A) Cash Flow Advances can close quick! On average, quotes takes 24-48 hours once we have a Trailing 12-Mo P&L, broken down monthly, and that includes debt service. Once your quote is delivered and you accept, final underwriting and funding takes an average of 14 days. Much larger loan requests or complicated income and expenses can take longer to review, but it will depend greatly on you as the borrower to provide detailed, clear, and organized documentation.
First step is an application, and uploading the P&L (can be uploaded in the application itself, or emailed to info@macofinancial.com)
A) Yes. This is a very common use of funds! There are absolutely no restrictions on the use of proceeds from the Cash Flow Advance program, so you can utilize these funds for anything. There are a few avenues to make this work:
1. You can either obtain an advance against another properties Net Cashflow from your existing REO / Portfolio.
2. On purchase transactions, the new subject property, if net cash flow positive, may be underwritten for the advance.
**Important: For scenario #2, the seller must be willing to assist in providing you with the required financials required for underwriting (12-Mo Trailing P&L and 12-Mos Bank Statements at minimum), in order to also utilize the NEW Properties projected cashflow to support a new Cash Flow Advance. We would need to review the historical expenses, and then also understand the new debt/mortgage terms for your senior financing on the property to calculate projected net monthly cashflow.
Additionally, the cash flow advance can be structured as either as a simple advance with a UCC-1 Filing against your borrowing entity - OR - as a LP in your borrowing entity with no voting rights, in which case no UCC-1 Filing would occur. The latter option makes us appear as an equity partner to your new mortgage provider on your real estate transaction, and therefore is not a loan for down payment and closing costs (which many lenders do not allow). A proof of funds letter may be available to provide to your senior lender once 100% of underwriting has been completed for the Cash Flow Advance.
A) We do a soft credit pull upon application; however, we do NOT do a hard credit pull and the inquire will not be reflected on your credit report (leaving your credit unaffected). There are no minimum credit score requirements for this program however, and the soft credit pull is to obtain a general grasp of your repayment history as a borrower.
A) No. Our Cash Flow Advances do not report to personal, or business credit, so your credit score and DTI remain fully intact and unaffected.
The only collateral for these loans are a pledge against your future Cashflow for the subject property, and either a UCC-1 filing against your entity (LLC, Corp etc) OR an LP-interest in your entity (in which case, there is no UCC-1 filing).
