Remington is doing something about it. To assist distressed owners, Remington will be announcing a new nationwide "investor-driven" recapitalization program that relies on private rather than banking sources of capital. We'll be leveraging our second-to-none access to commercial capital to support you and your clients in a tough situation.

"The new program ties together the expert capital advisory services of Remington with a nationwide network of well-funded private investors that are ready, willing, and able to recapitalize troubled commercial real estate assets."

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Has Access to Over $500M in Hard Money Financing

About Remington Financial Group, Inc. - What's Happening in the Capital Markets

A supply and demand imbalance in the commercial real estate capital markets will provide investors with an unprecedented opportunity to generate equity-like returns for debt investments. This same imbalance presents Remington with an opportunity to assist more distressed developers and owners who seek financing.

The Liquidity Crisis

The supply of commercial real estate debt has shrunk dramatically, especially in the US. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, CMBS represents some 20% of all commercial loans. Further compounding the liquidity problem is the fact that most commercial banks are not in a position to extend credit to new borrowers because they are struggling to manage their deteriorating commercial loan portfolio.

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Why Use Hard Money

In the US alone, some $1.2 trillion in commercial loans is estimated to mature in the next four years. This significant demand causes the imbalance.

A hard money loan is easily recognized by some distinguishing characteristics, most notably its ability to close quickly. Although a hard money loan typically carries a higher loan to value and more costly rates and fees, borrowers continually turn to this unique loan because most times it can move from start to close in 30 short days.

Why would a borrower need to close a loan in 30 days? It turns out there are many reasons that a quick turn around might be necessary. Two examples include:

Taking advantage of a low cost property

A borrower is aware of a piece of available property that is near the site of a soon-to-be-built shopping center. The land owner will sell the property at a lower cost, but only if the deal can close in the next 30 days. By securing a hard money loan, the borrower will pay higher rates and fees, but can close quickly knowing that she will earn a significant return in a year when the shopping center's construction is complete and the land's value has increased.

Avoid foreclosure

An individual's lender is about to foreclose on his property unless he can repay a certain amount within a short time period. The property is worth $10 million and the borrower owes $1 million against it. If the property is foreclosed upon, all of the property's equity will be lost. Although a hard money loan carries high fees and rates it enables the borrower to meet the aggressive repayment timeframe and save the equity in the property.

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Has Access to Over $500M in Hard Money for Distressed Owners

About Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Hard Money

Since 1993, Remington Financial Group, Inc. has had a successful history of securing hard money capital and financial services to sophisticated real estate owners and developers nationwide.

RFG specializes in hard money loans, a higher-risk loan, which is usually based on the quick-sale value of a property. Hard money loans are often issued for financially distressed properties that carry greater risks that most conventional banks are not willing to absorb. RFG issues hard money loans in cases where there is sufficient collateral and a promising business or financial plan.

Securing financing for transactions starting at $1 million and moving upward, RFG offers an extensive network of private and public lending partners, dramatically improving successful close rates for borrowers in need of a fast closing loan. With a successful track record of closing hard money transactions, Remington delivers expertise and competitive transaction options, even in challenging market conditions.

Hard money loans may be issued for any range of non-traditional properties or non-traditional borrowers - including property owners who may have missed a mortgage payment or real estate developers that are looking for immediate action.

RFG is interested in securing financing for companies that operate in expanding market sectors, such as manufacturing, resource development and service providers. Remington will consider securing financing on a diverse variety of commercial properties, including mixed-use, apartment buildings, assisted care facilities, business investment capital, corporate loans, real estate, special purpose properties (such as car washes), construction loans, hotels, land development, retail, office or industrial properties.
