MARKET UPDATE

SFR Supply Continues To Dwindle

We are starting to sound like a broken record and the chart below shows why. Just when you think the housing inventory shortage can’t get worse, it does! The Association of Realtors just released their August numbers. Overall, in the US inventory levels are down yet again year-over-year (YoY) Nationwide. This has been occurring every year since 2008. Now, in 2023 the number of homes for sale is just 25% of what was available in 2007 & 2008. In the West it is even worse, existing-home sales volume (not prices) slumped 2.6% from the previous month and in August inventory levels are down 15.7% from the prior year.

Of course, with less supply and steady demand there is only one direction prices are going to move; and that is up. In the West for August the median price of a single-family residence came in at $609,300, up 1.0% in a year. For California that number hit almost $860,000 up 5% from August 2022! Other data points are confirming the same with Black King Capital reporting that prices were up 2.3% YoY in July hitting all-time highs. Even Freddie Mac is reporting prices were up in July by 2.9% YoY building on a June increase of 1.6%.

With mortgage rates surpassing 7% for the first time in over two decades and expected to stay elevated in the coming months we expect the supply issues to continue in both the short- and mid-term. Pending sales, in fact, declined nearly 25% in August, which suggests that closed sales in California will likely slip again in September before possibly bouncing back in October.

In the World of commercial real estate office space sees a longer recovery, multifamily is still in high demand and retail continues to rebound. The most recent Allen Matkins/UCLA Anderson Forecast California Commercial Real Estate Survey, released earlier this year, shows a mixed bag of outlooks that vary based on the type of real estate offered. The findings come as the commercial real estate industry continues to navigate rising interest rates, declining valuations, and economic uncertainty, leading to a contraction in new commercial development across most asset classes. However, there are several signs of light at the end of the tunnel.

The biannual survey polls a panel of California’s real estate professionals to project a three-year ahead outlook for commercial real estate and the macroeconomic trends impacting industry participants across the multifamily, office, retail, and industrial markets. The latest survey finds that 29% of Southern California panelists and 20% of Northern California panelists are planning new office developments this year, compared to 48% and 50% in 2022, respectively, when demand was expected to grow alongside supply. However, those expectations did not materialize according to the latest survey, as 2022’s high interest rate environment impacted office market fundamentals.

While industrial remains a strong performer in the commercial real estate industry, the latest survey predicts that demand will remain strong but not increase at the elevated rates of the past two years. We will continue to actively solicit brokers for trust deeds secured by industrial properties as we expect good appreciation in this segment through the long-term horizon.

Retail remains steadfast on the comeback trail. Following a period of headwinds caused by the pandemic and consumer reliance on e-commerce the signs of recovery in the retail market come down to three key factors that are creating optimism for the sector:

• New housing developments are driving demand for nearby retail options
• Return to the office, albeit limited, and a growth in tourism leading to retail demand in metropolitan areas
• The reconfiguration of existing retail establishments adapting to open-air, post-COVID concepts, is attracting new shoppers/customers

Demand of the Fund’s trust deed product offering continues to be extremely strong these past few months big banks & smaller regional banks still have their vaults doors shut to all but prime small-business owners. The lack of traditional financing for them is driving a ton of application flow. Borrowers who are landlords are still snatching up available multi-family properties as soon as they come on the market. With rental rates for housing staying elevated and expected to continue slowly climbing we don’t see this trend ending anytime soon. We do see our existing borrowers struggling to secure new financing. This has led to an uptick in delinquencies and notice of foreclosures being sent out. Thanks to this we expect returns in the fund to also increase as incremental revenue from default interest goes up. We may also get the opportunity to foreclose on a few properties which usually provides tremendous returns & dramatically increases the Fund’s share value.

Thank you for all our existing partners who have been referring over friends & family to join us. Please note that our initial minimum investment is $100,000; however existing partners in the Fund can add on in any amount of $2,500 or more.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHT

Owner of a Southern California awning company needed some capital to purchase wholesale product at a steep discount. His first stop was his local, regional bank. Of course, they turned him down without perfect credit. The then turned to a broker in San Diego who had assisted before His broker’s challenge was finding a partner that would take the time to evaluate and fund a $60,000 deal.

Given the strong equity position in the property we were happy to assist. The process was easy for both the broker and business owner, especially since the loan-to-value ratio was in the low-50 percentile. With such a nice home that showed pride of ownership Coastal Capital was able to close in just four days, highlighting that certainty to close combined with speed often wins us great business.

Looking for a way to get more from your retirement savings? A self-directed IRA (SDIRA) could be the answer. We constantly get asked on how to set this up and asked the firm we recommend providing some insight with our investors:

What is a Self-Directed IRA?

A Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) is quite simply, an IRA. All IRAs abide by the same laws and possess the same capabilities. Unlike other IRAs held at banks, brokerage firms and other institutions, with a SDIRA, you’re not limited to stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

What are the benefits?

A SDIRA gives you the opportunity to build a more diversified and resilient portfolio. It allows you to take advantage of alternative investments such as real estate, precious metals, private equity, notes, and more. A custodian/administrator is required to do the record keeping for the assets in your account, but nothing moves in or out of it without your direction. You decide how much, when, and most of all, what to invest in, giving you the freedom to invest in what you know best.

Investing in Real EstateWith a Self-Directed IRA

Real Estate is a popular investment among SDIRA holders because it is a tangible asset that people know and trust. With a SDIRA, you can invest in a wide range of real estate assets: residential or commercial properties, developed or undeveloped land, condos, hotels, mortgage notes, and more. Depending on what type of account you choose, earnings can continue to be either tax-free or tax-deferred.

The level of control and flexibility associated with a SDIRA does come with its own set of responsibilities. For example, investments made with your SDIRA are owned by your SDIRA, not by you personally, making self-dealing prohibited. Click here for more information on SDIRA rules.

Getting Started

The first step is to decide what type of account you want to open. Then, establish how you’ll fund it. Make sure to consult with a legal and/or tax advisor before you begin can help you to answer these questions. If a SDIRA sounds like it could be the answer to your retirement questions, get your copy of the Self-Directed IRAs Basics Guide.

Brokers Always Welcome

How and When To Use Deeds of Trust

A Deed of Trust, also known as a trust deed, is a document used in some states to secure a loan against real property. The parties involved in a Deed of Trust are the trustor (borrower), beneficiary (lender), and trustee (neutral third party). The trustee holds the property in trust until the loan is paid in full by the borrower.

Deeds of Trust are used instead of mortgages in certain states. They can make the foreclosure process faster and easier for lenders if the borrower defaults on their loan, as the property can be sold without a court proceeding.

Here’s when and how you might use a Deed of Trust:

1. Buying a Home or Other Real Estate: If you’re buying property and need to secure a loan, a Deed of Trust is often used in many states. The Deed of Trust is recorded in the county where the property is located, ensuring that the public record reflects the lender’s interest in the property.

2. Refinancing a Home: If you’re refinancing your mortgage, the original loan is paid off and a new Deed of Trust is created for the new loan.

3. Securing a Loan: If you are lending someone money to buy a home, you might use a Deed of Trust to secure your loan. This would give you the right to sell the property to recover your money if the borrower defaults on the loan.

4. Private or Seller Financing: Sometimes a property seller will agree to finance the buyer’s purchase. In this case, a Deed of Trust could be used to secure the seller’s interest in the property until the buyer pays off the loan.

To use a Deed of Trust:

The borrower (Trustor) and lender (Beneficiary) agree on the terms of the loan.
A neutral third party, the Trustee, is chosen. The Trustee should be someone who can impartially carry out the necessary duties if the borrower defaults.
The Deed of Trust is drafted, including the legal description of the property, the amount of the loan, the terms of repayment, the Trustee’s and the Beneficiary’s names, and the borrower’s obligations. The document also includes a clause that allows the Trustee to sell the property if the borrower defaults on the loan.
The Deed of Trust is signed by the borrower and notarized.
The signed and notarized Deed of Trust is then recorded at the local county recorder’s office.
The borrower makes payments according to the terms of the loan. If the borrower defaults, the Trustee can initiate a non-judicial foreclosure.

Remember that real estate laws and regulations can vary by state and even by local jurisdiction, so always consult with a knowledgeable real estate attorney or professional when dealing with real estate transactions and documents like a Deed of Trust.

Most common things that Private Lenders Look for in Applicants

Private lenders can offer a more flexible and personalized loan process than traditional banks, but they still need to be assured of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. Here are some of the things private lenders typically look for in applicants:

1. Credit History:

Even though private lenders may have more flexible standards than banks, they will still typically review an applicant’s credit history to get a sense of their past borrowing behavior. A good credit score can be an advantage, but a less-than-perfect score doesn’t necessarily disqualify an applicant.

2. Income:

Private lenders will want to see evidence of steady income that’s sufficient to cover the loan payments. This can be from a job, but also from other sources like rental income, dividends, or a business.

3. Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI):

his ratio compares the amount of debt an applicant has to their income. A high DTI ratio may suggest that an applicant could have trouble making loan payments.

4. Collateral:

Many private loans are secured, meaning the borrower offers an asset — such as a home or a car — that the lender can take if the borrower fails to repay the loan. The value of this collateral is a key consideration for the lender.

5. Investment Plan (For Business or Real Estate Loans):

If the loan is for a business or real estate investment, the lender will want to understand the borrower’s plan for the money and how they intend to generate a return.

6. Exit Strategy:

Hard money lenders often offer pre-approvals for their loans, which can greatly speed up the funding process once a specific property has been identified.

7. Experience:

In some cases, such as business or real estate investing, a private lender may consider the borrower’s experience in the field.

8. Personal Character:

Private lenders might also take into account an applicant’s character, reputation, and integrity. This can be especially true in smaller communities or for lenders who have an ongoing relationship with the borrower.

Keep in mind that criteria can vary widely among private lenders. Some might place a lot of emphasis on credit scores, while others are more interested in collateral or the potential profitability of an investment. It’s also worth noting that private lenders’ interest rates are often higher than those of traditional lenders, reflecting the higher risk they take on.

Why Hard Money Loans Close Faster Than Other Loans

Traditional banking institutions might require weeks to approve and distribute your loan, which can be problematic if your project is time-sensitive. To circumvent unnecessary delays that can hinder your project or prolong your acquisition process, consider partnering with private money lenders. At Val-Chris Investments, we are committed to facilitating seamless and prompt transactions that help bring your vision to life. Below, we’ve outlined the reasons why hard money loans are typically settled more quickly than other types of loans:

1. Less Bureaucracy:

Traditional lenders like banks have to adhere to strict regulations and standardized underwriting processes. Hard money lenders are typically private lenders, so they have more flexibility and can move through the approval process more quickly.

2. Less Documentation:

Hard money lenders usually don’t require as much documentation as traditional lenders. They’re primarily interested in the value of the property that will serve as collateral for the loan, so they may not need to review as many financial documents, such as tax returns, pay stubs, or bank statements.

3. Creditworthiness is Less Important:

Because the loan is primarily based on the value of the collateral, hard money lenders are less concerned with the borrower’s credit score. This speeds up the process as thorough credit checks are usually not required.

4. Direct Access to Decision-Makers:

In traditional lending institutions, there are usually several layers of approval required for a loan. With hard money lenders, you’re often working directly with the decision-makers, which can speed up the process.

5. Specialization in Real Estate:

Many hard money lenders specialize in real estate loans and are comfortable dealing with properties that need to be rehabbed, or borrowers who plan to quickly sell the property. Their understanding of the market can expedite the process.

6. Pre-Approval:

Hard money lenders often offer pre-approvals for their loans, which can greatly speed up the funding process once a specific property has been identified.

However, while hard money loans can close more quickly, they often come with higher interest rates and fees than traditional loans. Borrowers should weigh these costs against the benefits of a quicker closing.

June Latest Updates & Insights

COASTAL CAPITAL INSIGHTS

MARKET UPDATE

In May’s InSights newsletter we highlighted the ultra-low inventory of single-family residency & multi-family homes coming into the Spring selling season. Well, the California Association of Realtors released their May sales and home price numbers last week and just when you think it can’t go any lower, it does! The lack of inventory in virtually every California market from North to South, excluding San Francisco of course, is experiencing a severe lack of inventory. In the report, CAR’s C.A.R. Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Jordan Levine is quoted: “While home sales rose solidly in May, we don’t expect to see a rapid recovery because of the lock-in effect that’s keeping prospective sellers with low interest rate mortgages from listing their homes on the market and keeping inventory extremely tight.”

Forty-nine out of 51 counties in California registered sales declines from a year ago in May with 36 dropping more than 20% from the same month a year ago. Other highlights:

New listings down 20% since a year ago
Days on market at a 10-month low
Median price at a 9-month high
Mortgage payment growth rate is more tempered

Given that current low-interest mortgage borrowers have no interest in giving up their low payments (especially in these inflationary times) we fully expect these supply constraints to continue in both the short- & near-term.

The commercial world of real estate is a completely different ball game. Work from home is devastating the commercial office space market. Demand for large office towers in major cities, have yet to rebound as work from home trends turn into the market standard. According to a recent paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, attendance in the 10 largest business districts in the US is still below 50% of its pre-COVID level, as white-collar employees spend an estimated 28% of their workdays at home.

The national average is 19%, including Los Angeles at 26%, NYC at 23%, and Miami at 16% for vacancy rates. As demand has dropped, equity and debt investors have been trying to identify the current value of these properties. An office building in San Francisco owned by MUFG, was previously valued at $300 million is now on the market with just a quarter occupancy rate for an 80% discount! Two buildings in Midtown Manhattan sold for 50% of their asking price last week.

That being said other segments of commercial real estate, such as industrial, retail, hotels are performing pretty well. These segments are usually much smaller properties and well within our credit box and lending limits. This just reiterates that one has to research and know the market (location), the sub-market (commercial, residential, land, etc.) and then drill down even further into the sub-market categories (office, light industrial, retail, etc.)

With $1.5 trillion of commercial mortgage debt coming due by the end of 2025; much of it in office space may default (and it makes for great headlines when a $200M+ building enters foreclosure or sells for pennies on the dollar.) Even though the news may say “the sky is falling” across commercial real estate markets, keep in mind that many of the segments are thriving. This points out our Fund’s strategy of investing in what we know & where we know and what specific state that market is in; great, good or challenging will continue to drive our solid returns.

As for our application desk, California business owners are flooding our inbox with financing requests. The recent banking crisis combined with the clamp down banks’ lending criteria is literally leaving entrepreneurs stranded. Even those with decent credit scores are feeling the pinch. Demand from landlords continues at a brisk pace as well with rental vacancies on most properties being filled almost immediately by tenants who can’t find a residence to purchase. This past month we also started seeing an uptick in our yield with many of our trust deeds going out the door at a 13.99% rate which will help in boosting future returns in a few months.

Thank you for all our existing partners who have been referring over friends & family to join us. Please note that our initial minimum investment is $100,000; however existing partners in the Fund can add on in any amount of $2,500 or more.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHT

In 2023 we have not seen many fix-n-flips deals due bidding wars with homebuyers driving up acquisition cost. This higher cost eats into the profit margin of the flip leaving not enough margin for most flippers to take on risks from potential cost overruns. Our borrower needed just a few bucks to put the finishing touches on the property that he’s been working on for the past six months to get it to market. He knew that this unique two-bedroom property needed tons of curb appeal for a couple with no kids to fall in love with his flip.

The most important factor to him was speed to close as he wanted the house listed ASAP and hopefully sold within a week. Even though the deal size was small, our trust deed contract guaranteed us six months interest (we expect to be paid out in three months doubling the returns hopefully.) So glad we were able to step in quickly thanks to his broker bringing a complete application package to us. Funds were wire in just 5 days.

The Benefits of Trust Deed Investing During Inflationary Periods

The financial environment in the United States has undeniably shifted over the past year. The term ‘inflation’ has become commonplace in our conversations, reflecting its pervasive impact on every facet of our daily lives. The effects of inflation are evident everywhere, from escalating grocery bills and variable fuel costs to sky-high airfare.

In reaction to these surging costs, interest rates have climbed, placing some capital markets in precarious situations. However, a number of real estate investors have found this to be an opportune moment to pivot towards trust deed investments. Continue reading to learn why investing in trust deeds is a savvy move during periods of inflation.

What is inflation?

Inflation is a term used to describe the general increase in prices of goods and services in an economy over time. It essentially means that the purchasing power of money decreases, as the same amount of currency can buy fewer goods or services.

Inflation occurs when there is an imbalance between the supply and demand of money and goods. Some of the main causes of inflation include:

Demand-pull inflation: This occurs when there is excessive demand for goods and services compared to the available supply. When demand outpaces supply, businesses may increase prices to maximize their profits.
Cost-push inflation: This type of inflation is driven by an increase in production costs, such as raw materials, wages, or taxes. When businesses face higher costs, they may pass them on to consumers through higher prices.
Monetary inflation: It occurs when there is an increase in the money supply within an economy. When more money is available, people have more purchasing power, leading to increased demand and potential price increases.

Inflation is typically measured using various indices, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Producer Price Index (PPI), which track the changes in the prices of a basket of goods and services over time. Central banks and governments closely monitor inflation rates and aim to maintain a stable and manageable level of inflation to promote economic growth and stability.

What Causes Inflation in 2023

Pandemic-related economic dislocation: The economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in supply chain problems and fiscal and monetary stimuli provided by governments and central banks around the world in 2020 and 2021.
Supply shortages: The recovery in demand through 2021 led to broad and historic supply shortages, including chip and energy shortages. These were influenced by increasing consumer demand and affected construction sectors worldwide.
Effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine: The Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 affected global prices for oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and food, which exacerbated inflation. Higher gasoline prices, in particular, were a major contributor to inflation, as oil producers saw record profits.
Shift in consumer spending: After the COVID-19 recession, consumers shifted their spending towards goods and away from services, particularly in the United States. This shift placed stress on supply chains, such that the supply of goods could not meet demand, resulting in price increases.
Food and energy prices: In 2023, the International Monetary Fund noted that food and energy were the main drivers of inflation, with rising prices squeezing living standards not only in North America but worldwide.
Increase in the money supply: One theory suggests that the large increase in the money supply in the early months of the pandemic contributed to the uptick in inflation in the U.S. The M2 money supply, a broad measure of the amount of money in the economy, grew at a record monthly rate of between 22% and 31% during this period.

Trust deed investing can be a smart strategy during times of inflation for several reasons:

Hedge Against Inflation: Trust deeds, or deeds of trust, are secured by real estate. Real estate is often considered a good hedge against inflation because property values and the income from properties (rent) tend to increase over time. When inflation rises, rent and property values often rise in response, potentially protecting the investor’s purchasing power.
Fixed Interest Rates: Trust deeds typically have fixed interest rates. This means that the income stream from a trust deed investment can remain constant over time, regardless of inflation. While the real value of this income stream can be eroded by inflation, the nominal value (the actual amount of money received) remains the same.
Short-Term Investment Horizon: Trust deeds are often short-term investments, with terms typically ranging from 1 to 5 years. This can be an advantage during periods of inflation because the investor’s money is not tied up for long periods. This allows for adjustments to be made as economic conditions change.
LTV Ratios: The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio in trust deed investments is usually quite conservative, often capped at around 65% to 70%. This provides a cushion if the value of the underlying property decreases, providing some protection against the risks associated with inflation and market fluctuations.
Priority of Claim: In case of borrower’s default, a trust deed investor is usually the first one to receive their share from the sale of the property since they hold the first lien position. This first claim on the asset adds an extra layer of security to the investment.

It’s important to note that while trust deed investing can be a viable strategy during times of inflation, it’s not without risk. As with any investment, potential investors should conduct thorough due diligence and consider seeking advice from financial professionals. At Coastal Capital, we offer not just stellar returns, but also unparalleled peace of mind with an impeccable record of zero loss since inception.

Factors To Consider Before Investing in Rehab Property

Investing in rehab properties can be lucrative, but it’s also a complex endeavor that requires careful consideration. Here are some key factors to consider before you invest:

1. Cost of Renovations:

You need to have a clear understanding of the scope and cost of the renovations needed. This should include not only the obvious fixes but also potential hidden problems that can arise once you start the work. Hiring a professional to do a pre-purchase inspection can help you get a better sense of what you’re in for.

2. After Repair Value (ARV):

This is the estimated value of the property after all the renovations are complete. Understanding the ARV is critical to figuring out whether the investment will be profitable. Consult with a real estate professional or use comparable sales in the area to estimate this value.

3. Financing:

Traditional lenders often don’t finance properties in poor condition, so you may need to secure alternative financing, such as a hard money loan or private investment. Consider the terms of these loans carefully, as they often carry higher interest rates.

4. Timeframe:

Renovations can take time, and delays are common. Consider whether you’re able to handle a potentially lengthy project and how carrying costs during the rehab period will affect your bottom line.

5. Local Market Conditions:

The state of the local real estate market can greatly affect the profitability of a rehab investment. Look at factors like the area’s home sales and whether property values are rising or falling.

6. Skill and Experience:

The state of the local real estate market can greatly affect the profitability of a rehab investment. Look at factors like the area’s home sales and whether property values are rising or falling.

7. Potential for Return on Investment:

After factoring in the purchase price, cost of renovations, carrying costs, and any loan interest, will you be able to sell or rent the property at a price that delivers a good return on investment?

8. Legal and Environmental Considerations:

Be aware of any zoning laws or building codes that could affect your renovation plans. Additionally, older properties might have environmental issues, such as lead or asbestos, that need to be addressed.

Rehab properties can be a great investment, but they’re not for everyone. Do your due diligence, and consider seeking advice from professionals before diving in.

May Latest Updates & Insights

COASTAL CAPITAL INSIGHTS

MARKET UPDATE

Low, low inventory levels of single-family residency & multi-family homes continues into this Spring selling season (which is historically the busiest time of the year) for real estate agents. As of May 6, the inventory of single-family homes for sale statewide was at 26,627 homes, slightly below where it was exactly a year ago (26,994 homes) and well below early May 2019 inventory levels, which came in at over 60,000 homes, according to data from Altos Research. We are seeing this trend across markets south of the Bay area and at all price levels. Entry level homes less than $750,000 are being snatched up quickly if priced within reason. In the Bay area the social issues of homelessness, crime and exodus of tech workers has hit the area hard and inventory is flowing as people leave to greener pastures of California (Coastal Capital has pulled back significantly from the area in 2022 with only one trust deed in the area.)

“It is very different from what we saw in the fall,” Ryan Lundquist, a Sacramento County-based residential real estate appraiser and market analyst, said. “It is like the market went from an ice bath to a blood bath — it is very competitive, and buyers are feeling frustrated at the lack of options.”

And it appears that the low inventory situation won’t be ending any time soon, as the number of new listings coming to market is also well below where it was last year. During the week ending May 6, 4,942 new listings of single-family homes came to market in California. A year ago, 7,684 new listings came on the market during the same week, and in 2019, 8,188 new listings were added, according to Altos. We predict the current Seller’s Market will continue for the near- and mid-term.

The theme of high rents throughout California continues. While the rental rates are no longer sky rocketing, they are holding steady and creeping up. The ROI for landlords continues to drive the demand for multi-unit buildings. Young Californians won’t be surprised to hear that homeownership rates are declining in their age group. Now a new study from Terner Center for Housing Innovation from UC Berkley finds that on average, it takes longer to become a homeowner in California than in any other state.

The point when half of Californians at any given age become homeowners is 49, according to the study. That exceeds other expensive states like New York (46), and it’s much higher than many of the states Californians have been flocking to, such as Texas (37) and Arizona (35). The study finds that in 1980, almost two-thirds of Californians aged 35 to 45 owned a home, but only 40% of residents in that age group owned a home in 2021.The same trend is happening among younger age groups. About 40% of Californians aged 25 to 35 owned a home in 1980, but only 16% in that age group own homes today.

Without new building starts or a massive migration exiting California we expect that landlords will continue to make up a majority of our application volume, especially in Southern California from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border. The light commercial and industrial markets continue to chug along as normal. Our applications desk has seen an uptick in deal flow in this segment. We feel this segment of the marketplace is normal except for office space which continues to struggle as workers fight their employers on returning to the office. This month we did fund our first commercial deal at an incredible LTV.

Small business owners are turning to private money lenders for their business-purpose loans in droves. Banks with all the recent failures are hoarding cash and the last person they want to loan it to is someone who is self employed without significant assets. The availability issues of conventional financing is really increasing demand for our trust deeds in this segment. Across all markets in California for private mortgages & trust deeds we are seeing elasticity in rates that borrowers are willing to accept ranging from 12% to 14%-plus.

Thank you for all our existing partners who have been referring over friends & family to join us. Just a reminder that initial investment amount requires $100,000; existing partners in the Fund can add on in any amount from $2,500 or more.

Just when we thought we had seen every possible scenario a new one came across our desk. A local real estate office in Modesto, California took over a church and paid cash for it to transform into their offices. They needed just a little bit of financing to finish the interior renovations but even with perfect credit they found it difficult to find a cooperative lender given the uniqueness of the property. While not a typical deal structure, Coastal Capital immediately understood the equity position and provided the broker with a quick solution!.
