Lender FAQ

Why should I use a private lender?

You might not be able to qualify for a loan from your local bank or lending institution for a wide range of reasons. You could be self-employed or simply don’t meet the banks typically conservative criteria and thus you’re left high and dry. This is where private lending comes into play. Private lenders take into account a property’s overall value and marketability as opposed to simply the borrower’s credit history. There are private individuals who are willing to lend their money to you in hopes of earning a return on their investment.

What situations work with private lenders?

• Purchase of a property that a conventional lender or bank will not finance
• You need immediate financing and cannot wait for a long approval process
• You simply need a short term loan
• Your credit history might not be ideal and thus you are always being turned down by conventional lenders
• Your income is possibly non-confirmable (i.e. self-employed individuals)

Who are the lenders?

Private lenders can be individuals, a group of investors who pool their money on a case-by-case basis or possibly a group of investors who pool funds to make available to several different deals.

You can likely expect mortgage interest rates of 10% and higher.
