who and what we are
The Niche Report delivers unique and insider coverage of the mortgage and finance industry that powers our country’s economy. Insight, innovation and information that you won’t find in the mainstream press. We tackle the issues others don’t understand, reporting on companies that lead the industry, trends before others see them, legislation that matters, and commentary that’s anything but common. The Niche Report has 20,000 subscribers nationwide and readership of 55,000 mortgage and finance professionals every month.
Reach youR TaRgeT maRkeT. Tap into our national circulation of loan originators located in high value real estate markets.
“WhaT makeS youR PuBLIcaTIoN uNIQue?” This is the best question ever asked!
· The concept of our magazine is “simplicity”. We don’t bore the reader with an over-abundance of content. This allows us to publish the best articles written by industry veterans. We are not a news-related medium. We tell stories through our editorials and articles educating, entertaining and informing our readers.
· Not only do we have highly regarded editorial/article content, we also have what we call “The Niche Reports”. This is basically a comprehensive lender directory that can be used in similar fashion as the Yellow Pages. This works for us (and our advertisers) in the fact that we can be used as a tool, therefore our “shelf-life” is longer than other trade publications. Readers will continue to reference TNR throughout the month looking for a lender to help fund their deals. No other industry trade magazine itemizes a complete database of residential and commercial wholesale lenders like TNR.
· Readers reference our comprehensive wholesale lender directory with multiple lending categories such as Commercial, Prime & FHA, Reverse Mortgages, Hard Money, Construction & Rehab, Non Prime & Alt-A.
· Superior quality. Pick up our magazine and compare it against ANY of the other trade magazines and you will quickly realize that our heavier stock paper (as well as larger size) has a feel and look that is in a league of its own. Again, not cheap to produce, and I assume that is why others go the more traveled road.
THE NICHE REPORT IS MAILED DIRECTLY TO APPROXIMATELY 20,000 (EFFECTIVE REACH OF OVER 55,000) RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL LOAN ORIgINATORS, CORRESPONDENT AND WHOLESALE LENDERS, LOAN OFFICERS AND MORTgAgE PROFESSIONALS EACH MONTH.

Understanding this
niche market.
BY CRAIG M. FLAHERTY
T he first thing I ever learned in business
was this: Niche marketing is powerful.
In fact, it’s the only way to go in
my opinion. Before entering the mortgage
industry, I worked as a top producing Account
Executive for a Fortune 500 company. I also
have an M.B.A. from one of the top business
schools in the world. From all my experience
and all my studies, one thing has always
rung true about business: Get a “Niche” and
go from there. When I first started in the
The Short-Refinance
by loren gingerich
A short-refi (short-refinance) has been around for quite a few years. Until its re-
cent exposure, it has been said to be one of the industry’s best kept secrets. It is not common knowledge that a lien holder will accept a short-payoff of the current loan, while allow-ing borrowers to keep their property and refinance with a new lender. But, that is exactly what can be accom-plished with some lien hold-ers and a properly negotiated short-refi offer. You will notice that I said some and not all lien holders. This is because the fi-nal decision to accept a short-refi offer is completely in the hands of the investor on that particular mortgage. This is also true with short-sales or loan modifications. There is absolutely no company out there that can guarantee a short-refi, short-sale or loan modification will be ac-cepted. That is one thing that the property owner should keep in mind and acknowledge upfront when hiring a third-party to perform any of these solutions. In getting short-refis completed, our company can say that we do have a 70% success

You hear the term all the time, but most people don’t know exactly what a “hard money”
loan is. The truth of the matter, is that a bit of time should be invested in understanding this unique loan type since it is an effective tool in a broker’s arsenal of possible commer-
cial lending types. Brokers that have a strong relation-ship with a hard money lender simply make themselves available to assist their clients and earn a fee that they ordinarily would not.
But what exactly is a hard money loan? Let’s look at the attributes of this loan, review some examples of how and why it’s used and further explore how lenders make these unique loans happen.
Why hard Money?A hard money loan is most easily recognized by its
distinguishing characteristics including a low loan to value, high rates and high fees. But it is best known for its ability to close quickly; often times hard money loans can move from start to close in 30 short days.
So, why would someone need to close a loan in 30 days? It turns out there are many reasons that a quick turn around might be necessary. For instance, consider a woman who is aware of a piece of available property that is near the site of a soon-to-be-built shopping center. The land owner will sell the property at a lower cost, but only if the deal can close in the next 30 days. If the borrower were to go the traditional borrowing route,
closing would take 60 to 90 days meaning she would lose the opportunity to secure the land at the reduced rate. By securing a hard money loan, the borrower will pay higher rates and fees, but can close quickly knowing that she will earn a significant return in a year when the shopping center’s construction is complete and the land’s value has increased.
Despite the high fees and rates, a hard money loan might be the only choice to help borrowers out of a sticky spot. For example, consider the individual who’s lender is about to foreclose on his property unless he can repay a certain amount within a short time period. The property is worth $10 million and the borrower owes $1 million against it. If the property is foreclosed upon, all of the property’s equity will be lost. Although a hard money loan carries high fees and rates, it enables the borrower to meet the aggressive repayment timeframe and save the equity in the property.
hoW hard Money WorksA lender that specializes in hard money loans is
equipped to handle the expedited closings of 30 days or less, which makes them unique in the lending space. These firms do so by preparing themselves with all of the necessary underwriting resources (attorneys, appraisers, etc.) to review and approve a loan very quickly.
Hard money lenders employ a lower loan to value ratio than a traditional lender might. For instance, a commercial loan to value might range from 70 to 95 percent. A hard money lender, however, will lend at no more than 50 percent loan to value, which allows the firm to recover its investment should the need arise.
