How To Search Out Private Money Lenders for Real Estate Purchases And More.

This blog gives a very smart practice to follow when searching out a Private Money or Hard Money Lender.  Learning their track record is good way to know if you have a trustworthy and competent Lender or not.

Having dealt with real estate, conventional financing and private money loans (or hard money which it's also known as) for over 25 years I definitely recommend such a practice as is excerpted from the TRUST DEED CAPITAL BLOG:

Is Hard Money or Private Money Loans The Best Resource For Funding?

I haven’t always done just Hard Money loans.  After starting our real estate and mortgage company with my wife, we offered almost every single type of loan there was from 1978 through 2008.  And there were many types.

I am however currently just a Hard Money Lender. I do like to keep up-to-date on the other loan programs available.  Not just because it’s a regulation that I have to suggest other forms of loans if a Borrower comes to me who is qualified for another program, it’s always…

REALTOR’S VIEWPOINT – ON LENDING

As a real estate agent you need to know the products out there for the buyer.  I mean loan products.  Everyone and anyone could buy a home during the heyday!  Now it’s very limited.  There are really only a few loans:

#1 - The government regulated (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, FHA, VA)

#2 - The In-House loans (credit unions and local banks)

#3 - Lastly “Hard Money”.

The government regulated loans are regulated -  heavily.  The…

The Winning Bid

It looks like the various predictions that 2012 will be the best year in Real Estate since 2006, are coming true.                         

The statistics bear this out for sure, but a more telling phenomena is the dreaded bidding war.  That is a listing that receives multiple offers.  These happen with frequency in a market with not emough homes and too many eager Buyers.  It also happens on really desirable properties.  Of course this is great…

Is Private Money or Hard Money a Good Loan??

As a Hard Money Lender/Broker for Northern CA, I provide loans for Owner-Occupied properties which many Lenders/Brokers do not due to increased regulations, licensing, etc. I provide loans for condos, commercial properties, land, investments, etc.   

As a Hard Money or Private Money lender for the last 24 years I have been asked many, many times – “Is that a good loan?”   Initially I would do the analysis of the house payment compared to 30 year fixed rates and the costs divided by…
