Commercial Loan Broker - Loan Officer

Investment real estate has been the preference of many investors seeking capital appreciation in prosperous times and capital preservation during adverse economic conditions. Carefully selected income producing real estate has consistently provided attractive returns through knowledgeable management. Few investors have the time and money to do this efficiently and choose to form a partnership.

Real estate partnering allows investors to leverage resources with others who share similar investment goals,  sharing directly in the benefits of owning larger, diversified real estate portfolios. Partnering also limits personal liability and maximizes Return on Investment (ROI).

The Fernandez Group (FZG) continues to build on its 14+ years in the loan origination industry. Originating commercial loans through a strategic partnership with Commercial Capital Ltd, FZG will broker commercial capital to small – medium businesses and real estate investors locally and regionally.

Banks Can’t Touch This!

We close loans QUICK!Local Banks Can’t Touch Our Speed?

SPEED is the name of the game.  Sometimes you have clients who just need to close fast.  We can get the deals done QUICK, just check out these two closings…

Investor Refinance of a $1.2 million loan on a retail shopping center.  The client came to us after being denied by a local bank.  The note was due and the lender was willing to extend it on an adjustable loan but this borrower wanted a low fixed rate.  We closed her in 34 calendar days from app to closing BUT, she took 4 days to sign the commitment letter.  We could have closed this in 30 days!   We did this with our IN-HOUSE LENDING PROGRAM.   That was with a new appraisal, inspections, everything.  Her Rate? 5.9 fixed for 5 years.  

The borrower said at the closing, “Thank you SOOO much.  Orlando said I would be in good hands”.  If the borrower won’t hesitate, we can close conventional loans with great rates in 30 days consistently on our in-house program.

Discounted Note Deal closed in 8 days!  Sometimes people don’t have 30 days.  This guy was going to lose the property if he did not close by Wednesday.  The lender was calling the note and offered a deep discount if he would pay it off by a certain date-otherwise, they would execute the foreclosure.  He signed our agreement on Monday, March 28.  We ordered a quick review appraisal on the spot and had the file closed the following Wednesday-in just 8 business days through our private money fund.  This fund will look at any type of property as long as the deal makes sense.  It must be RE based, and we won’t go above 65% LTV but we can close lightning quick.  This borrower got $500,000 off on his note by closing on time and saved his property to boot!

The broker who sent the deal said, “Ernie called & is thrilled at how well everything went with the closing. He couldn’t thank me enough for getting this done in such a short time period. He now believes that I have the ability to get loans closed & will be sending referrals over my way.”   Closings beget more closings!

If you have a loan that needs to close quickly, or you know of someone who needs to close quickly, give me a call.  Our in-house lending and our private money fund are closing loans and fast. Call me today (888) 890-2416 or email at info@thefernandezgroup.com.

Perry Fernandez

P.S. We are closing commercial loans of all types, from the new High LTV 504 Refinances that can allow commercial refinances to 90% LTV all the way to private money transactions for people with “issues”, we can get them done!  Call me today at (888) 890-2416 for help for you or someone you know-we have money to lend!

Clear Vision to Stimulate the Economy

Tags: , , , , ,

We Need Vision to Stimulate the EconomyI attended our bi-weekly  men’s “Band of Brothers – Meat Only Potluck” at Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose, Ca last night. Since I was in a hurry, I went to the fast food drive-thru and bought the meal deal 10 taco package from Taco Bell to share with the other men.

For sure, it may not hit all the P90X mineral and nutrient levels, but it didn’t matter, the tacos combined with whatever meat meals someone else brought always seemed to go down better when you’re surrounded by Godly men in pursuit of something more and anticipating a word of direction for their lives.

For the past several weeks, the discussions at these “Band of Brothers – Meat Only Potlucks” have been centered around Dr. Myles Munroe’s book on “Vision” –  The Power of Vision, Being Directed by a Clear Vision, Your Potential in the Vision.

As men, we all need to have a vision for ourselves, our family and our business. From Stephen Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Habit #2 is “Beginning with the End in Mind”, having a clear vision of what we want to accomplish, or better yet, having clarity as to our purpose.

I wanted to share some of my notes about our discussion last night.

Jesus said…I must be about my Father’s business (Luke 2:49)….for this purpose I have been sent (Luke 4:43)…I have finished the work which You have Given Me (John 17:4)

We must be directed by a clear vision by asking ourselves the burning questions that open us up to those mysterious answers awaiting to be confirmed by our inner desires, such as, What is it I want? (Neh 2:4)…Why was I born?

To have a vision, we must choose where we want to go in life and then be Decisive and Faithful in carrying it out. However, in order to find your vision, you must be in touch with the values and priorities of The Kingdom of God.

Just as important, we have to know our potential for fulfilling vision. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more that all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work with us (Eph 3:20)

Remember that whatever we were born to do, we are equipped to do. And we must come into awareness of our potential. For God will never call us to an assignment without giving us the provision of accomplishing it. Don’t ever allow anyone else to judge your potential.

Ultimately, dreams are given to us to draw out what’s already inside us and to activate God’s power in enabling us to achieve our visions.  Our ability to accomplish our vision is manifested when we say Yes to our dream and Obey God.

If you are in search of your Vision and happen to be in the Silicon Valley Area, Ca, I encourage you to attend a Band of Brothers event.  Email me for more information at perry@thefernandezgroup.com.

The Fernandez Group has a passion for creating solutions needed to improve the local economy and America. We believe that improving the economy by job creation comes from local entrepreneurs and investors having a clear vision.

Commercial Foreclosures Up 500%

“Hang on for the ride”, was the mantra at a recent conference I attended regarding commercial real estate investing.

As thrilling as the opportunity might sound, I wanted more insight as to what all the HYPE was about in commercial real estate investing, so I decided to jot down some notes that struck a chord.

BUT IS IT ALL HYPE? You be the Judge…

Over the last decade many commercial property owners took advantage of the flexible lending environment, financing their dreams with highly leveraged, short to mid-term loans, anticipating quick future appreciation. But with the dramatic change in the economy and property values decreasing, the possibilities of refinancing are now slim to none.

The Big Wave is coming…property owners can’t refinance, can’t sell, where more and more banks are forced to work with the owners. It’s anticipated that over the next 18-24 months, everything will be on sale…

For those looking to CASH IN on the FIRE SALE…

Here are 7 Deadly Sins to Avoid in Commercial:

1. Paying too much for the property
2. Not enough cash equity for the investment
3. Lack of initial property due diligence
4. Over leveraging the property
5. Believing you can obtain market rate financing without having skin in the game
6. Waiting until the last possible moment to arrange financing and picking the wrong mortgage broker to provide financing for your project
7. Lack of a solid exit plan

Now that you know what to avoid, here are 6 common types of commercial opportunities:

1. Multi-family
2. Office Space
3. Retail
4. Mixed Use (Lifestyle Communities)
5. Hospitality (Hotels, Hospitals, Self-Storage, Mobile Home Parks)
6. Raw Land

And where do you find these opportunities? well here are 13 tried and true places to find commercial deals:

1. Hard Money Lenders
2. Private Lenders
3. Bank Workout Department
4. Defaulted Commercial Paper
5. CCIM Realtors, Brokers
6. REIC (Real Estate Investment Club)
7. Attorneys (BK, Probate)
8. Courthouse
9. Internet Search
10. Apartment Association
11. Letters to Owners
12. Distressed Properties
13. Networking Groups

Small Business, Big Opportunity

By thefernandezgroup Leave a Comment

HR 5297 passed the Senate last week.  This Bill is HUGE for small businesses and the economy.

So here is a super quick rundown of just some of the benefits and what they mean to businesses, focusing on a few of the HUGE changes to SBA and commercial lending and what they mean to the marketplace and the economy.

  • Increase of the guarantee on the SBA 7A loan from 75% to 90%.
  • Increase the SBA loan limits on the 7A loan from $2 million to $5 Million and on the 504 loan from $1.5 Million to $5.5 million.
  • Allows refinancing on the 504 Loan Program – THIS IS A GAME CHANGER.
  • Waive the SBA fees – Generally 2% of the loan amount, these fees are now waived until the end of the year.  This makes it cheaper to do these loans and saves borrowers thousands.

The benefits of the Bill will be felt for years to come.  Small businesses are the backbone of this country and by freeing up the credit available to them, by allowing them to consolidate and save money, by allowing the better run businesses and the larger businesses access to capital, we will see an increase in jobs, in revenue, and ultimately, in the economy.

As for us, we are about to get really busy writing up these loans for these hard working small business owners that are the engine of growth in this economy!

  • Firehouse Subs Franchise – Loan Amount: $ 270,000 – Location: Louisville, KY
  • Self- Directed IRA Financing – Loan Amount: $118,000 – Location: Noblesville, IN

The benefits of our Commercial Loan Modification program are substantial and cannot always be quantified in dollars and cents.

For example, we can all agree that an interest rate reduction or the extension of your loan term to prevent a balloon payment or adjustable rate can be expressed in a simple math equation, right? On the other hand, consider the interest earned from increased cashed flow generated from those savings or the equity and returns gained by remaining in business during lean years which will only be realized by implementing a long-term solution.

See, most of our existing clients would not be in business today without the cash flow created by our strategic relationships with major commercial lenders.

The Fernandez Group, a branch of a national commercial lending company, was started by Perry Fernandez to capitalize on the commercial loan requests. Over the years, we have learned the nuances of the commercial lending arena and now have the team in place to provide the great rates and flexibility of a broker with the underwriting knowledge of direct lenders. In so doing, we can fill the void between the local commercial bank with its slow approvals, rigid terms, zero follow-up and restrictive criteria and the “hard money” lenders who will give you 15%+ rates.

In fact, we will help structure the deal and can often get the loan approved with banks and lenders that you would be unable to get done. Plus, through a strategic alliance, we are a direct lender and correspondent lenders with several national banks–which means better pricing for you and your clients; and we have access to all of the nationwide lenders and direct conduits to Wall Street money.

As the numbers of deals we do grow, and the database of lenders that respect our underwriting grows, our ability to provide truly the finest service and terms available is reaching new highs. When you bring your deal to The Fernandez Group, you are getting a partner that will help you get the right deal for your dream. At The Fernandez Group, no dream is too big!

We are fast becoming the most proven player in the commercial lending space and we look forward to working with you to make your commercial dream a reality.

Exponential Business Growth

Exponential Business Growth

Your database is an infinite source of revenue for you.  200 names marketed with alternating methods, such as emails and phone calls are good for a MINIMUM of 5 closings a month when done consistently (emails one month, phone call the next).  You just see 200 names, but those 200 people each know 50 people on a first name basis which makes the database 10,000 and don’t you think you can get just a small percentage of that?  Included in most people’s 50 “fast” names are insurance people, as well as colleagues, friends, church members, attorneys and more, the opportunities are endless!

And in tight times, you can add more value than ever before with a simple follow-up system of alternating emails and phone calls will have you top of their mind and inexpensively as well.  A common question I get goes something like this, “Perry, what do I talk about when I call these people? Especially when I just talked to them 2 months ago?  I was just wondering what kind of conversation topics you might suggest when you are talking to them that often?”

That first call after the first value added email should be a simple, “Just calling to make sure you received the helpful info I sent you” and then move into the best question of all…

“so how are things going?”

The key is to get them talking about their life and especially their problems because in the issues are the opportunities to sell other things…refer them to your affinity partners, etc.

The key is relationship, building trust, solving their problems and if everything is hunky dory, try to at least get a referral …something. Everyone needs to know a good Advisor, especially now as the market has changed.  Make sure they have all your contact info and know that they can refer you.  You do that on every call and you will be winning the game big time.

Remember, don’t make this hard…don’t call to sell them something.  Call to check in, make sure you have their info correctly in your database, check to make sure they received your helpful info, and then ask them “how they are doing” and listen.  Your database is a goldmine just waiting for you to tap it….

Perry

P.S.  Remember, in tough times, often a good commercial mortgage firm can make or break a deal.  Call me today to review not just changes in the industry but ways that we can help grow your business.  We are more than a brokerage-We are trusted advisors COMMITTED to YOUR success.  Just give us a call at 888-890-2416 or email us at info@thefernandezgroup.com

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Providing Liquidity to Illiquid Situations:

The Fernandez Group has private commercial real estate providers of debt and equity nationwide. They partner with, and provide initial transaction terms and due diligence with sponsors, investors, and borrowers who can co-invest on the following types of transactions:

1. Distressed note acquisition
2. Distressed note financing
3. Distressed asset financing
4. Project recapitalizations
5. Existing loans
6. New acquisitions
7. Short term bridge loans

Products consist of deals from $1MM to $7MM and range from 1 to 4 years. If you or your client is in need of such financing please contact our team by clicking on the following link: Submit Scenario

The Fund’s strategy is to be a provider of capital in this market, versus a buyer of assets.

The focus of the Fund will be to provide capital in the form of debt, participating debt, preferred equity and equity. The Fund seeks to work with the following sponsors:

  1. Sponsors who have an opportunity to repurchase their debt.
  2. Sponsors who are in need of recapitalizing or restructuring their existing debt.
  3. Sponsors who have new opportunities under contract (fee simple acquisitions or note acquisitions).
  4. Legacy lenders wishing to sell or joint venture their problem assets.  The Fund has developed a “private bad bank” model, designed to assist privately held community banks in removing troubled assets from the books without a write off and being able to maintain upside.

The Fund is focusing on the smaller balance space, and transactions in the $500,000-$10 million range.  Yield requirements start at 12% and increases based on the risk profile.  The Fund does not typically require recourse or yield maintenance, and transactions can typically be prepaid at any time.

If you or your client is in need of such financing please contact our team by clicking on the following link: Submit Scenario
