Does anyone have a program that will do a 50% LTV on land? If not what is the normal LTV you can get on land right now.

60 to 65 % LTV is reasonable. Local lenders who know the land are lending; usually with Restrictive Covenants prohibiting Timber Cutting; seeing as the Timber is often worth as much as the underlying land. I don't think there are any national programs for land loans.

not sure but you might check with the RBC, they are one of the only lenders chartered in U.S. that haven't taken a bailout from govt and have to adhere to strict guidelines and regulations.

not sure if you will find a 50LTV on land.

depending on use, a buyer might be able to take advantage of some type of govt sponsored program.

Example. expanding farming business

How can this help my business?
Individual farmers can receive up to 80% financing to a maximum of $250,000 for financing new or used assets
A farmer-owned co-operative can apply for up to $3 million
Eligible assets include land, buildings, construction, machinery, livestock, consolidation/refinancing, and crop storage condominiums
Maximum interest rate on variable rate loans is Prime+1%, fixed rate loans is Residential Mortgage Rate+1%
Loan terms are up to 10 years (15 years for land) and flexible payments available (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually)
What else do I need to know?
Eligibility requirements include:
You must be performing a farming activity on a full or part time basis
This loan is not for start up operations
Loan amount can not exceed 80% of the cost of the assets (Trade-ins can be used for the 20% down payment)
There is a one-time, up-front government registration fee of 0.85% of the loan amount
There is an RBC administration fee of the lesser of 0.25% of the FIMCLA loan amount or $250. (0.1% for farmer-owned marketing co-operatives if loan exceeds $250,000)

Well, when we first went under contract the lender said they would do 50% LTV. Two weeks into the contract the lender said that the policy has been changed to 25% LTV. Today we get a call and now they are no longer lending on land. This all happened in about a 30 day period. How quick our market changes. We are now talking to a local lender to see what they can do. Wish me luck!

Hello all. I am a Hard Money Broker, and I do land. Up to 50%LTV. Don't let anyone tell you this program is not out there. If loan amount is uner 3mm then, NO UP FRONT OR DUE DILIGENCE FEES EVER.
Feel free to email me dtouchette@cox.net and I will be happy to fill you in on the program and quote you or your specific scenario.

Thank you

Dennis

Best of luck, Oli, but I'm just not seeing my investors closing land deals now at any LTV.
