Planned Unit Development Loans:
Whether you are building a starter condo or a high end ocean front townhome, NewRepublicFunding.com's Planned Unit Development Loan can fund your dream into a reality. Experienced well qualified developers will find that NewRepublicFunding.com is an expert at financially modeling the transaction you are proposing considerate of maintaining a balance of liquid reserves vs required starts vs NRF's Loan to Cost Funding Matrix. The correct financial model will help the developer plan the manpower and materials needed while reducing the overall interest cost of the project.
NewRepublicFunding.com likes the proposed units to fall into the mid range of the market offerings, and not have a DOM that exceeds 90 days. NewRepublicFunding.com encourages developers looking to build for that starter market to apply, and enjoy a rate and origination discount for keeping those units affordable. Preferable the developer has broken the development into multiple buildings, but if it is a planned multi-story build, we still may have interest and a path forward to funding. Projects that are in the top third of the market may also be considered but require a larger profit percentage, and may cause a lower low to cost.
The Planned Unit Development Loan Program will consider the developer's life time experience, but will heavily weigh upon the prior 36 months. We are looking for developer's that can show a proven track record of building and selling or refinancing like kind development projects. If the requested loan exceeds the developer's prior money management experience by 20% or more, NRF may reduce the loan to cost factor involved in the deal. Projects must be shovel ready, as roadwork, utility connections, etc, cannot be considered for financing on the Planned Unit Development Loan program.
Projects ranging in size from $500,000 to $25,000,000 can be considered. Projects must be shovel ready, with all entitlements in place, even though pending approval permits are OK. Whether your project is 2 units, or 200 units NewRepublicFunding.com can financially model the Planned Unit Development Loan to meet your projects needs.
