Why Private Money Loans Are the Key to Unlocking Multifamily Investments
When traditional banks fall short, private money loans step up to provide the flexibility and speed necessary to close time-sensitive deals. A recent $1,800,000 acquisition loan facilitated by Rubicon Mortgage Fund for a 26-unit multifamily property in Yuba City, California, exemplifies the critical role private money loans play in the commercial real estate market.
Â
The Challenge: Below-Market Rents and Bank Limitations
The borrower, an experienced real estate developer and attorney, specializes in operating multifamily units in the greater Sacramento area. Securing traditional bank financing wasn’t feasible for this property due to one key factor: the current rents were significantly below market—nearly 50% lower. Due to the current rents bank financing was not able to provide the adequate leverage needed for this transaction.
Â
The Solution: Rubicon’s Flexible and Streamlined Approach
Rubicon Mortgage Fund stepped in to provide an 18-month bridge loan, allowing the borrower to execute his business plan. The borrower’s strategy includes:
- Marking Rents to Market: As leases turn over, the borrower will implement minor renovations and adjust rents to market rates, significantly increasing the property’s income potential.
- Streamlined Closing: Rubicon’s ability to close the loan within 30 days highlights the speed and efficiency private money loans bring to the table, especially in competitive real estate markets.
A Trusted Referral and Strong Relationships
This deal was referred to by a reputable local mortgage banking firm, with whom Rubicon Mortgage Fund has completed numerous transactions. This long-standing partnership underscores Rubicon’s commitment to building and maintaining strong relationships with industry professionals. These trusted connections enable Rubicon to consistently deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each deal.

Why Private Money Loans Are Essential
Private money loans from lenders like Rubicon Mortgage Fund are uniquely positioned to help borrowers seize investment opportunities that traditional banks cannot accommodate. Here’s why:
- Flexibility: Private lenders can assess a property’s potential beyond its current cash flow, focusing on the borrower’s experience and the property’s future value.
- Speed: With a streamlined underwriting process, private lenders can close deals in a fraction of the time it takes traditional banks.
- Customized Solutions: Each loan is tailored to fit the borrower’s specific needs and business plan, ensuring a seamless execution of their investment strategy.
The Exit Strategy: Returning to Traditional Financing
Once the borrower’s business plan is implemented, the exit strategy is to refinance through traditional bank financing. By increasing the property’s income through market-rate rents and minor upgrades, the borrower will position the property to meet the underwriting standards of conventional lenders, ensuring a smooth transition.
