One of our corporate members has established relationship with 22 hedge funds and family offices that range from US$300m to US$3bn in size, with three being in excess of US$15bn.Here's the funding criteria for property transactions:
  • 10-11% pa interest for a first mortgage
  • 15-18% pa interest for a second mortgage
  • Ability to fund investments/assets that are outside or more difficult for the major banks
  • All asset classes, including residential, industrial, mixed use, hotels and retail
  • $10m minimum lend, no real maximum amount
  • 2 year minimum terms up to around 5 years maximum
  • Slightly better LVR and LTC ratios than the major banks
  • Slightly more relaxed presale cover ratios than the major banks
  • To seek developers that they will have further opportunities to recycle funds
  • Australia wide but capital city preference
In addition, some of the funders will look at preferential equity or equity deals however the preference is for debt based transactions.On the non-property assets, the minimum investment size would be around $10m.
