I  have read the information  in the below mentioned website about
hard equity  loan:

http://www.trust-usa.com/programs/hardlines.html

so therefore I want to know that hard equity lenders can provide  hard
equity loan for below mentioned property purchasing costs:

"Various fees and expenses payable  at the time of a real estate
closing, (also termed transaction costs). Includes brokerage
commissions, lender fees, title insurance, recording fees, prepayment
penalty, inspection and appraisal fees, and attorney fees" and any
other costs  related with the purchase of real estate property for
mortgage loan ??

Howdy Shoaib,

Equity loans are not the same as equity investments, which is what you are
usually asking about.

From the Trust USA Mortgage Company web page you cite.
http://www.trust-usa.com/programs/hardlines.html

"The main factor in this type of loan is the equity in the collateral and the
position of the mortgage (first, second or third mortgage.)."

An equity loan is a loan of money based on property wherein you already own
some amount of (partial or full ownership) equity.

This Mortgage-Investments.com page entry by Matthew D. Weidner, Attorney At
Law, might describe it better.
http://www.mortgage-investments.com/Real_Estate_Professionals/lenders.htm

"What are 'hard equity', 'hard money' or 'private' mortgages?

These terms refer to non-institutional residential and commercial mortgages
which are often funded by private parties or specialist companies. The
mortgages are secured by the equity held in the property against which the
mortgage is recorded."

So, if there is a piece of property that you held equity in, then yes, if
you could get a hard equity loan on that property, you could then in turn
use that money for the purposes you describe.

But, if you don't own the property yet, that is, you are trying to acquire
(buy) that property, then you would not have any equity (ownership) in that
property yet, and would not qualify for a hard equity loan.

Denco   researcher thanks for your answer   and your answer   deserves
  *****  rating. But   Denco researcher  you have indicated  above 
that borrower  cannot  get  hard equity  loan  for  commercial 
investment  unless    borrower  does  have  some  equity  in the 
property,   Denco    please note that First capital solutions
organization or www.1stcapitalsolutions.com    provides  "100% 
loan-to-value  real estate mortgage loan  and 100% equity loan  or
hard equity loan"  to pay for "property closing costs, lender
commitment fees, processing fees, and to pay for application fees"  
and  borrower has to pay "nothing" so as to  obtain property mortgage
loan because this organization provides loans only to those borrowers
whose loans:

  "have been turned down for conventional funding... or  borrower  has
 run into difficulty in structuring a deal because your project falls
outside the "normal" development scenario... if you feel the window of
opportunity is closing and feel beaten by "the system" ...

So  therefore  please  "clarify"  this  statement  and  thanks  for 
your  help  from  Shoaib.

Denco  researcher you have indicated  above that borrower  cannot  get
 hard equity  loan  for  commercial investment  unless    borrower 
does  have  some  equity  in the property, Denco  please go to the
following website address:

http://www.kandh.net/page5.html

and then click on the link stating "100% equity loan is available" 
and on that webpage  it is written that  "The investor will finance up
to 100% of both hard and soft costs, associated with project
development and is willing to address financing soft costs prior to
final project approvals",  

Denco  you will  notice  above that  the  specialized  international 
investment  bank  will  provide 100%  equity  loan  or  hard  equity
loan  for  commercial  investment for property purchase  and  its  
specialized  equity  investor   is  also  willing  to address
financing  soft  costs  prior  to  final  project  approvals"  and
please note that  there  is no  indication in that  webpage that the 
borrower also should have 'some equity in the property' before
purchase  in  order to qualify for property mortgage loan ?? So
therefore  please  clarify this statement and thanks for your help
from Shoaib.  Denco researcher if required I will increase the price
of this question.

Howdy Shoaib,
 
Secondary and tertiary questions like this really should be posted as new
questions.  You should review the suggestions here:

http://answers.google.com/answers/help.html

When it comes to the First Capital Solutions web site, I can not find the
page on that site that states they have a "100% loan-to-value real estate
mortgage loan and 100% equity loan or hard equity loan" program.
http://www.1stcapitalsolutions.com/

If you could point the web page on the above site that has that information,
that would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

As for the Kilpatrick and Hart, Ltd., Inc. web page, please note the link is
"100% Equity and Debt Profile" and that the document you get when you click
the link is titled: "100% Equity and Debt Financing."
http://www.kandh.net/100%25%20Equity%20and%20Debt%20Financing-1.doc

Nowhere in the above document is the word "loan" mentioned, but rather it
appears to be outlining an equity investment program.  They do seem to
indicate they might handle "hard" costs (the money to purchase the property)
as well as the "soft" costs, such as closing costs, etc.  That said, please
note their main criteria: "The sponsor of the project?s main requirement is
to be able to show a record of successful development performance."

Their "Hard Money Profile" does not mention a 100% loan product either.
http://www.kandh.net/Hard%20Money-Updated1.doc

"COLLATERAL: Real Estate and other fixed assets
LOAN TO VALUE: Up to 50% to 70% of 'Quick Sale Value'"

Denco researcher you are right that information  about  "100% 
loan-to-value  real estate mortgage loan  and 100% equity loan" is not
provided in that website  of First capital solutions
organization  but please note that few months before it was written in
their website that  our  funding  sources  will  provide  all 
"property closing costs, lender  commitment fees, processing fees, and
to pay for application fees"  and the borrower shall  "only"  have to
"absorb"  the cost of due diligence for his project by any outside
agency and please note that this information about due  diligence  is 
provided in its following webpage address:

 "the "Due Diligence" will be done by an outside agency and the cost
will usually be absorbed by the client"  in its  following  website
address:

  http://www.1stcapitalsolutions.com/1_due.htm

so therefore the above mentioned statement means First capital solutions
organization  can  arrange  "100% loan-to-value  real estate mortgage
loan  and 100% equity loan"  to pay  for "all" of  the above 
mentioned or  below  mentioned   property purchasing costs. To 
provide  "proof"  of above mentioned  statement  please  go to its 
following   glossary  webpage;

http://www.1stcapitalsolutions.com/1_glossary.htm

and in that webpage the following  information about  closing costs
has been provided:

Closing Costs 
Various fees and expenses payable by the seller and buyer at the time
of a real estate closing, (also termed transaction costs). Includes
brokerage commissions, lender fees, title insurance, recording fees,
prepayment penalty, inspection and appraisal fees, and attorney fees.

In the above mentioned statement please note that  lender fees
includes "lender  commitment fees, processing fees, and  application
fees"

 Denco researcher if possible then please provide response to that
statement. Thanks for that from Shoaib.

Howdy Shoaib,

It is hard for me to comment or draw conclusions from something that I can't
read myself.  I am not saying I am doubting you, but rather if the web site
no longer includes this information, it is hard to determine if they still
offer this product.

If a company has a product that provides for the total ("hard and "soft")
costs of the purchase of a piece of property, it does not always mean it
will be in the form of a "hard equity" loan.

But, yes, what you describe looks like a product that would provide, most
likely in the form of a "100% loan-to-value real estate mortgage loan,"
and not a "hard equity" loan, all of the costs, except the due diligence
fees, for a investment property acquisition.

Obviously, if the applicant does not "pass" due diligence, it would be
doubtful they would get financing.

Denco researcher you have indicated above that I might have drawn
conclusions please note that  I  have  not    drawn conclusions  
because that  First capital solutions organization  works or arranges
loans from  "non-conventional  international funding sources" and
please note that non-conventional  funding sources can provide  100%
loan-to-value real estate mortgage loan and 100%  specialized equity
loan  without personal guarantees but on the other hand  conventional 
or  asset  based  funding sources  can provide 100%   equity loan 
without personal  guarantees  as an exceptional  case  but please note
that  conventional  or  asset  based  funding sources  in that case 
can   provide  maximum  loan-to-value  loan of  70% or 80%  for
purchase of property  and   conventional  or  asset  based  funding
sources   "cannot"  provide  100%  loan-to-value property loan  in
that case. For confirmation of that information please  go to the
website of  Fidelity  global  group  or  www.fidelityglobalgroup.com  
and this  organization  is  international   conventional  or  asset 
based  funding source.  Denco  researcher  if possible then please
provide  clarification  of my above mentioned statement.  Regards from
Shoaib.

Howdy Shoaib,

I did not mean to indicate that I thought you had drawn any conclusions

I will take a look at a new question that you post.  For the type of
question it appears you have, I do not believe the fee that you usually
offer will suffice.  It looks like there could be at least tens of hours
needed to do the research required to answer it to your satisfaction.

for the answer of  website address of  'one'  of   any  leading  and

You should do a clarification on the question in question to note that you
need a quick answer, such as "in 24 hours" or "by Monday, February 21st" or
such.  You might also want to note that the question is open to anyone who

Howdy shoaib-ga ,

It's not that I don't like answering your questions.  I find the ones I
have answered to be interesting.  The main problem that I, and possibly
others have, is that you have many requests for answer clarification.

For instance, the original question here is for $2.00, and it probably
should have been priced higher as it took a certain amount of technical
interpretation to answer.

You then, as you often do, proceeded to ask several (five in this case)
clarification questions that even though they might have been somewhat
related to the original question, were indeed new questions.  To be fair
to researchers, each of those should have been posted as new questions.
Once answered though, as researchers try to do, some additional type of
compensation would have been welcome as well.

Sometimes, some researchers, such as myself, will generally not work on
complicated questions due to unpredictable schedules.  These researchers
like to work questions that can take a relatively short amount of time to
answer.  Other researchers like to work the higher priced questions that
take more time.

I doubt many researchers like to work a low priced question that takes
lots of time.
