Yesterday the SBA released updated, and more relaxed criteria for Disaster Assistance Loans. The SBA will provide this funding directly, not through us or any other lenders. Your welfare is very important to us, so we wanted to make sure you had this information. 

“Over the last week we’ve been contacted by numerous small business owners seeking disaster relief loans, because they have experienced a sudden decline in their revenue due to rapidly deteriorating economic conditions brought on by the coronavirus” said Noah Grayson, President of South End Capital. “I founded South End Capital in 2009 during the midst of the Great Recession, and developed our loan programs to accommodate small business owners and real estate investors who need affordable access to capital in times just like these.”

We closed a 6.5% rate, 10-year fixed, 25-year amortized, 74% LTV investment property loan. Barriers included collateral located in Alaska, low documentation underwriting, and a high LTV.

Below area selection of subprime SBA loans we recently closed. Also, we’re extending our underwriting fee waiver indefinitely. Apply with no risk and pay $0 until you receive a loan commitment (or a decline if ineligible).

This 7.5% rate, 10 year term loan, had no prepay penalty, consolidated ~$4M of debt, and provided ~$1M for working capital and equipment. There was no real estate collateral except a small 3rd lien filed on the borrower’s home. This business had a $600K+ 2018 loss, and borrower credit was <650.

Have you ever tried to get a conventional business or SBA loan but couldn’t qualify, or just didn’t want to deal with all the paperwork? Our new “unconventional” conventional program, has all the benefits of bank or SBA financing, but is NOT bank or SBA financing. 

Locating a hard money loan to fix and flip an investment property may seem like a daunting task. There are so many lenders on the internet offering all types of programs, but don’t get distracted by gimmicks or teaser rates.

These are no credit score minimum, no tax return purchase, refinance, or cash-out loans up to 80% LTV, with rates from 5.75% fixed for up to 30 years, on the below property types.

Below are a selection of subprime SBA loans we recently closed. Also, we’re extending our underwriting fee waiver until 2/29/20. Save up to $2,500 and pay $0 until you receive a loan commitment (or a decline if ineligible). We closed a 7.5% rate, 100% LTC, 25-year term loan. $1M of debt, 16 liens, paid off over 3 entities (5.5% to 60% rates). Projection based loan, 0.44x 2018 DSCR.

We have a number of promotions running in February as well as program updates we’d like to remind you about. Through 2/29 pay $0 until loan commitment when you apply for a subprime SBA loan. Get working capital, purchase a business or real estate, consolidate debt.

Below are a selection of non-conforming commercial and non-owner occupied residential real estate loans we recently funded. We funded a 6% rate, 30-year fixed, 80% LTV loan, with a 5% for 3 year prepay penalty, in 31 days. Barriers included unrestricted cash-out and a fast close.

Starting today and until the end of 2019, we are waiving the out-of-pocket underwriting fee for our subprime SBA program. Pay $0 until you receive a loan commitment (or a decline if ineligible). Save up to $2,500 and apply with no risk!

This cash-out ($108K) refinance was for an 8,000 sq. ft. building occupied 100% by the borrower’s business. An easy non-SBA permanent mortgage was requested and no tax returns were available. We underwrote income off of bank statements only, and funded a 75% LTV, 5-year fixed, 30-year amortized loan at 8.125%.

Below are recent subprime SBA loans we provided for borrowers who were turned down by other SBA lenders or didn’t believe they could qualify for SBA financing. All rates were prime + 2.75% (currently 7.5%), the same rates most conforming SBA lenders charge. 

The problem stems from trying to teach financial responsibility too late in life, says Noah Grayson, president and founder of Norwalk, Conn. -based South End Capital. He advocates introducing young people to finance at the same time they’re learning history, algebra and other standard subjects in school.

South End Capital Corporation (SECC), the nationally recognized, non-conforming real estate and business lender, is pleased to announce a plethora of innovative program and process improvements set to take effect immediately.

Sometimes it seems your only choices in funding a commercial real estate deal lead to a short-term trap. You have the option of gambling on an adjustable interest rate, or going for a fixed-rate loan that resets with a new interest rate after a few years. 

South End Capital is pleased to announce the closing of this $525,000 owner-occupied office refinance loan in Alabama. The borrower’s short-term loan had expired in March of 2019 and the current bank would not offer a refinance. A conventional or SBA loan was not possible with the current loan maturity date passed, and the borrower in need of an alternative income documentation loan.

We provided a $1,205,000, 167% LTV loan which included about $300K of working capital and consolidated $900K of debt. The property housed the borrower’s business and primary residence. Monthly business debt was reduced from roughly $14K to $9K. The final rate was 8.25% and was amortized over 25 years. 

We are pleased to announced the funding of this low documentation refinance loan secured by a 3 building property comprised of a used auto dealership, an auto-body shop and an auto-paint shop. The co-borrower had a 667 credit score but we underwrote the primary borrower’s higher score and provided a 5 year fixed, 30 year amortized loan at 7.5%.

South End Capital has recently announced the closing of 6 subprime SBA loan closings. These loans were provided to business owners who were previously shutout of financing from other SBA lenders. Borrowers with low credit, past derogatory issues, and unique situations are all considered under South End Capital’s program.

This fee waiver will constitute a savings of up to $2,500, and will enable first responders to proceed through our SBA loan process up until the issuance of a loan commitment, with zero out-of-pocket costs.

Starting today our SBA underwriting fee will be waived for any veteran of the US armed services. This fee waiver will constitute a savings of up to $2,500, and will enable veterans to proceed through our SBA loan process up until the issuance of a loan commitment, with zero out-of-pocket costs.
