What is a Sponsor?
What is a Sponsor?
Hello my name is Jeannie Orlowski welcome to the first edition of 60 second insights. In this series we are going to answer burning questions in 60 seconds or less.
A sponsor is someone who qualifies you for the mortgage amount. If you have a three million dollar property you are going to put 20% down. You will need to have the net worth equal to 2.4 million or the bank may require you to have a sponsor. They also may require you to have up to six months liquidity for mortgage payments- that you can co-sponsor with your sponsor who qualifies you for the mortgage.
Sponsors are everywhere. You can find them at local real estate investment club, you can find them in your own neighborhood, maybe even in your own family. People that just want to get a piece of the deal. They don’t want to do all the legwork that goes into getting a deal under contract doing the due diligence getting all of the necessary documents together in order to close on a property they just want to put up their tax returns and get a piece of the deal and that’s how you find sponsors. If you have any questions regarding sponsors, private money or any other burning questions leave it in the comment section below and perhaps next week we will be answering your burning questions.
Funding Deals
60 Second Insights – Funding Deals
Today’s question is, how do I fund my deals?
Hard money is secured by real estate. A hard money lender typically will charge a 11-15% interest plus points. A point is 1% of the loan amount. They will get interest on their money every month until you are out of the deal which is typically under a year. Debt partners- a debt partner usually comes into the deal in a promissory note. They typically charge 10% interest, they get paid on an annual basis and they are in the deal for 2-3 years then they get their money back. Equity partners-this is the way savvy investors invest in real estate. It’s a syndication you’re portion 100,000 dollars, you would get 9% first year, 10% the second 12%, the third that is 31% cash on cash return from what we buy the property for to what we sell the property for, you would get another 50% of that. Add the figures together, divide by 3 and you get a 27% annualized return. Bingo! You’re in. That’s the way serious investors invest. Got a burning question? Leave it in the comments section below.
