@Mathew Davis what works for one, won't work for all:(In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

This can be especially helpful if you need to close on a property quickly.Less stringent credit requirements: Private money lenders may be more willing to lend to borrowers who have less-than-perfect credit or who are unable to qualify for traditional financing.More flexible terms: Private money lenders may be more open to negotiating terms that are more favorable to the borrower, such as flexible repayment schedules.Cons:Higher interest rates: Private money loans usually have higher interest rates than traditional loans, as the lender is taking on more risk.Short repayment terms: Private money loans often have shorter repayment periods, which can make them more difficult to pay off.Limited availability: Private money lenders are not as widely available as other types of lenders, so it may be more difficult to find a private money lender who is willing to work with you.Overall, private money lending can be a useful option for borrowers who need financing quickly or who are unable to qualify for traditional loans, but it is important to carefully consider the terms and costs before entering into a private money loan agreement.
