Beat Real Estate Investing Competition With Private Money
Private money lenders, also known as hard money lenders, are individuals who have extra money and are willing to help investors close deals. They lend this money even to those who do not have a good credit score. Of course, you have to pay them interest, just like when you borrow money from banks. However, you have to pay higher interest rates when you borrow hard money. Lenders in this business usually fund loans that banks find too risky to finance. That is why they are more exposed to losses and defaults. The interest rate is their defense mechanism. It is their way of keeping the business alive. You won’t have to worry though as this is just a small price you have to pay for the benefits you will get using this kind of financing. Private money is what you need if you want to beat you competitors. As purchasing properties to rehab is somewhat a race, you’ll get a “nitro pack” when you tap hard money lenders. If you access credit from banks, you will have to wait for at least 30 days. Traditional lenders like banks usually take at least a month to process loan applications. You just cannot afford to wait that long when you are racing against competitors. The best thing about private money, however, is it allows you to close deals without you spending any personal money. That means you’ll be able to earn cash using other people’s money. Let’s take the case of a rehabbing project. For example, you found a distressed property for sale at $50,000. With repairs worth $15,000, that property’s value can rise to $100,000. The $100,000 is called the ARV, or after repair value. Private money lenders usually release between 60% and 70% of the ARV. If the lender agreed to give you 65% of the ARV, then you will get $65,000. In this sample computation, you will be able to buy a property and rehab it using only the money from the loan.
