What is a private money lender?

A private money lender is an investor who makes loans securedby real estate, typically with less required documentation than traditionalbanks and lenders because private money lenders are usually basing theirunderwriting on the property value and experience of the borrower.

What are some advantages of private money lenders?

Private money loans can have several advantages over traditional bank financing including:
* A simpler application process and quicker approval/disapproval decision;
* Less scrutiny of the borrower’s personal financial situation, including income and historical tax returns, compared to bank loans;
* Borrowers can allocate less time to seeking financing and instead concentrate on other businesses;
* Most private money lenders do not expect perfect credit and substantial amounts of disposable income from borrowers, but instead focus on the merits of the specific deal under consideration

What is a draw request and how does the process work for construction draws?

A draw request is when a borrower accesses their approved construction loan funds in increments. These funds allow borrowers to regularly pay vendors, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors.

Your draw schedule will be based on two draw types:

Advanced: Temple View advances construction funds prior to work being completed according to the approved scope of work.
Reimbursement: Temple View reimburses constructions funds once work from the approved scope of work is fully or partially completed or deposits with proof of payment are provided (i.e., canceled checks, paid receipts, etc.).

The process is as follows:

A client notifies us when they have completed a specific milestone of their construction draw schedule and submits a draw request to the TVC Draw deal via the portal.
After the borrower submits a draw request to Temple View, the review process begins. Temple View will review documents, order, and review inspections to verify the completion of the required construction work. It is customary to get a lien release from contractors (for each draw) who work on the project to mitigate the risk of future liens.
Upon approval, our in-house inspector will visit the property to confirm the completion of repairs.
On a rehab or new construction loan, Temple View will release the part of the loan dedicated to the renovation or construction project in stages. Each installment will be released to the borrower’s bank account after a particular draw stage and requirements are met. Generally, the period between the initial draw request and when a borrower receives funds is 3-4 business days.
