Remington Financial Group, Inc. - (RFG) - Has Access to Hard Money Financing in 09'

About Remington Financial Group, Inc - Hard Money

Since 1993, Remington Financial Group, Inc. (RFG) 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.

Remington Financial Group - What is a Hard Money Loan?

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 lower 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.

Loans often times must close quickly for any number of reasons. Sometimes the timing is a requirement to take advantage of a good price on a commercial property. Other times borrowers must meet fast closing dates in order to avoid foreclosure. Regardless of the reason, hard money is a viable and valuable loan type.

It's also important for brokers to understand that a typical hard money loan does not have a pre-payment penalty associated with it. So, if the borrower is in a position to repay the loan early the lender will not impose an extra fee.

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - When to Use Hard Money

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 (RFG) - Recent Case Study

Acquisition Financing: $7.5 Million for Name Brand Connecticut-based property

Remington Financial Group Inc., structured and secured high leverage acquisition financing for the purchase of a name brand hotel company. The newly renovated 150-room hotel, which was purchased by a New Jersey based hotel investment and management firm, is centrally located at the crossroads of Connecticut.

The property was originally purchased by a NY-based private-equity group in late 2003 and was extensively renovated in 2004. Despite these upgrades, the property continued to under-perform expectations, showing a negative cash flow of $500,000 annually. In contrast, RFG Hospitality Capital and the investment and firm saw significant up-side.

RFG mitigated the negative cash-flow and secondary-market location issues by illustrating the investment firm's proven track of turning around mismanaged properties. This enabled RFG's lender to become comfortable with the deal and as such provided an aggressive three year floating-rate non-recourse bridge loan priced at 375 bps over LIBOR representing 94 percent of the purchase price and 75 percent of the total acquisition budget.

A representative of the investment firm was quoted as saying, "RFG worked quickly and efficiently to produce results. The process involved multiple steps and multiple points of potential failure, and RFG provided insightful comments and constructive prodding to keep the process from slowing down."
