If you're getting back into the lending game for long-term hold investors, a realistic “ideal” loan might look like this:Rates: Somewhere around 6-8% interest, depending on the risk profile of the borrower and the property.LTV: 70-80% LTV is solid, especially if you're aiming for lower risk.Term: 5-10 years works for LTR investors who want stability.Fees: Reasonable origination fee (1-2%) is expected, but avoid nickel-and-diming borrowers with hidden fees.Prepayment: A soft prepayment penalty could be fair if paid off in the first couple of years, but after that, no penalties.Speed: Being able to close quickly (within a couple of weeks) would be a huge plus.In short, give investors a competitive rate, decent terms, and flexibility on prepayment, and you’re golden.
