California Bridge Loan Financing To Trusts & Estates

Commercial Loan Corporation specializes in providing bridge loans to trusts and estates. We are one of just a handful of lenders in California that provide bridge financing to trusts. Even more importantly, we specialize in this type of lending. Often times our clients utilize our private money bridge loan financing to allow for an even distribution to be made from a trust or estate. This can be crucial when a client is trying to receive a Proposition 58 granted exclusion from property tax reassessment to preserve a parents low property tax base on inherited property.

Thanks to California Proposition 13, property taxes in California can not increase by more than 2% each year. Since property values in California historically increase at a far higher rate, retaining a parents low property tax base can be incredibly valuable. In fact, on average we save our clients $6,200 a year in property taxes by helping them avoid a property tax reassessment. Over time that savings can compound, making for an incredible benefit. If you are inheriting property from a parent and are interested in preserving their low Proposition 13 property tax base, call us at 877-464-1066 and we can help you determine how much you might be able to save by utilizing one of our bridge loans.

What Is A Bridge Loan?

A bridge loan or bridge financing is a short term loan utilized until a person or trust secures permanent financing. Bridge loans or bridge mortgages are only intended to be held for a short period of time and typically have a term between 1 and 12 months.

Many of our clients either pay our bridge loan off in full after their exclusion from property tax reassessment has been granted or will refinance the debt with a conventional mortgage once the Proposition 58 exclusion has been granted. We are also able to assist our clients with permanent financing if needed. If you, a family member or client is interest in receiving a bridge loan for a trust or estate, please call us at 877-464-1066 so that we may assist you.

Estate Loans and Third Party Loans To Trusts – Call 877-464-1066 For Assistance

Provider Of California Estate Loans

Thanks to California Proposition 58, a parent is permitted to transfer their low property tax rate to a child on an inherited piece of real estate. Unfortunately, in some situations receiving an exclusion from property tax reassessment can be easier said than done. Specific steps must be taken to receive your exclusion from your local County Tax Assessors Office and if they are not done correctly, you may lose your ability to preserve your parents low property tax rate. Commercial Loan Corporation specializes in providing loans to estates and trusts. These specialty private money mortgages assist our clients in qualifying for the Prop 58 property tax exclusion from reassessment. In addition to providing third party private money trust and estate mortgages, we can also put you in contact with a qualified estate attorney, probate attorney, fiduciary or California property tax consultant to assist you in qualifying for your Proposition 58 benefits.If you need an estate or trust loan, or have questions, please call us at 877-464-1066 or complete our information request form located here.

Proposition 58 Exclusion From Property Tax Reassessment

In 1986 California enacted Proposition 58. Proposition 58 allows for an inheriting property owner to avoid a property tax reassessment when acquiring real estate from their parents. The inheriting owner’s property taxes are calculated on the established Proposition 13 factored value, instead of the current market value, saving them potentially thousands of dollars annually. This is especially important if one of the children inheriting the property wants to either keep the home as a residence or as an investment property. If the parent has owned the home for an extended period of time, there is a high probability that Prop 13 has kept their property tax rate much lower than it would be if the property was reassessed at current market value.

Under Proposition 58, retaining a parents low property tax rate can become complicated when there is not enough liquid assets in the trust or estate to create an equal distribution to all siblings. In this situation a third party loan placed against the inherited home may be the only option to make an equal distribution. The additional cash made available from our 3rd party loan allows each of the siblings to receive an equal share of the assets. If the third party loan is not handled properly, the County Assessors Office may reject your request for a Proposition 58 exclusion from property tax reassessment and the property taxes will be calculated on the homes current assessed value. If you, one of your siblings or a client of yours is in need of a third party loan to take advantage of California Proposition 58’s exclusion from property tax reassessment, call Us at 877-464-1066.  We specialize in providing private money loans to trusts and estates and can assist you.

Why Choose Commercial Loan Corporation?

Commercial Loan Corporation, A California Proposition 58 Lender

Commercial Loan Corporation, A California Proposition 58 Lender

Why Commercial Loan Corporation

There are several things that separate Commercial Loan Corporation from other California private money lenders. Perhaps most important is that Commercial Loan Corporation specializes in loans to trusts with the specific goal of retaining the original prop 13 tax status. There are a few lenders that consider these transactions occasionally but these loans are a small percentage of what they do. It is critically important that this transaction is done correctly to ensure that the county doesn’t reassess the property. There are a lot of mistakes that can be made if it’s not done correctly. We work directly with both the customer and the attorney to assist in this process. We have adjusted our documents with the help of numerous attorneys to provide a seamless transition when the property is distributed from the trust to the individual taking the property in the distribution from the trust. We understand the process better than most, because it’s all we focus on. And we are the lender so we make all of the decisions ourselves. You are right at the source.

Another very important thing that separates us from anyone out there is our policy on early payment. You will find that other private money lenders want to make as much interest as possible off of the transaction. This is not a bad thing. Companies are in business to make a profit. However, our policy on prepayment penalties helps us stand apart from other lenders. Most lenders, in addition to their loan costs, require a pre-payment penalty of some sort. This can be a standard 6 month or 1 year early payoff penalty or in some cases can be a specific number of months of required interest. If a lender requires that you make 3 or 6 payments of interest on a loan prior to being paid off, it is the same thing as a prepayment penalty. A requirement for certain number on month’s interest guarantees a lender that the loan will be more profitable. If a borrower is required to make a specific number of interest payments, it adds to the cost of the loan. For example, if a borrower is required to make 90 days of payments on a loan, it is the equivalent of adding 2 to 3 percent of the loan amount in loan costs.

Commercial Loan Corporation has no prepayment penalties of any kind. None. This can be extremely beneficial to the customer financially. If the money to pay the loan back is readily available we have worked with customers that pay off our loan immediately eliminating virtually any interest costs on the loan. This means that the initial fees charged for the loan is the entire cost of the loan.

Here is an example…

Say the customer has a personal line of credit available to pay off our loan from their lending institution. We can work with them to determine the best timing to fund our loan depending on the availability of their funds. If we fund our loan on Monday, they can pay off our loan on Tuesday, effectively eliminating the accrual of interest. This can be a great tool to potentially save thousands of dollars in interest payments.

We also work with the attorney and the customer to decide when to file the re-conveyance showing that the loan has been paid off. Some of the attorneys we work with want to wait to file the reconveyence (proof the loan is paid off) until they are satisfied that the county has concluded the Exemption for Reassessment of property taxes. We can accommodate the preference of the attorney in the timing of filing the reconveyence.

Don’t let any of this confuse you, we are here to answer any questions you have on the subject and look forward to helping! We tend to do business the old-fashioned way. We do what we say we’re going to do and we focus on speed and customer service.

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!

Estate Loans, Probate Loans, Trust Loans and Inheritance Loans

If your inheritance includes real estate and you want to preserve your parents or grandparents low property tax rate; there are finance options available to assist you. These loans programs often go by different names but are most commonly referred to as inheritance loans, estate loans, probate loans, or trust loans. In some cases they will also be referred to as hard money loans, private money loans or 3rd party loans for trusts.

Estate, probate, inheritance and trust loans are typically more difficult to come by than conventional real estate mortgages. Often times in order to receive financing on real estate held by a trust, in probate or in an estate, you need to utilize a private money lender. These types of loans are typically intended to be used as short term financing options to provide liquidity to an estate or trust when one is trying to qualify for exclusion for reassessment of property taxes. Once the real estate has been transferred to the beneficiary or heir and the exclusion for property tax reassessment has been secured; that is when the loan is refinanced into a conventional mortgage.

It does not always make sense to utilize a private money, hard money, trust loan, estate loan or probate loan; but there are situations when it does. The most common reason to do so is when dividing the assets of a trust or estate and there is not sufficient cash liquidity to achieve an equal distribution. For instance, one heir or beneficiary may wish to retain ownership of a property. If that is the case and there is not sufficient assets remaining for an equal distribution to the other parties involved; taking out a mortgage on the property may be the best option.

Providers of inheritance loans, estate loans, probate loans, and trust loans

Inheritance loans, estate loans, probate loans, and trust loans are specialized types of real estate mortgages. It can be difficult to find lenders willing to provide this type of financing. Commercial Loan Corporation specializes in this type of lending. Best of all, unlike many other private money lenders, Commercial Loan Corporation does not charge a pre-pay penalty or have a minimum interest requirement which can be costly.

That is where Commercial Loan Corporation can help.

Commercial Loan Corporation provides mortgages to trusts and estates. Our trust loan infuses the trust with cash allowing for the equal distribution of the trust and permitting one of the trustees to take possession of the real estate. The process helps to make the individual eligible for a proposition 58 exclusion for property tax reassessment allowing him or her to preserve the parents low proposition 13 tax rate. In addition to loans to trusts, Commercial Loan Corporation also provides estate loans and probate loans to help protect a parents low property tax rate when it is being transferred to a child.
