What to expect from our Servicing Team

While many lenders outsource or use external servicing for their Bridge loans, Kiavi’s own in-house loan Servicing Team works to ensure that Kiavi customers receive a consistent, fast and easy experience even after their bridge loan closes.

3. Proactive loan management

Most Kiavi borrowers pay off their loans well before maturity and move on to their next project. You can request your payoff statement directly from your borrower portal. If your loan is approaching maturity, a Default Prevention Specialist will be assigned to assist you with loan exit strategies or requesting an extension.

In Arrears…payments on all bridge loans are collected in arrears, meaning the August payment would satisfy daily interest accrued throughout the month of July. 

Our Draws team can be reached by email at draws@kiavi.com or you can call at 415-202-6400 option 3.

Any phone messages left for the Draws team will be responded to within 24 hours, during the week. 

Yes.

If you have an IAD (Interest as Drawn) loan, Kiavi only begins charging interest for rehab funds when your draw amount(s) are taken. Any Construction Draw taken on your bridge loan will increase the Unpaid Principal Balance, which will increase your monthly mortgage payment the following month. 

No.

Our bridge loans are not escrowed for the payment of tax or insurance premiums, you would be responsible for payment of any of these coming due during the term of your loan. 

If you need to update Kiavi with new insurance information, you can simply email insurance@kiavi.com

No.

Unfortunately, our loan documents require your monthly payment to draft on the 1st of every month via ACH set up at the loan closing.

Simply email your request to servicing@kiavi.com for assistance. 

Your borrower portal also will show the current bank account being used for your monthly loan payments, and will provide further detail on documents required to update the bank account if needed.

First off, don’t panic…we’re here to work with you!

When a payment is missed, a Default Prevention Specialist will proactively reach out to you. Simply respond to that outreach or you may email us at servicing@kiavi.com if you just need to set up another payment attempt. 

Note: Kiavi has a 15 day grace period on missed payments. If the payment is not satisfied by the end of that period, a 5% late fee will be assessed. Furthermore, the loan will roll 30 days delinquent if the payment is still outstanding by the last business day of the month. Please note the grace period will end the business day prior if the 15th falls on the weekend and Kiavi can only accept payment via wire transfer the last week of the month. 

Two months out from your loan’s maturity date, one of our Default Prevention Specialists will reach out to assist you with exiting the loan and/or requesting an extension, if needed. 

Note: All extensions are subject to approval, and are typically offered for 3 months with a fee of 1% of the Unpaid Balance of the loan that must be paid via wire transfer within 5 business days of approval. 

Typically within 3-5 business days once all required items/information has been provided.

All extensions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, contingent upon factors such as project status, payment history, and how you intend on exiting the loan. Your assigned Default Prevention Specialist will detail specific items/information needed for consideration. 

Kiavi offers 3 month extensions for a 1% fee of the unpaid principal balance—due via wire transfer within 5 business days of approval to solidify the new maturity date. 

If you’re expecting the remaining renovations to exceed one 90 day term, we often recommend refinancing into a fresh bridge loan to provide sufficient time to rehab and exit. 

Note: Properties need to be confirmed 100% complete AND your exit strategy underway to be eligible for a second extension. 

Yes, Kiavi allows a 10 day grace period for matured loans. 

If your loan is not paid in full or extended by the last day of our grace period, default interest will begin to accrue per diem and is also applied retroactively to the 2nd of the month. Daily default interest accrues in addition to the regular interest amount, not instead of. If an extension is approved past our grace period, all accrued default interest will need to be paid with the extension fee. Please note if the 10th falls on the weekend of your loan’s maturity month, the grace period will end the business day prior. 

Kiavi loans must be paid in full or extended by the last business day of the maturity month to avoid delinquency. After our 10 day grace period, all accrued default interest will need to be paid with the final wire. If you are concerned about delays with closing, we recommend requesting our 3 month extension option—ideally prior to the end of our grace period to avoid default interest—to provide sufficient time to close and avoid the risk of delinquency.
