Hard Money Loans & Alternative Commercial Real Estate Financing...

Welcome to the hard money loan/commercial real estate finance and joint ventures information center supported by the Rainmaker Group of Companies.  Rainmaker provides consulting for commercial real estate finance and development joint-ventures to provide alternatives to hard money loans.  In some cases, these higher-yielding programs make excellent sense for a developer who has everything in hand but the bank.  The most common use for these "hard money" programs is the replacement of a construction lender on a last-minute basis.  The products available for commercial real estate development finance include:

TIC Plan Syndications.  The zero-coupon commercial real estate syndication sales program provides capital funding as early as the project's pre-construction phase.  This financing is non-recourse and of sufficient magnitude so as to allow the developer withdraw the developer's seed capital and obtain the remaining construction mortgage financing on a non-recourse basis.

Bridge Loans.  Bridge funding is for projects that are already built and operating that, in most cases, have lender fatigue and need a gap funding to cover a specific period of time and has a specific workout plan and exit strategy.  Bridge funding is almost always exit strategy specific.  If you are seeking to participate in the EB-5 100% non-recourse facility financing joint-venture program in lieu of going the hard money loan approach, please click here for more information.

Mezzanine Loans.  Mezzanine loans are for projects that have not as yet been constructed and serve to provide additional equity capital to fulfill the lender's investment requirements.  This is extraordinarily expensive financing, is almost always provided with the requirement of full-recourse and comes with a huge exit fee requirement, very large origination fees and a minimum up-front interest sinking fund requirement.  If you think mezzanine financing is for you, then you should consider a commercial real estate syndication (provided you have the due diligence and the necessary capital to sustain the advertising and marketing requirements).

You definitely need to think carefully, as most of these lenders are in the "commitment fee" business and "funding fee" business.  You get a term sheet, but the terms are so onerous you have to walk away, leaving the lender with the fees and laughing at what a sucker you are.

The strength of the transaction, the project team, the market economics and the exit strategy all play a key role in the design of the ultimate capital funding plan structure and you may rely upon Rainmaker Marketing Corporation to help you structure a transaction that will meet the test of the market.  Each project is analyzed in terms of its peer group and in terms of its unique attributes and development challenges.  This program can be utilized for a wide range of commercial real estate transactions and raw land deals.  Collateralization requirements are no longer set in stone and are negotiable based upon the current capital market competitive basket.  Front-end fees have come down and investors (in some cases) are amenable to having the front-end fees escrowed instead of paid and earned.
