within the state and I’m hiring the legal professional, I cross these charges alongside to ’em as a result of I don’t need to lend my cash out at 12% and so they 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 need for me to lend you cash. I need to make no less than 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 performed 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 onerous cash lender wished 25 to 30% down and so they 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 price, 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 type of develop the enterprise and it was the perfect factor we ever did.

Ashley Kehr:
And possibly your opponents had been getting the identical. So it wasn’t like a competitor was getting method higher rates of interest the place you had been dropping out on offers as a result of the phrases had been so terrible. That looks as if it was type 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 wished it after 2008, actually. I imply I might have had a free home and other people had been like, get that away from me. It was simply individuals had a foul expertise with actual property. And so it was positively rather a lot much less aggressive. There was much more alternatives, however the revenue and the margins had been method smaller. And in order that was the factor we had to concentrate to. Revenue was small, the chance was excessive out there, after which we had this very costly debt, and in order that’s how we received going out of the recession and ultimately 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 initiatives, however we are going to usher in companions if we want extra capital, if we have now a whole lot of initiatives happening, I can elevate the debt on the property.
Usually after we’re shopping for, we’re placing 15% down on the overall 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 and so they’ll give me that second fairly rapidly by constructing that long-term relationship. And so it offers you entry to liquidity and money if 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 could be very cautious of if you ask for it or not ask for it. Nevertheless it’s important for development. If we have now a house run deal and I don’t have the money, I received to borrow that cash. And so we nonetheless use it right this moment, Plenty of what we do it for is even on our growth initiatives, they’re greater, they require more money. We pay our lenders a pref fee and so they can get just a little portion of the fairness or they will get the next fee. And so it actually is important for development in our actual property area.

Ashley Kehr:
So would you say that if you’re deciding on debt companions or fairness companions after they’re bringing the capital, is it primarily based on what your present scenario is with your personal enterprise funds, you probably have the cash for the deal or not, and in addition the property sort or what the deal is. Is it very a lot case by case or do you will have type of set parameters of that is the state of affairs I tackle fairness companions? That is the state of affairs I tackle debt companions.

James Dainard:
The explanation it is best to do have 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 gifting away the revenue and also you’re pretty skilled. You may have entry to capital. So why would you try 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 method, form or kind. They’ll receives a commission again in entire with an fairness accomplice. They’re partnering with me on the home and if one thing goes unsuitable and let’s say I’ve 10 initiatives going on the similar 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 write down a examine for $50,000 on every a type of homes, I’m going to owe 500 grand by the point I’m performed promoting these homes and I’ve an enormous 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 type of what they signed up for. And so it’s a option to stability danger since you don’t need to get too heavy into one bucket, and that’s why I at all times stability it out. Now what I do with fairness companions is I’m actually massive on long-term relationships. So actually in case you’re placing fairness with me, you need to do different sorts of mortgage situations for us as a result of for me, I can improve my lenders expertise with us by giving them an important return on a repair and flip, however then in addition they give me entry to perhaps 10% cash on several types of loans. And so it permits me to cut back my price of cash once I borrow, but additionally get my lender and my accomplice 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 accomplice for a extremely very long time. The general public that I do borrow onerous cash from or non-public cash from, they’ve been companions of ours for over 5, 10 years. I don’t want 1,000,000 lenders.

We’re all making an attempt to get greater passive earnings the place we are able to work much less and have regular capital coming in, regular cashflow. We purchase rental properties identical to everybody else the place we’re making an attempt to get a rental property and we’re gathering cashflow. However what this has actually helped me for is we’re an costly market and we’re shopping for rental properties. They don’t cashflow a ton at first. The fairness development is nice for us. The onerous cash and the non-public cash lending facet pays me this excessive curiosity, which really it balances out my complete money funding between my leases and my onerous cash to the place on my portfolio between homes and money, I can hit 18, 19% in get development.

You simply must do it a protected method as a result of lenders additionally lose some huge cash.
