Asset Based Loans for Real Estate Investors

Stratton Equities is a private money and NON-QM Mortgage Lender that works with Asset Based Loan programs providing more mortgage options to offer borrowers. This presents any real estate investor with a loan option to suit their unique circumstances and loan scenario. 

 

As a borrower working with a Private Money Loan or Hard Money Loan, both asset-based loan programs establish loan qualification on the value or potential value of an investment property. This is ideal for real estate entrepreneurs who may have trouble qualifying for a conventional loan due to credit history, cash flow, and self-employed status, are ideal candidates for an Asset Based Loan program. 

Our Hard Money and Direct Private Money loan programs support the following investment projects:

Unlike a traditional mortgage lender, who relies on proof of employment, tax documentation, and credit score. A private money and hard money lender, like Stratton Equities, bases loan approval on the value or potential for the value of a property, making this ideal for real estate investors who might be self-employed have poor credit or other circumstances which make traditional mortgage approval difficult. Approval is based on the Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV), which compares the loan amount to the value of the property.
