Post: Personal Loan Question

Hey Stephanie if it was a deal in which I owned the property I would use a secured loan on the property to be repaired. I was talking about a deal that didn't have the collateral attached to the loan.

Jessica, there are many reasons in real estate and investing in general that you could use $15,000 before the purchase of a property. This is all hypothetical. I have loaned money that didn't have a collateral attached to it so I just wanted a second opinion on security for it. When I said using it for repairs or purchase I was just using it as an example.

Thanks again

 Because I have a few different cash investors that I work with. Some property's are purchased from auction and then flipped back to an investor who uses a loan to fix up.

@Jonathan Wheeler.  I'm not a lawyer or CPA, the following is just from my experience.

If it's for repairs, or a house that you are going to buy with cash, you can just have a lawyer write up an unsecured loan agreement with whatever terms you agree to. That's very simple.

If it's for the purchase of a property that is going to be financed, that's a lot more complicated. My bank would not let me use money from an unsecured loan as part of a downpayment, but they would let me use money from a secured loan. Of course, that goes against your personal DTI and portfolio LTV, so you have to make sure you'll still qualify for the bank's loan when the private loan is factored in.

Hope that helps!

 Thanks so much Kevin. The unsecured loan agreement will work perfect.

Hello yall, 

What is the best way to make/format a loan if there is no physical property attached to it. For example, giving a loan of $15,000 toward the repairs or purchase of a potential property? What type of contract would you draw up for this scenario?

Do you have an example?

I think I worded that properly lol.

Hello! 

My name is Jon. I am a contractor/investor in DFW. Currently I am waiting on my first house to close. In the meantime I am looking for work. I can do a variety of things involved with remodel. I will work for $14 an hour or if you have an amount you want a job done for then just ask.

If interested just reply here or send me a message. Cant put phone number or email on here!

Thank you

What I would have to use as a lien verification analyst was Sitex and Netronline.com. Depending on what county you are looking for will depend if you have to purchase a subscription or not.

NETRO was much more reliable than sitex but requires more work.
