We offer secured and unsecured loans. 

Most of our secured loans are mortgage loans, which are short term loans secured by properties. As a lender, we will have the first legal mortgage on the subject property.  The borrower may later choose to refinance the property with long term conventional financing or to sell the property in order to pay off the secured loan.

Alternative financiers like us are able to approve and fund a loan much more quickly than a bank and do not require as much documentation. Approval and funding from us can be completed within a week or two.  A loan from a bank will take at least 30 to 45 days.

We are primarily concerned with the value of the real estate that will serve as collateral for the loan and the loan to value (“LTV”) ratio, while the banks focus on the borrower’s credit rating and income.

• The application process is quick and easy.
• The loan can be funded very quickly, usually within 14 working days (for unencumbered properties).
• A buyer can still obtain secured financing from us even if they have issues such as low credit scores, insufficient income history, recent short sales or foreclosures or even bankruptcy history.

• The borrower doesn’t want to go through the lengthy application process at a bank.
• A bank has already denied the borrower’s request for a loan.
• The borrower needs funding quickly.
• The borrower has issues with their credit, income, a recent short sale, foreclosure or bankruptcy.

• The interest rates on loans from alternative financiers are usually higher than conventional bank loans.
• Our secured financing facility is usually meant for short-term use.

After contacting us, the prospective borrower must complete a loan application with their personal information and information about the subject property. We will quickly review this information and determine if the loan is feasible.

The credit of the borrower is of some importance but the most important factor is the loan to value (LTV) ratio based on the propertyto be mortgaged to us. The subject property will then be appraised by a independentvaluer. Once this is completed, we will move forward in processing the loan and funding can be delivered in a matter of days once the necessary paperwork is done by the lawyer.

When a borrower defaults on a hard money loan they are in danger of being foreclosed upon and losing the property or properties which they used as collateral to secure the loan. Foreclosure is not the desired course of action for us, as we would much rather prefer to be paid back in full for the balance of the loan without any additional hassle. When a borrower begins to miss payments, we will reach out to them and try to work out a mutually acceptable solution. Foreclosure is the absolute last resort.

We operate under the rules and regulations of the Singapore Moneylenders’ Act.

Our loan can be funded within two weeks.  This is a huge benefit to using alternative financiers like us as banks could take 30 days or longer to fund the same loan request.

Banks hold money from their depositors and pay them an extremely low interest rate. The bank can thus afford to lend at a  lower interest rate. We get funds from private investors (or fund the loans ourselves) who expect a higher interest rate due to the increased risk taken on by the lender.

Unlike the banks or other conventional financing institutions, we are much less concerned with a borrower’s credit and Credit Bureau (CBS) scores. We instead focus on the value of the property being purchased or refinanced. Credit scores alone should not prevent a borrower with bad credit from obtaining a loan from us.
