We have all heard that there are real estate investors that make money by purchasing, or investing in real estate. These people will often buy a single family residence, a multi family residence, or a commercial property such as an office building or shopping center. Some of these investors make their money by acquiring the property at a low price and selling it at a higher price, commonly known as “flipping” the property. It takes time, effort, and a high amount of patience, but the rewards can be great. Other investors will hold onto their property and rent or lease the property for long term residual income. But, did you know that there are as many people out there making money from these same properties without actually completing any of the work? These money makers are referred to as private money lenders, many of which offer dedicated funding only for the real estate industry.
What is a Private Money Lender?
A private money lender that specializes in the real estate industry is an individual or company that provides the financing for real estate investors with private funding. Private money lenders are generally first lien and title holders to the property in which the funding is supplied. Many of these lenders are working business men and women who simply want to see a high return on their investment, while others are retirees who enjoy having a steady stream of income.
How Does Private Lending Work?
Private real estate lenders will finance residential properties only, commercial properties only, or a combination of the two. These private lenders offer risk adjusted loans, which bring in an interest rate of up to 12% depending on the length of the loan and the credit worthiness of the investor. This is a substantial increase in return than many of the other investment strategies available. Real estate investors will often prefer private lending over traditional bank financing due to the shorter closing turnarounds, and the available working capital.
How Does a Private Lender Find a Qualified Real Estate Investor?
Once you have decided to become a private money lender, the first step is to find qualified real estate investors. There are several ways to do this, including posting ads in your local paper or in the classifieds on the internet. The most effective method to locate qualified buyers is to utilize the services of a Private Real Estate Investment Banking Firm. These firms are an invaluable tool as they are able to qualify the real estate investors, and analyze the properties. They act as a mediator between the private lender and the real estate investor, and can ensure that your funding goes towards a legitimate cause. One of the best in the business is Austin’s own Noble Capital, Inc.
