How to get Renovation Loans from Private Hard Money Lenders

Trust Deed Investing Information | News and Information

If you are seeking out a renovation loan from a private money lender, you probably know that untraditional loan lenders are quick alternatives to rejections by your local bank or credit union. Why is this though? And what do you need to be aware of before signing the terms of a loan agreement with an alternative hard money lender?

The first question to tackle is the difference between private and public money lenders. The short answer is requirements and regulations. A public lender like a bank is going to have strict policies, making hard for the average Joe to meet the requirements of loan acceptance, especially if there are imperfections in his financial history. Additionally, there will be questions about mortgages and the percent you must put down on the loan. When you meet with your local private money lender, the process will be a little different—and definitely less intimidating.

Private money lenders do ask that you prove yourself to be a reliable lender—but they don’t stop at your financial history. They also heavily consider your plans, your team, and the potential of the property. They will work with you on an individualized versus a generalized basis. The plans for your property are going to be just as important to them as your financial ability, giving you a greater chance of gaining loan approval.

What You Need to Know About Private Fix and Flip Loans

Private fix and flip loans can be very beneficial to borrowers because of the speed and flexibility they offer. However, there are a few other financial aspects to consider—and that is the literal cost of the loans. While private can usually get the ball rolling within the week—while banks usually take at least a month—there is a quick repayment period to these loans, and high interest rates. You need to be confident in your ability to repay the loan. If the typical repayment period of one year is too fast, investors have been known to extend the period longer—it just depends on who they are. Lastly, the interest rates on are steep—about five percent higher (or more) than others on the market. There are many attractive qualities of hard money, however, you have to determine if it’s what is best for you.
