CALIFORNIA PRIVATE MONEY LENDER

Bridge Loans For Trusts & Estates

When it comes to choosing a California Private Money Lender or California Hard Money Lender, you have a handful of options to choose from. Selecting the right one might be more important than you think.

Interest Rates, Penalties & Fees

For instance, choosing the best private mortgage lender can have a significant impact on your pocketbook. Lenders make money on a loan in a few different ways. The most common ways are through fees, interest rate premiums and penalties. One of the most important things that separates Commercial Loan Corporation from other California Private Money Lenders is that we do not charge any form of prepayment penalties, we offer competitive fees and have some of the lowest interest rates in the hard money lending marketplace. Prepayment penalties alone can cost a borrower potentially tens of thousands of dollars or even worse, trap them in a high interest rate loan that they no longer want or need!

Customer Service

Another important factor to consider when selecting the right private money lender is customer service. We are aware, that in this day and age, the phrase “Customer Service” almost sounds sarcastic. At Commercial Loan Corporation you are more than just a loan number. We might be a relatively small private money lender, but we are big on the customer experience. Regardless of your loan amount, you will always be treated with respect and courtesy by every member of our team. It is a sincere goal of ours to provide you with the fastest and best mortgage transaction that you have ever experienced. In many cases, we can fund a private money loan to a trust or estate in as little as 7 days. Please view some of our recent customer testimonials located here.

Experience

As you may be aware, in some situations California Proposition 58 grants residents the ability to transfer Real Estate along with a Proposition 13 protected property tax base from a parent to child. Sometimes in order to qualify for this exclusion against reassessment of property taxes, the beneficiary or heir may require a private money bridge loan or hard money loan. When it comes to Trust & Estate Bridge Loans and Third Party Private Money Loans to Trusts and Estates, experience with these types of loans is critical. The truth is that most California hard money lenders either never or rarely lend money to a trust or estate for Proposition 58 tax benefit purposes. If the financing is not conducted properly, the County Tax Assessors office is likely to reject the borrowers requests for a property tax reassessment exclusion. Even a small mistake could mean missing out on possibly thousands of dollars annually in property tax savings. At Commercial Loan Corporation, we specializes in providing short term financing and bridge loans to help our clients obtain Proposition 58 property tax reassessment exclusions. Every member of the Commercial Loan Corporation team has at least 15 years of mortgage experience and combined, our team has over 90 years of mortgage experience.

Always Watch Out For Prepayment Penalties

Trust and Estate Loans - Beware of Prepayment Penalties

Trust and Estate Loans – Beware of Prepayment Penalties

Trust and estate mortgages provide liquidity to an otherwise illiquid trust. This cash infusion to the trust or estate allows for an even asset distributions to be made. The equal distribution of a trust or estate becomes critical when one of the beneficiaries or heirs wants to take advantage of California Proposition 58 (parent to child property transfer) and benefit from an exclusion for property tax reassessment. Depending on the property’s current value, the parents assessed property tax value and the property tax rate; doing so could mean a savings of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars annually! Here is an example of how it works.

Proposition 58 Exclusion From Property Tax Reassessment Example

Say your parent initially purchased the home for $75,000 and over the years the home has increased in value to $850,000. Thanks to California’s Proposition 13, the property’s tax assessed value can not increase by more than 2% annually. So even though the actual value of the property is $850,000 the County’s assessed value for property tax purposes may be only $112,000 (as an example). If the property tax rate for the area is 1.2% here is what you would be looking at:

Current Property Taxes = $112,000 x 1.2% = $1,344
Property Taxes If Reassessed = $850,000 x 1.2% = $10,200
Proposition 58 Exclusion From Reassessment Annual Tax Savings = $8,856

So if an equal distribution of the trust or estate can be made allowing for the child inheriting the property to qualify for the Proposition 58 exclusion from property tax reassessment, the savings in property taxes can be significant!

Finding the right Trust or Estate Loan

When it comes time to take out a trust, estate or probate loan, you have a few options and choosing the right private money or hard money lender may save you potentially thousands of dollars in fees and expenses! In almost all cases, Trust and Estate loans are intended to be short term financing options. The lender provides the trust or estate with cash, the assets of the trust or estate are distributed equally, and the beneficiary or heir files for the parent to child exclusion from property tax reassessment. Once the exclusion is granted, they are then able to refinance the trust or estate loan with out jeopardizing the low property tax rate that was transferred from the parent. Since these are short term loans, many of our competitors have chosen to charge prepayment penalties to make additional income on the loan. Worse yet, some trust and estate lenders will disguise their prepayment penalty by referring to them as minimum required months payments or set a minimum amount of interest requirement. Depending on the loan amount, those prepaid or required interest charges could add up to several thousand dollars. Commercial Loan Corporation charges NO prepayment penalties and has NO minimum interest requirements. Instead we do our best to provide you with flexibility when it comes to paying off your loan. In fact we will even recalculate your monthly payment for you if you pay down your trust or estate loan mortgage balance, allowing you to save on interest payments!
