Private Money Lender
Would you lend money to someone facing immediate bankruptcy? How about someone in foreclosure? Or perhaps someone was looking to purchase a run-down commercial building whose value can’t be accurately determined by a standard appraisal.
For hard money lenders, this is what they do. This is what they look for and usually see opportunity where others see only doom and gloom. Deep pocketed individuals, hedge funds, and small, local companies operate where your typical bank lenders fear to go; often times giving loans to distressed properties or individuals, or both.
Hard money lenders are a bit harder to find than your neighborhood bank, but they can be found. Just look on your favorite search engine for “direct money lenders.” Asking a mortgage company or someone who has dealt with hard money lenders before may be another option.
Make no mistake about it, a commercial bridge loan financing doesn’t come without high cost, but they can help make a bad situation better and may be your only choice to save your property from foreclosure or prevent you from filing bankruptcy.
A hard money lender is a person or company with low credit restrictions, but exchange the risk with high interest rates – 8 to 25 percent, at least: the higher the risk, the higher the rate. In addition to high interest, you can expect to pay an additional 2 to 10 closing points. Direct Money Lenders rarely charges these high fees. Typically, loans with this credit risk are capped between 60 to 75 percent of the value of your property.
Hard money lenders are private lenders who either lend you their own money or get it from private equity groups, hedge funds, mortgage pools, or deep pocketed individuals. Common sense underwriting techniques are present and, naturally, higher risk means higher rates for you. Bridge loan financing lenders are not for everyone, however, if you are able to outrun the clock on high interest and you have a believable exit strategy, this loan may be the best option for you.
