Straight Purchase Loans

Quick Points

• We lend up to 80% of the total cost of most projects.
• Loans are normally amortized over a period not in excess of 25 years.
• Loans are secured by a first mortgage on your property.
• Copies of financial records and attendance history from the past 3 years are to be provided to Church Investors Fund at the time of application.
• Proven cash flow for the past three years is necessary to help us make an informed decision.
• The loan origination fee on new loans is 0.5% to 1.00%. This is charged at the time of loan initiation.
• Most payments are charged on a monthly basis, but other time intervals are also available.
• The first term of all loans is ten (10) years. This term is divided into two fixed five-year periods.
• Principal and interest payments are due only on the amount that has been advanced.
• Payments may be electronically transferred directly from the church’s bank account if desired.
• Funds on a purchase are normally advanced at the date of closing on the property.
• Loan payments generally should not add up to more than 30% of the church’s annual budget.
• The church needs to provide annual financial statements to Church Investors Fund each year that the loan is in existence.
• We are willing to waive the need for an appraisal on projects valued under $1,000,000 that are a normal loan to value ratio.
