Yes! Unlike with a traditional loan, qualifying for a private loan is based primarily on your ability to repay the loan and less on your credit score. Even if you’ve experienced adverse credit events, a short sale or even some types of bankruptcies, you may still qualify for a Benworth Private Loan.

First, a faster approval process means you’ll usually get a loan decision within hours.

Additionally, with faster closings funds are usually available in a matter of days. In many instances, you can get a competitive edge by having the funds available to secure a favorable price on real estate.

The rate is also fixed. That means you can plan to repay a fixed amount every month instead of a variable amount. And if you want to pay the loan off early, no problem. While some lenders charge a penalty for prepaying the loan, Benworth Capital doesn’t charge a prepayment penalty.

As we don’t have to perform extensive credit checks or review your credit history, a loan decision can be made much more quickly.

The documents you’ll need will vary by loan type. What we can tell you for sure is that it won’t be a lot. You’ll need a valid government ID to validate your identity. If you’ll be holding the property in an LLC or other legal entity, we’ll also need articles of organization at closing.

No, but you can if you choose to.

No worries. Benworth Capital Private Loans don’t require a lot of documents which may not be issued in your country. We will just need a valid government ID and other documents to verify your identity.

You can get a hard money loan for residential and commercial property in Florida, including single-family residential, commercial, land and industrial.

You can borrow funds to purchase residential property, acquire property to operate your business, or invest in income-producing real estate projects.

You would need to give a down-payment that’s equal to 35% of the property value.

Your loan-to-value ratio must be no more than 65%.

Here’s a quick way to calculate:

Current loan balance divided by Current Value of property = LTV

Multiply the LTV by 100 to get a ratio (or percent)

If your LTV ratio is too high, you can pay down your current loan amount to qualify. Or consider a second mortgage for an amount up to $25,000.
