Funding Available for Base Metal Mining Projects - iron, zinc, copper, sulfides and oxides

If your mining project has iron, zinc, copper, lead ...with PROVEN RESERVES (not estimated, inferred, or probable) ... we have funding sources. Yes, we can do precious metals, too...but it must be a VERY strong project (proven reserves, experienced management, strong business plan, and "make-sense" numbers).

Please send geologicals showing proven reserves to mines@walkercf.com along with with your contact information and we will contact you within 48 hours. Projects without proven reserves are not eligible.

Back From The Dead!!! ...come in off the ledge...money is flowing again

Money is Here and Available!

You may have noticed my absence from blogging recently, but the reality is that there was really nothing to blog about. Hence, NO BS.

Essentially, NOTHING (with the exception of hard money and multifamily transactions) was being funded...anywhere. I'm not good at telling people what they want to hear and I have fielded countless calls on projects that I have declined only because I knew the probability of them being funded was as likely as money falling from the sky and landing in their pocket.

New money is REAL and available. NO BS!

Please send us your transactions that are:
-80% LTV or lower - We LOVE HARD MONEY with validated exit strategies
-Income producing or a realistic and valid exit strategy or realistic
- Shovel Ready if construction
- You have contracts (take-or-pay) to purchase your product
- We like: mulitfamily, assisted living, income producing, low ltv hospitality
***Please do not send purchase transactions with less than 20% cash into the transaction, land deals, mining purchases, ANY financial instrument transaction (BG, SBLC, Letters of Credit, MTN, CDO...)

Thanks..and let the good times roll!

Attn Brokers: We have new alliances in bridge and hard money lending...

Hey Folks,

I have made new alliances in hard money....  Here is what is HOT – AND FUNDING:

-LTV’s less than 60% - 

-Loan Amounts under $1.5M USD – the bigger deals take a bit longer to close – bring them on if they are low LTV.

-Make sense deals on bank negotiated buy outs.. still looking for low LTVs

-Profile of borrowers are: free and clear properties with good credit (those are closing- and more deals out there than you know)

-Multifamily, Office, Retail, Mixed Use, Warehouse, Office Condos, Light Industrial, Rural Commercial, Commercial Rehabs if they make sense, Trophy homes if owned by a corporation.

What is NOT:

-LTV’s more than 60% - and 60 is pushing it…

-Anything related to project finance – no projects, existing commercial collateral only

-Energy deals – I haven’t seen one of these fund unless they have a take-or-pay contract from a bbb rated company or better

-SBLCs, BGs, Gov’t Bonds, Platforms, ANYTHING that wants your clients money so they can generate money. Please, have you personally seen one of these fund?

-Special Purpose properties

-Land

-Any transaction where there is less than 25% equity or 25% cash infusion. Sorry – this is the market speaking, not me.

  

I have verified either through personal experience or their providing addresses of closed deals, deals closed in their name, that the funders we have are performing. We never charge any upfront fees, but your client should be prepared to pay for an appraisal and/or a site visit.

To request a submission package please email brian@walkercf.com

I Want To Believe! What is Real? Can Any Platform or Trade Proof Up?

We have have so many different funding models cross our desk here at WCF...but had little success in having anyone actually prove that they perform or give references. Really, we want to believe! 

When we ask for references or referrals we get answers like, "The platform doesn't need your client's business, so they'll just pass if they have to prove success or credentials." What kind of business model is that? Or, "At this level of banking, it's just not done, the money will be safe and protected in escrow."

Honestly, if no one can touch it in escrow, then how can it be of any use to the trader or platform? I would really like to know the answers to these questions. Personally, I have not seen another broker fund ANYTHING involving platform trading or actually close on a Bank Guarantee or Standby Letter of Credit that goes into some sort of cash-generating program.

As a company, we have resolved to only work with funders that have cash on their books, and the only situation where we have engaged clients in the past have been proofed up by third parties... we know they are real. BUT, finding new ones is like stalking big foot.

I am reaching out to every reader of this blog to see if someone can come forward and prove and document that these types of fundings, in the present market, are real and do actually happen. Really, I want to believe, but cannot put a client blindly into a transaction that is unwilling to show any sort of success. Please feel free to call me with your success stories at 281-964-8037 or email me at brian@walkercf.com

Geological Reports Stating PROVEN RESERVES - Absolutely Necessary!

In order to fund any in-ground asset, we will require an independent geological report stating specifically what the asset has in PROVEN RESERVES. In short, a geologist must send samplings to an independent lab for testing. Once the test results return, the geologist will interpret the data and provide a value, in US dollars, which indicates what reserves are PROVEN to be in your claim or lease.

Unfortunately, we cannot use reports that state INFERRED, PROBABLE or ESTIMATED reserves. The geologist must state what the PROVEN reserves are.

We'd be happy to review your reserve reports to determine if your project will qualify. And...as always, no upfront fees. Please contact Brian Walker at mines@walkercf.com or 281-964-8037 for more information.

Hard Money - Bridge Money - The Fastest Fundings.....

Everyone wants to close fast... we can do amazing things... and VERY QUICKLY when we have a full file. To expedite your closing, we need everything on our BRIDGE MONEY CHECK LIST and our LOAN SUBMISSION FORM completed as thoroughly as possible.

Funders that are most nimble are likely:
1. in the same geographic region as your property
2. going to require an exit strategy that does not involve the sale of the property
3. going to require some sort of cross-collateral to make sure you have an incentive to retire the debt
4. ask that you, at a minimum, pay for a site visit, possibly a "review appraisal"

The Best News I've Heard on Commercial Real Estate Since 2007

A Look at CMBS Numbers, Past, Present & Future

The numbers don't lie! CMBS (Commercial Mortgage Backed Securies) are what keep the money flowing for big commercial mortgages. We are seeing a return of the CMBS!!! That means money has already started to flow for income producing properties. To truly appreciate the LACK of capital since the collapse of Lehman 28 months ago, here are the numbers for CMBS loans:

2006 -$190B USD
2007- $270B USD
2008- $   18B USD
2009- $     9B USD
2010- $     7B USD

 Sobering numbers, eh? 2011 should see up to TEN TIMES the activity of the previous two years. Qualifying may be more difficult than in the past, but the good news is that the money is moving again. Until now, those extending loans in this asset class had to keep the loans on their books, which reduced their liquidity and ability to continue lending. The CMBS pools enable banks to keep their money moving and circulating, which ultimately means more properties can be financed and refinanced. If you have an income-producing property and are looking for dynamite terms, please call Walker Commercial Funding at 281-764-1605 or email Brian at brian@walkercf.com

Joker Brokers and The Upfront Fee Scam - Busted by Escrow Instruction Due Diligence

What a weasel! We were dealing with a joker broker that said he represented a well known, wealthy individual. There were red flags from the beginning, but I'll share with you how we immediately knew this was fraud:
We received the escrow instructions and found three companies we had never heard of. We found that all three were either illegitimately doing business or were not real businesses at all. A simple search at the secretary of state in the respective states showed that they were not registered. Additionally, the physical address were either COMPLETELY fictitious or a mail drop. Would a $50M investor operate out of a mailbox? Not be registered in the state where the SBLC was located? C'mon, Mr. joker broker!

When confronted, the joker broker said, "I can take care of that, I'll just take them out of the transaction."

Yeah, right. That makes it all better.

Moral to the story: be sure to do background checks on all companies that are on the contract and escrow instructions. Clearly this was set up so that after the transaction fails, and the money in escrow is gone ...the poor client wouldn't even have a door to knock on. Yup. Shell companies playing the classic shell game. It's awful that weasels and joker brokers like this exist...but they do. Caveat Emptor!
