First time using private lending

Kyle Gatesy
Posted

I have my eye on a property with a single family home + carriage home for $360k and I am looking into private lending to avoid a 25% down payment for an investment property loan (that is what I have been offered by several lenders with a 780 FICO). I found two private lenders on FB and this is what they offered me: 

Lender 1) 100% LTV, 4% apr + 5 points

Lender 2) 100% LTV, 5% apr + 2 points

Both defer payments for 3 months and no prepayment penalty


My question is this a type of loan that is commonly used? I have listened to a lot of BP Podcast and I don't remember hearing about loans like this. I can't tell if I am nervous about landing my first deal or if there are true red flags with these lenders?

Let me know if you need any other info and thanks for your time!
