Rehab Financial Group (RFG) is a private money lender that provides creative and accessible funding solutions to real estate investors in 26 states across the United States. RFG fully underwrites all of its loans and covers 100% of both purchase and renovations expenses for projects up to 70% of the projected After Repair Value (ARV). That translates into zero down payment for most of RFG’s loans—meaning you can scale your investment business with no out-of-pocket costs for purchase or rehab. RFG’s innovative lending strategy enables investors to conserve financial resources to account for unanticipated costs over the project life cycle. RFG is unique from the majority of private money or hard money lenders because it strives to streamline the acquisition timeline of distressed properties by providing 100% financing with zero money down.
Passionate Leadership Makes the Difference
“Just because you are a CEO, don’t think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization.”—Indra Nooyi, Pepsi CEO & Chairperson
Susan Naftulin, RFG’s president and co-founder, is largely responsible for instilling the client-focused corporate environment that RFG is renowned for—a characteristic that has built a devoted and loyal base of repeat customers who appreciate the experienced insight and knowledgeable staff. RFG focuses on clear and honest communication at all stages of the lending process, as Naftulin puts it: “We have one customer who has trusted us for over 150 transactions. We are just as much in the business of establishing and maintaining relationships as we are lending money.” RFG credits the quality of its service to its thorough and intuitive underwriting process. By taking a case-by-case, thorough analysis of each project proposal, the expert RFG lending team prides itself in facilitating creative, practical financing terms that mitigate the risk of default and assist real estate investors in accomplishing their professional goals.
Leveraging Creativity Delivers Results
“Creativity is one of the last remaining legal ways of gaining an unfair advantage over the competition.”—Ed McCabe, McCabe Communications CEO
What gives RFG a leg up on any competitor in the lending industry? The answer is deceivingly simple: 100% Financing. RFG is an industry leader when it comes to crafting unique lending products. Ever since its inception in 2009, RFG has consistently delivered competitive and sustainable funding solutions to scores of satisfied investors. Their signature service, the 100% Premier loan, offers clients 100% financing, up to 70% ARV on the purchase price and renovation expenses and has truly revolutionized the lending space over the past decade. By striking a unique harmony between responsible underwriting protocol with proven risk mitigation strategies seamlessly integrated into an all-round efficient process and an end-product carefully structured to optimize real estate investor liquidity, the 100% Premier is the best of both worlds: an aggressive bridge loan with favorable terms. To cap it all off, with no prepayment penalties, RFG clients never have to worry about being penalized for proactively paying off their loan prior to its maturity date.
RFG specializes in getting investors access to the capital they need when they need it. Their longstanding goal is for their lending process to never be accountable for holding up a transaction, and they consistently deliver on this promise. RFG is typically able to fund projects in 14 days or less—a fraction of the time it would take for a conventional lender to deliver project financing. In today’s increasingly competitive real estate investing marketplace, you simply cannot afford to not have the cash on hand to take advantage of great deals. By partnering with RFG, borrowers can confidently submit offers on promising investment projects knowing that they can quickly and efficiently facilitate the financial aspect of the transaction—a peace of mind that is worth its weight in gold when it comes to successful real estate investing.
