First-Time Private Lender - Critique my deal??
Hello BP! I wanted to get some feedback on how you'd handle the following situation as the Private Lender lending your own cash or IRA funds. Here are some facts about the deal:
Purchase Price + Buyer Paid CC: $170,000
Repairs: $30,000
ARV: $250,000 or 80.0%
Loan to Borrower: $200,000
Promissory Note: 10% - 60 Day Minimum Guarantee
Lien Position: 1st Position
Personal Guarantee: Yes
References: Checked out, with strong history of success
Comps: Spot on for the ARV target and homes are generally selling in 15 days or less priced on target.
Advice from the community for a first time lender? I'm particularly interested in the following:
1) Due to high ARV, more risk. Should I charge a higher rate or ask for a minimum guarantee amount (ie $4,000 even if completes in 60 days or less).
2) What do you want to make sure is in the promissory note?
3) Flipper is asking for the purchase price to be funded through escrow but repair funds to be paid directly in multiple draws. Any issues here?
Really appreciate everyone's thoughts and experience. Let me know what I've missed.
