The purchase of real estate is generally a safe and profitable form of investment. Read on to find out what financing idea can enable your real estate portfolio to grow – with properties from your existing portfolio serving as collateral.
Loans Based on Your Existing Portfolio
Purchasing real estate is considered to be a relatively safe long-term capital investment. When you are financing investment properties, traditional credit institutions usually grant between 60 and 75% debt capital (in the form of a mortgage). The difference from the purchase price needs to be contributed as equity capital. However, there is usually only limited free equity available for a planned acquisition or construction project.
In such cases, Property One would be happy to assist you with a mortgage of up to 80% of the sustainable market value of your property portfolio.
This allows you to cover the financing gap between the loan committed by the traditional source and 80% of the market value of the property.
Additional capital can be released if you already have an existing real estate portfolio. This capital and the subordinated loan can in turn enable you to purchase an additional property.
The subordinated loan is secured by mortgage certificates on the properties from the existing real estate portfolio. Experience has shown that the loan can be repaid through the rental income generated.
Acquisitions and construction projects for which only limited free equity is available can be guaranteed, planned and implemented by means of the subordinated loan – assuming that you have an existing real estate portfolio (investment property with rental income).
