2.9.2013 – First Time Home Buyer News

February 9, 2013/0 Comments/in Recent Post /by Sacha Ferrandi

Don’t let lack of funding or a slow moving loan process keep you from buying your dream home!

Buying your first home can come with mixed emotions. It can be exciting, fun, scary and also be stressful. Not only is applying for your first home loan a learning experience it can also be a slow process. That’s okay, if time is on your side, but in many cases, it simply is not. Although active and prominent first time home buyers are a sign of increased health in the market, they are currently facing some issues. Because the market is getting healthier with less foreclosures and more sales, supply is diminishing.

Along with less property availability, first time home buyers are finding it is not just them racing to purchase. They are having to compete with financially sound investors with cash in hand, ready to buy on the spot. Because first time and many other groups of home buyers have to rely on a bank loan for financing they are often pushed out of the race. The slow processing time makes someone applying for a home loan no match for an investor that can pay full price immediately in cash. After all that extra time spent waiting, the borrower may not even get the loan, due to the stringent guidelines and criteria traditional banks are required to abide by.

The article at the link below highlights the current market and the large number of first time home buyers present. It explains more about their situation, including the competition they are currently faced in the marketplace.

First Time Home Buyer’s and Their Issues in Today’s Market

Even if you qualify for a traditional bank loan, you may need a loan fast in order to compete with investors or other eager buyers for the property you want. Source Capital not only offers loans to those with challenged credit, but they are also a resource for those needing money fast.

I was looking for a hard money lender to assist with a blanket encumbrance transaction. Sacha and his team were on point from our first call to funding. They were professional and easy to work with. We will definately be using them for our future transactions.

Sasha and his team have been amazing. I deal with many lenders and over times it’s been very difficult to get loans done with a variety of new rules they require. Sasha was able to analyze the deal and fund seamlessly. I will be working with him on many more deals! Highly recommend if your looking for a good lender! A+++

What can I say about Sacha. The guy is a legend. Well spoken, professional, best of all very very honest. He doesn't give you the go around , yes means yes no means no. If he can deliver he'll tell you straight up. You don't have to send an email and wait for hours or days to get an answer. He usually responds within 30 minutes to an hour. I'll definitely work with Sacha and his team again. The 5 stars rating on Google for once is right. Thanks Sacha.

I had an excellent experience with Source Capital Funding Inc. I found them online so I was skeptical at first but they were very earnest, helpful and informative which put me more at ease… And the closing was quick and easy too! Moreover, the rate that I obtained was very competitive even now in this high-interest rate environment. I highly recommend this company! So save yourself time and worry and go with Source Capital Funding… I’m so happy I did!

I was referred to Sacha for funding from a referral source on a tough file in TX. Sacha is a great guy. He's easy to talk to and is very transparent about everything. The whole process from A-Z was seamless. I would highly recommend Sacha and his company.

"I have worked with hard money lenders in the past but no one like this guys. Very quick closing and no hassle. I was very pleased with the way the staff works with you closely and very quickly in resolving any issue that arises. I personally worked with Sacha and Marie who answered every question I had. They were on top of my loan, making sure the closing went quickly. They were AWSOME!!! I will definitely use them again in the future. Highly recommend".

Douglas B.

1685569749

I can't say more than enough about my experience with Source Capital. They went above and beyond my expectations. The communication from both Ryan and Marie from beginning to the end is what really made the deal. I interviewed two other lenders and it didn't seem like they would be able to structure the deal in the timeframe needed to make the close date. When I emailed a question I either had a fast reply from Marie or Ryan was calling me to answer my questions.I look forward to doing more deals with SCF.

I have met Ryan Burns a few times and it's always been a pleasure being in his company. He's been helpful and honest with me with matters that I needed feedback on. He just informs and allows me to decide for myself on the issue.

Harshdeep S.

We were having a hard time sourcing some last minute funding and I came across Source Capital Funding, Inc online and decided to call based on the reviews and I’m very glad I did! Sacha was open and honest about expectations from the first day, and after the first call he let me know whether he could do the deal or not in 24 hours. The process was simple and efficient, and we had the loan approved within the first 2 weeks. There were no surprises about fees or paperwork, everything was laid out to me right from the start and nothing changed through the process. Absolutely amazing service and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to source some capital for their deals!

Ernesto A.

I was having a hard time finding a Hard Money Lender for our client and stumbled upon Source Capital Funding, Inc. I noticed they had great ratings, so I contacted them and spoke to Sacha. He was direct and to the point, very helpful. The staff was great to work with and very responsive. We were able to close quickly with no issues. I look forward to using them again in the near future and would definitely recommend them.

I am very impressed with Source Capital Funding. Sacha and his team are very friendly and professional and I would definitely recommend them. I hope to do business with Source Capital again in the future.

I spent a lot of time trying to get a cash out refinance on a home I purchased through my LLC. This was nearly impossible without first taking it out of my LLC and then put it back at a later date (or so I was told by so many financial institutions). I owned the home entirely and should have been a no-brainer to use the equity in this fully remodeled home. After some extensive and exhausting research, along came came Source Capital one of the last shots at getting this done. What a world of difference!In these crazy times to find this company was/is simply amazing! Ryan Burns Spoke with me and listened to what I was looking to do and to my surprise understood exactly what I wanted, and still keep it in my LLC. Working with him and the wonderful Marie Gleason who walked me through the entire paperwork process, and insured everything was processed just how I had envisioned it. I cannot thank these wonderful people enough. They helped my business when I needed it the most, andand in a wonderfully short time the whole package was done and funded. I will definitely go to them for my future needs.

IMPRESSIVE! I came across a great opportunity and needed a loan fast. I was introduced to Source Capital Funding by a respected friend and business associate. I called Ryan and he knew exactly what was needed and made sure the program/process was crystal clear during our first conversation. The 5-Star review was absolutely earned by both Ryan and Marie as they were knowledgeable, attentive, and quick to respond… especially when I needed it most!!! Sincerest appreciation to Ryan and Marie for their guidance and professionalism. The transaction went off without a hitch, with lightning quick funding, enough said!

I'm a private money broker and being in the middle can prove to be real challenge. The lender and the borrower dance is a unique one to say the least. However Sacha and Source Capital Funding made the entire dance easy. From the user friendly portal...down to listening and addressing our hurdles on the file...Sacha made it happen. If you're seeking a private money lender look no further.

My loan was not your typical situation and was fraught with hiccups. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate my fears and tackle each problem quickly and efficiently. His calm and intellect in the face of everything that was thrown at him was impressive and made the experience smoother than it ever should have been. Marie should be commended for jumping in when needed to send paperwork and docs all over the place; all the while, taking my numerous calls and keeping me in contact with Ryan. She is definitely the glue in the Source Capital office. Thank you guys for everything!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
