What Arizona Hard Money Lenders might think if you ask for a 100 LTV loan right off the bat

You're not committed- Money talks. If you ask a lender to cover the full cost of your next investment property you're basically saying to them:“I don’t really believe in my project enough to spend my own money on it.” So, your lender might ask themselves, “what's to keep this person from skipping town if something goes wrong, leaving me to foreclose on their unfinished building site?”

You don't have money-By asking for 100 percent financing your lender could easily assume that you don’t have any money of your own. So, your lender might ask them, “If they don’t have any savings, how on earth will they keep up with payments if something goes wrong?”

You lack experience- 100 LTV financing is so rare, that asking for it up front might make your lender think you’ve never closed a hard money deal before. So, your lender might ask themselves “If they’ve never done a hard money deal before, do they know what they're talking about?"

To close these types of deals, you need to answer these questions before your lender asks them, either to themselves or to you directly.

Follow these talking points to improve your eligibility for

Prove your commitment- You could start the conversation by saying something like: “On this next deal, rehab’s going to be pretty extensive, so I’d rather use my money on rehab,” or something along these lines. The point is you need to thoughtfully explain the reasons why you’d like your lender to pay for the full cost of purchasing your property and assure them that you do intend to invest some of your own money in your project. Giving them such assurances will prove that you're committed to your project.

Prove you have money- Then you could take out some documents, things like savings statements, tax returns, anything to prove your financially solvent. Point to these documents and say, “as you can see here I do have resources, so if something goes wrong I can carry the loan.” Prove to your lender that you're not asking for free money, just because you have no money of your own.

Prove you have experience- Continue the conversation by saying, “I know I'm asking a lot of you, but I’ve done a lot of similar projects in the past. Here's how much money I’ve made on those deals,“ talking up your track record proves to a potential lender that you know what you're talking about and that you can bring your project across the finish line.

The above isn’t a word for word script. But if you carefully bring up the prospect of 100 percent financing, prove your commitment, financial solvency, and experience you'll be well on your way to closing that coveted 100 LTV hard money deal.
