Recent Closing | $11,642,725 Financing Recapitalization & Funding for Remaining 36 Homes Valley Center, CA A repeat borrower approached LFB Ventures with a request to recapitalize their existing project and complete the remaining 36 single family homes. This project represented the affordability component of a 623-unit master planned community in northeast San Diego County. The sponsors had already completed and sold the first 16 units in phase 1, but were in need of vertical construction financing to complete phases 2 and 3. LFB Ventures was able to provide the sponsors with a $11,642,725 loan to retire the existing construction debt and fund the remaining construction costs for 36 homes. LFB was also able to navigate complex title issues since construction had already begun. Additionally, LFB was able to re-negotiate a subordination agreement with a current junior lender. The project will offer 3 bed/2.5 bath units with an average home size of 1,450 square feet. The units will be offered to new owners who qualify at 80%-120% of the area median income. #LFB #LFBventures #capital #debt #equity #construction #financing #land #housing #sandiego #masterplan #affordablehousing

$700 Million in Ads for Harris according to the New York Times. Let’s put this into perspective. $700m for a Housing Kickstarter fund can build 25,480 new homes per year and continue indefinitely. How? The Housing Kickstarter fund is a bridge fund that helps local homebuilders secure construction loans. Bridge funding is needed due to the equity gap that Loan to Cost construction loans create. Prior to 2008, construction loans were based on Loan to Value. This is why we have a Housing Crisis. #affordablehousing #politics #lending

Recent Closing | $24,750,000 Financing   Recapitalization of an A&D Loan for a 2,300+ unit Master Plan Lake County, FL  LFB Ventures was engaged by a private equity group which provides acquisition and development financing to small and medium size real estate developers across the United States, to assist their efforts to restructure an existing first position note they hold for a 2,300+ unit master planned community located in Lake County, FL. The engagement entailed structuring a note participation with fresh equity contributed by a source secured by LFB, creating immediate liquidity for the private equity group while still capturing maximum upside upon future exit from the project.  The subject property is comprised of nearly 40 tax parcels covering approximately 700 acres and is currently entitled for 1,500+ single family homes and 800+ multifamily units.  The expansive project, once developed, will bring much needed affordably priced housing to the Lake County, FL area and will provide homebuilders in the region with ample opportunities to secure new land positions in a highly desirable sub-market.  LFB is actively advising acquisition, development, and construction lenders on the sale and restructure of their existing loans and portfolio of loans. #LFB #LFBventures #masterplan #financing #noteonnote #recap #housing #land #development #structuredfinance #construction

Another informative blog written by our partners at Claymeadow Group on overcoming financing challenges. Financing real estate projects can be one of the biggest challenges for developers, especially with the limitations of traditional lenders. But there's good news—alternative financing options, like private funds, can offer more flexibility than conventional banks. If you have any questions about real estate investing and how private lending is part of it, DM us and we will be very happy to discuss it further and fully explain why we love it so much. . .

I have excess deals … do you want one? I’m really good at finding them. The years and thousands of hours of deal analysis, the relationships built over many years, the learning from my own projects have honed my knack of finding the 1 in 25. There’s only so many we can do ourselves without increasing our risk exposure past acceptable levels. So, I am starting to pass these onto others. Examples: - flip in Essex - pre-tax profit £42k - Small title split of two units in Kent - all money out and social housing contract exit. - Flip in Kent - pre tax profit £38k. - Title split of multi unit block in Kent - equity creation of £375k with low money in via specialist lender. I’ve got absolutely excellent build teams in the areas I operate in, Mid and South Essex & East Kent. I can simply pass on for a fee or be involved project managing through the whole process. Any project I pass on I would do myself. Anything too risky is discounted, anything with margins too low is discounted. Good deals only. Areas I operate in myself. So if you’re serious and looking for a solid deal with no number inflation and an actual understanding and knowledge of the mechanics, risks, numbers and work involved - I can help you.
