We can close most deals in 5 – 7 business days. If a file is already prepped with borrower and project information, we can close as fast as the title company can move.
You will negotiate an origination fee in addition to ours that will be paid out at closing. Brokers typically charge 1-4 points.
Our portfolio manager will typically service the loan once it’s originated.
We pride ourselves on building long-lasting, symbiotic relationships with our brokers. We are willing to sign a non-circumvention for the project when necessary.
All you need to do is complete the broker registration form and we will follow up with instructions to get you more information on our loan products and processes.
REFERRAL PARTNER QUESTIONS
We work closely with a number of real estate agents who service a portfolio of investor clients. What a conventional mortgage broker or loan officer is to a residential customer, a private or hard money lender can be that for a real estate investor. We are an extension of your network to help your clients get more purchases funded and more transactions closed.
For each property closed with our funding, you will receive $500 at closing paid out of our earnings. This means there is no additional cost to your client for referring them our way. We will even create a custom landing page that you can reference in your email campaigns which will track any loan applications placed through the web.
Our wholesale clients are some of our best referral partners. This is because we both service the same client base. Your cash buyers list is by and large already using some form of leverage or other people’s money (OPM) to close their deals. By getting set up as a referral partner, you establish a relationship with a hard money lender that you can referring to clients who need cash to close and collect $500 for every project that closes with us.
Most wholesalers we work with add a link to their email signature that says apply for a loan. This takes them to a custom landing page we create for you on our website and allows us to track loans closed.
We work closely with residential and commercial mortgage brokers to add our products to their arsenal so they can get more clients to closing. By referring us a client, you can get $500 paid out of our proceeds when the deal gets funded. For many agents, this is extremely advantageous because it provides another revenue stream from their sales funnel.
Anyone can receive a referral fee for referring a loan to us. You do not have to be an agent, wholesaler, or mortgage office to collect a referral fee or register for our referral program.
You will receive a check for $500 paid to you at the initial closing.
To get started, you just need to complete the referral partner registration and we will follow up with instructions and more information on our loan products and processes.
