ince its inception FirstKey Lending has been specializing in the finance of single family portfolios in the $5 to $100 million range. Several months ago the media was abuzz with news of private equity giant Cerberus Capital Management lending its billions to owners of 1 to 4 unit rental portfolios. Now, New York-based FirstKey Lending has further expanded this initiative with the unveiling of its Lending Express program, designed specifically to accommodate owners of 1 to 4 single family portfolios who are looking for financing in the $1 to $5 million range.

Reiff explains that it was this void and need in the market, as well as a unique advantage in efficiency and infrastructure, which were behind the decision to launch FirstKeys new small balanced lending program. Specifically the CEO says: FirstKeys infrastructure and expertise have enabled us to role out this exciting new product, which caters to customers borrowing $5 million or less.

n the words of the great Bob Dylan: the times they are a-changin, for Sean Morsi and Ajay Mehra CEO and CFO of MOR Financial, respectively the notion of shaking things up has been woven into their companys genetic code. It may come as a surprise to hear that an asset-based lender, known for utilizing cutting-edge marketing and high-tech analytics, assert for a traditional approach in customer service and building lifelong client partnerships. With an average yield returning 10.5% for their lenders, Morsi and Mehra have compiled more than $70 million in committed capital from their investors, with roughly $35 million in their active in-house servicing portfolio. Built in a relatively short period of time with a focus in Southern Cali

fornia, where both were raised, the two have also set their sites on penetrating the Florida, Nevada and Arizona markets. Ajay came on board as a partner in MOR Financial in 2009, with both partners coming from established lending backgrounds before re-shifting focus after the market crash. Since then, weve grown into a premier private lender here in Southern California, specifically around Los Angeles County, notes Morsi. As the new kids on the block, the business moguls captured a very large percentage of the market in a very short span of time. A large percentage of their competition has been in the private money lending sector for 20 years or more. Mehra

Five Steps to Raising Private Capital

Jillian Ivey Sidoti, Esq.
any people assume that in order to raise capital all they have to do is go out and find potential investors to whom they may pitch their idea. However, the laws regulating the sale of any security are such that operating in such a matter would be illegal.

Too often, people learn fact and decide that their aspirations are out of their reach or worse, raise the capital illegally, putting themselves at risk to suffer very serious consequences should the SEC catch on to what they are up to. Truth is, with the appropriate planning and effort, anyone can raise the capital necessary to execute their business plan. At a very abstract level, there are five steps to raising private capital, and they are as follows: 1. Develop Your Business Plan: One cannot very well start a company without a plan! At the very least, you want to put together bullet points of the who, what, when, where, why, and how you will put your company to work and start generating income. From there, you can flesh out the details. 2. Set Up Your Company: Your next step is to decide what type of entity is appropriate for your business plan, and in which state. A corporation, limited liability company, and limited partnership each have their respective positives and negatives. The particulars of your situation will dictate what best fits your company. 3. Decide What To Offer Investors: If people are going to invest money in your company, one of the most important questions they will have is what do I get out of this? First and foremost, you have to analyze your business plan to determine your baseline of what you can afford to offer investors in addition to what the market dictates in your particular industry. You must then determine what you are comfortable offering investors and land somewhere between those points. This could be a percentage return on their capital investment, simply just a share of profits the company earns, or a combination thereof. 4. Put Your Offering Documents Together: Not only may you be required by law to present offering documents (called a Private Placement Memorandum) to your prospective investors before taking their money in order to ensure you have made all the appropriate disclosures, but such documents will provide all the information they need to decide to make the investment. The private placement memorandum encompasses the three Ds disclaimers, disclosures, and details. 5. Find Investors: For many entrepreneurs, finding investors is the most intimidating step in the process. However, if you organize and execute

your capital raising efforts in the correct manner, then you will be well on your way to meeting your capital goals. Yes, this is a very boiled down step-by-step. Yes, you will need the advice of a professional to help you along the way. However, you need to realize that if you do give all the above steps the appropriate amount of attention, there is no reason that you cannot raise the capital you need.

NO FLUff!
The Godfather of HARD MONEY on Private Money Lending in Todays Market
By Robb Magley

eonard Rosen is known alternately as the Godfather of hard money (hes been in the business for 35 years) and the Pitbull. Unsurprisingly, the second nickname has a good story behind it. Back in 1982 was my debut as a six oclock anchor on the national cable network, Financial News Network, said Rosen. My very first night going on I was nervous. We had put all of what I was going to say on a teleprompter 13 minutes of me speaking. As I was getting ready, and the director was counting me down, he said 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... Leonard, Im sorry, we lost everything on the teleprompter ... 2 ... 1 ... youre live. He laughed. And I do this, he said. I went 14 minutes, live, first time on national television. The guy walked up to me after and said, Only a pitbull could make that happen. And it just kind of stuck. Its hard to find a more fervent booster for the industry, whether you call it hard money or just private money lending; Rosens Pitbull Conference, which teaches the insand-outs of these loans for real estate, has produced 31 national conferences, with the next one set for February 20th in Ft. Lauderdale. And he doesnt see enthusiasm for the product dying down any time soon. I think its one of the best investments in todays marketplace, said Rosen. I think being a hard money lender is a great opportunity, and I think being an investor who invests with a hard money lender is a great opportunity.

Hard money lending gets its Leonard Rosen name from the practice of basing loans strictly on the hard equity and hard asset no fluff, said Rosen, no long stories about a borrowers 20-year plan for a particular property. The only questions are, one, what is the propertys value, and two, how much equity does the borrower have in it? said Rosen. The loan is based on the amount of equity they have in the real property thats it. These loans have been a part of the marketplace for half a century, according to Rosen, but since 2008 and the real estate implosion, private money lending has grown to fill the gap left by traditional lenders. (The banks) have extremely tight lending criteria now, from a creditworthiness standpoint and a regulatory standpoint, said Rosen. They are not taking the normal business risks they were over the past 10 years; unless you have stellar credit, and a piece of real estate that you have significant equity in, the chances of getting any kind of real estate financing from them is very slim. Enter the hard money investors. The loans are primarily used in commercial real estate, investor fix-and-flips, or any short-term project where borrowing is used to solve a problem or bridge a situation until the implementation of an exit plan for example, to refinance or sell a property within a year or so. Sometimes investors will buy property on the courthouse steps, or REOs from the bank, and theyll get them at wholesale prices, said Rosen. Imagine a propertys worth $100,000, and an investor has $35,000 into it. In comes the hard money
PAGE 55 2014

lender with the remaining $65,000; the investor improves the property, puts it on the market, sells it, pays the hard money lender back, makes a profit everybody wins. And, if the borrower doesnt pay, the hard money lender is in first position to take the property. Rosen points out that most lenders have no interest in being in the real estate business. They want to be in the lending business, he said. But if they have to take it, they can. One of the big keys to making the investment more secure for the hard money lender, according to Rosen, is to underwrite the asset correctly; loaning too much for a property can spell disaster should the need to liquidate arise. Every asset, and this includes real estate, has a retail value and a wholesale value, said Rosen. A retail value is what a property is worth given a 12-month marketing time to liquidate the property; the wholesale value is whatever the property is worth in a fire sale. If I had to sell this property in 30 days, what is it worth? Those are going to be different numbers. A hard money lender has to lend based on that lower value, so they have comfortable cushion built-in just in case they suddenly find themselves in the real estate business. Rosens conferences put a lot of focus on a trend hes watched become increasingly important in his industry: the creation of real estate funds, where a lender deploys not only his own capital but also that of a group of small investors under him.

During the downturn in 2008, We had a positive albeit slightly positive year because we were able to read the writing on the wall and prepare and guide our clients through the murky waters. Today, Fragoso pointed out, inventory is lower even than it was in 2005; the challenge, however, is that in addition to low inventory and low interest rates, the market is facing low buyer demand. Nationally, 58% of all sales are cash sales,

arket statistics roll off the tongue of Anchor Loans Robert Fragoso with the practiced ease of a true industry wonk; hes got a real interest, not only in what makes things tick, but in knowing about it before the next guy does and in making sure his investors can act on that information. Having the best information means the difference between having a great year and living through a financial disaster, according to Fragoso, Anchor Loans diverse organizational interests is part of what gives them their edge over the competition. In addition to offering private financing for investors who fix and flip properties, Anchor has an escrow company, a construction company, a software development division and an acquisitions arm each offering ground-level market intelligence to one another that can prove invaluable. Most lenders look at loans strictly from a lending standpoint, said Fragoso. But because were actually in the market ourselves, we can adjust more quickly than others might. Were able to see construction costs the day they change. Every time theres a shift in the market, we can see the effect in our own listings.

Its very easy for us to adapt and tailor make a loan program required to meet any needs.
When new information comes along, Fragoso and Anchor Loans tell their investors to adapt too. Two years ago, according to Fragoso, a lot of people were having difficulty finding deals for fix-andflips in the cash-flow attractive, lower-priced properties. Because the company had carefully studied the goals and buying parameters of the large hedge funds investing in the area, Fragoso and Anchor were offering what seemed like counterintuitive advice: spend more per deal. We told our clients, look, you realize all these hedge funds are coming in to buy these properties, and its like trying to fight an 800-pound gorilla, said Fragoso. They dont care about the price, and they have a billion dollars to put out there. So their guidance was to step out of that price point and look at higher-priced opportunities. The big guys couldnt buy properties at $400,000 and above, because it didnt make sense from a cash
PAGE 56 2014

said Fragoso. That means cash sales have surpassed not just the first-time home buyer, but every home buyer. That means the fix-and-flip investor needs to re-think their rehabs to match the market and the all-cash investor isnt necessarily looking for the same things as a first-time home buyer. Especially the guys who fix and flip in high volume, they tend to have a cookie-cutter approach where they do the same thing to every house, every time, said Fragoso. The problem with doing that is you miss out on opportunity when changes occur. If you look at the all-cash investor, theyre looking for value add and additional opportunities. Gearing your rehabs toward those people might mean, for example, not completely 100% remodeling the house the opposite of what a first-time home buyer would want.

So you love real estate... but you hate management?

ant today. According to Fragoso, income levels now are about a third lower than they were in the previous real estate cycle, and home prices are off only by about 20%. The result is an unsettling disconnect, an insecurity thats contributed to weak demand every bit as much as the higher bar conventional lending has set. When home buyers find it more difficult to qualify for conventional loans, youre going to see a buildup of inventory and a lack of demand, said Fragoso. Forecasting for 2014, I think itll seem like a sluggish year but still positive due to low inventory. But there are niches in this market that are going to identify themselves that will make some people a lot of money, if they can capitalize on them. When a market trends downward, according to Fragoso, a lot of investors worry themselves into inaction, thinking they cant buy anything. But the beauty of fix and flips, he added, is that youre not in the market that long. Youre in and out relatively quickly, said Fragoso. As long as you dont have a depreciation factor of 2% or more per month, you can adjust your percentage of profit and you can still make money. And, while it might not be as much as you might have made in a different market, youre still in there. Its easy to forget, but people made money in 2009, 2010, and 2011, said Fragoso. You cant be afraid of a down market. You just have to be able to identify where its headed. For more information about Anchor Loans, visit the website: www.AnchorLoans.com

6 Tips for a SUCCEssFUL

five $50,000 loans than one $500,000 loan or even a $1 million loan! You can charge more points on smaller loans, plus the fees. They close quicker and easier. Larger loans fail to close at a much higher rate than smaller loans. FOCUs. Be specific in your advertising and marketing. Dont say that you are nationwide and you fund all loan types and loan amounts. I guarantee you that brokers who market themselves as such do not have a thriving business. StRIVE FOR tOtAL tRANspARENCY. If you check out our website you will notice that we dont have pictures of skyscrapers or smiling people in suits shaking hands. We have pictures of actual deals we have funded. We have our names, addresses, pictures and email addresses for all the world to see. We use our direct phone number with area code so people know our business is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Google us and you will find our detailed LinkedIn profiles. Weve never pretended to be something we werent. Your authenticity and transparency will attract customers to you in a big way. REFER, DONt BROKER. We originate loans. We rarely broker loans to other brokers. But we refer deals

Tremendous opportunities exist today for private money loan brokers. We found the following disciplines helped tremendously in growing a thriving private lending brokerage.
StAY LOCAL. The private lending business model is most successful when you focus locally. Most of your loans should be within 100 miles of your office. Most of your private lenders will be local to your community. You will succeed in funding loans because you are a local expert and you understand your local marketplace. Remember that a reputable private lender is really in the investment business first, and the lending business second. Invest in what you know and where you know. For example, we are Northern California-based, and we dont spend time on most Southern California loan applications. FIND YOUR sWEEt spOt. If the funding capacity of the majority of your investors ranges from $50,000 to $250,000 then market this range as your niche. Be honest with your referral network as to your sweet spot. Besides, a guy that needs a $50K loan will not be well served by a broker who regularly funds million dollar loans. Build your book of business by starting out small, creating volume, then working your way up to larger loans. You can earn more in fees by doing
Realty411Guide.com

almost every day. When a call comes in for a loan thats outside of our area, expertise or capacity, we will refer that caller to one or more brokers from our database of reputable private loan originators. Brokering, in most cases, is a waste of your focus and time. Especially if the lead is coming from another broker. You do not want to be in the middle of a daisy chain. Daisy chain deals mostly fail because the borrower does not get well served. The reason they fail is that there is no way for every agent to get paid without over-charging the borrower. The universe will reward you if you selflessly refer to other brokers those leads which dont fit your niche. Because of the literally hundreds of leads we have referred to other lenders over the past several years, the goodwill it created has resulted in referrals coming back to us daily from people to whom we selflessly referred business months or even years ago. COACHING, MENtORING & CONsULtING. The best investments you can make are in yourself and your business. Success and leadership coaching are an important part of my life. The books you read, the seminars you attend, and the videos you watch will help you to master the disciplines you need in order to succeed in a world full of distractions and naysayers. Attend industry conferences and seek out those who have achieved success in this business and follow their advice. Hire an industry professional to review your practices and help you achieve compliance with state and federal regulations. Conduct this business properly, and soon you will have a steady stream of new leads as you grow your local reputation for performance and thoroughness.

The Godfather of Hard Money, pg. 55

Thats where the market is going, said Rosen, and thats what I specialize in, helping investors create real estate funds. Rosen said hes seeing more and more investors deploy capital utilizing different types of retirement accounts, such as self-directed IRAs, and start (or join) these funds to enjoy better returns and increased security; theres little not to like. At the end of the day, the borrower gets to borrow money, said Rosen. The investors in the fund get a good dividend yield, secured by a good position on prime real estate. The hard money lender gets the origination points, the arbitrage spread the difference between what you pay your investors and what you charge your borrowers and fees for management and servicing of the fund. In a perfect world, everybody walks away happy. And Rosen will continue to spread the message: Shifting at least some of your investments away from the equities market and into the real estate market by becoming a hard money lender can increase returns and, done correctly, make your investments more secure. And its just the right time for it, he said. Im a big advocate for the private lending sector in this economy, Rosen said. I think it produces jobs, it produces commerce, it puts people to work. It does a lot of good things. For more information about Leonard Rosen and hard money lending opportunities, visit the website at: www.pitbullconference.com
