Remington Financial Group, Inc. - (RFG) - Hard Money Financing Can be Helpful for Investors

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, Inc. - What Hard Money is

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

Remington Financial Group is equipped to handle the expedited closings of 30 days or less, which makes it unique in the lending space. Our firm does it by preparing all of the necessary underwriting resources (attorneys, appraisers, etc.) to review and approve a loan very quickly. RFG employs a lower loan to value ratio than a traditional lender might, which allows the firm to recover its investment should the need arise. Also, Remington often times skips traditional underwriting steps, such as evaluating a borrower's credit rating or examining his experience level, as a means to progress the loan more quickly. We require a water tight appraisal of the property that ensures RFG can tolerate the high risk. Also, RFG will always require an appropriate exit strategy. If a borrower can not share how the loan will be repaid, in reasonable terms, we will not make the deal. Remington Financial Group has no interest in taking possession of a property and does not view foreclosure as a suitable exit strategy, but we can work with you to identify an appropriate strategy.

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - (RFG) - Financing International Transactions

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - An experienced Firm

Since 1993, RFG has provided capital and financial services to business owners, real estate owners and developers/builders around the globe, with services including originating, evaluating, structuring, preparing financing request packages, and assisting with negotiation and coordination of placement and the closing process.

Focusing primarily on transactions from $1 million and up, RFG has employed a unique, highly disciplined transaction process that is different from many conventional approaches. Each transaction is customized to help our clients benefit from our distinctive brand of integrated financing. RFG's track record of completed transactions - including real estate, hotel/resort, land development, and corporate transactions - is proof of our distinctive approach.

RFG is versed in international deals, as well. Because of the demand for commercial financing and the incredible investment opportunities to be had, RFG has extended its growth, in particular, to Mexico. In addition to its Philadelphia and Arizona offices.

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Focusing on Mexico Real Estate

There are many reasons Remington Financial Group (RFG) has extended its growth to Mexico. Among these is the proliferation of opportunities for potentially very rewarding long-term investment opportunity with limited risk. For comparable product types, cap rates in Mexico are approximately 200 to 400 basis points above U.S. cap rates. With its increased gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, vibrant economy, and the strength of the peso, investing in Mexico has never looked better. The country's foreign direct investment is at an all-time high. Additionally, Mexico's political climate is more open to investment than ever before. Changes in foreign investment laws, as well as the institutionalization of properties by U.S. Title Insurance companies, are two reasons for increased confidence among foreign investors. Institutions like AMB, Hines, ING, JP Morgan, ProLogis, and Prudential have already made considerable commitments in Mexican real estate.

U.S. buyers continue to be encouraged to buy Mexican real estate, since Mexican properties continue to be much cheaper than those in the U.S. Also, property taxes are very low in comparison to the U.S. and Canada. Homebuyers in San Diego, California or Phoenix, Arizona, for example, are more frequently being pushed south, where real estate is more affordable than it is stateside.

Real estate investment opportunities also abound surrounding tourism. Approximately 300,000 to 500,000 Americans and Canadians take extended vacations of over four months, which translates well for very profitable weekly rental properties. The allure of beachfront vistas, vacation homes, and retirement villas are among the many reasons that over 1.5 million Americans now own property in Mexico.

The property market is booming. Although the sale of single-family second homes continues to rise in the U.S., baby boomers are traveling and looking to spend their wealth in locales outside of their home country. As the richest generation in the history of the world, baby boomers are purchasing real estate abroad, with wealth from the economic boom of the ‘90s.

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Financing Transactions in India

India is experiencing one of the strongest and enduring periods of economic growth and prosperity in the history of the financial markets. Their growth looks to continue unabated well into the next decade. Among the most attractive features for investing in India are numerous long-term investment opportunities that offer strong potential returns with limited downside risk. An influx of foreign capital has fueled a burgeoning middle class and increased land development.
