Franchisees have more options for financing houses By Howard Garfield
HVA is pleased to announce that the Finance Department has successfully increased its warehouse line of credit with Textron from $50 million to $75 million, with the option to extend the line to $100 million. This increased facility provides HVA a greater capacity to meet our franchisees' acquisition needs.
In addition to the increase, for the first time, the facility also allows HomeVestors to lend directly to investors who are buying homes from HVA franchisees.
The Finance Department is now working on an expanded Wealth Builder and Franchise Owner Note program with Texas Capital. We are looking to increase this credit facility from $2 million to $5 million, and decrease the interest rate. Once we accomplish this, it will provide additional funds to expand our Wealth Builder loan volume. It will also allow the owner-financed note program to be implemented system wide.
