$6.66 Million Raw Land Loan from Kennedy Funding Closes in Only 10 Days

Loan Helps Texas Developer Purchase Another Property Just in Time

Hackensack, NJ, March 05, 2007 — John M. Golden was in a predicament. Through his company, Golden Pointe, LLC, he wanted to purchase an attractive piece of property, and he needed a loan with which to do it. There was also a time element involved, which meant he had to close the deal fairly quickly. He just wasn't quite sure how to go about it.

Then he had an idea. He already owned a waterfront tract of land on North Padre Island, in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was an enviable piece of property at the southern tip of the Corpus Christi Bay, just north of the Laguna Madre. Although the land was undeveloped, it had the potential of being turned into a commercial/retail project, or a mixed-use residential project, including a marina. What's more, since Golden purchased it in 2003, the land had appreciated considerably, and he wanted to use it as collateral to close on his new acquisition. But who would lend him money, secured by raw land, for him to purchase another piece of property?

When he met Kennedy Funding, he found out. Kennedy Funding is the industry's leading direct private lender, and they are also the premier raw land loan experts. Headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey, they excel in situational lending, bringing unprecedented speed and creativity to even the most troublesome loan challenges. Unlike conventional lending institutions, such as banks and credit unions, Kennedy looks at each loan and evaluates it on its own merits. If the loan is feasible, Kennedy is typically able to close in ten business days or less, and fund amounts up to $100 million and more.

Said Jeffrey Wolfer, Kennedy President and Co-CEO, "Other lenders might have had misgivings about accepting John's raw land as collateral, but we look on such loans with excitement, and are eager to make them work. And we liked the property immediately. It is prime beachfront land, the zoning is very favorable, and we knew the land would only continue to appreciate. So we were actually able to make him a loan of more than twice the amount he paid for the land when he originally bought it. And we made it happen within his time frame."

Kennedy Funding's streamlined evaluation process gives them the ability to issue loan commitments in as little as 24 hours, with closings in as few as five days, and usually in no more than two weeks. With a deep source of funds at their disposal, available loans range from $1 million to $100 million and greater when the need is there. Part of their uniqueness comes from a policy based upon flexibility, as witnessed by their willingness to accept raw land as collateral, and to fund developments in international locales as far-flung as Fiji.

While specializing in commercial real estate loans, Kennedy has funded such diverse enterprises as high-profile golf courses, amusement parks, TV and radio stations, airlines, and sports complexes, among others. Professionals including land-use developers, resort builders, entrepreneurs, and prominent businessmen have used the services of Kennedy Funding to great success. They can fund up to 75% loan-to-value for commercial land development, acquisitions, workouts, refinancing, bankruptcies, and foreclosures.
