Since 2007, Socotra Capital has funded more than 2,000 private money loans, totaling over $2 billion. 100% of our loans are funded via investments raised from individual high net worth investors, family offices, and other interested parties.
We currently manage more than $500 million in assets invested in alternative financing opportunities. But we’re still growing. Socotra Capital seeks to increase its capital base by bringing on new investors and family offices, which will allow us to continue to be a leader in this strategic lending arena, while mitigating concentration risk as we grow our loan portfolio.
Investors trust Socotra Capital thanks to our reputation as a direct lender with local roots and a national reach.
We are often referred to as “hard money” by those in the real estate industry. While some use the term dismissively, we embrace it. Being a successful hard money lender requires diligence, dedication, and a constant drive to find exciting opportunities in the market. More than ten years of tireless effort has made Socotra Capital the premier private hard money lender in much of the United States, with a reputation for consistent performance, reliable service, and fast delivery.
When professionals pursuing real estate opportunities are denied financing through conventional lenders, Socotra Capital is there to rescue endangered deals with the support that only hard money can provide.
There are many types of hard money loans. Examples include but are not limited to: bridge loans that provide the needed liquidity for transactions involving REOs and other distressed properties, buy-and-hold loans for investment properties, and cash-out refinances for business purposes. There’s no loan type or scenario that we haven’t handled.
Thanks to our long history, we have access to quality deal flows and strategic relationships with other lenders, mortgage brokers, real estate professionals, and other business professionals. This perfectly positions Socotra Capital to take advantage of the current credit conditions in the real estate market.
Socotra Capital uses simple underwriting principles. The borrower needs to have significant equity in the property, along with a clear path for exiting our loan. We look for a simple story, an explanation of what has occurred and how the borrower can make money with our loan. We then gather documents including tax returns, bank statements, credit reports, and third-party appraisals. It is important that the documents we receive match the story we have been told. Common investment opportunities include financing fix-and-flip residential projects, stabilizing commercial real estate property, providing funding for a fast close on an escrow, and cash-out business needs.
