Do You Understand How Private Money Loans Work?

 

 

Most people have never gotten a private money, non-bank loan before. It is quite different from the experience of getting a bank loan. But how does it differ? Here a few ways:

1.      Speed: Private money loans can close faster than a bank loan.

2.      Requirements: There are not as many requirements for a private money loan as there are for a bank loan. In most cases, a private money loan is based on the asset itself that is being used for collateral for the loan. Most private money lenders don’t care if you’ve had a foreclosure or a bankruptcy on your credit.

3.      Cost: Because a private money loan doesn’t have all of the requirements of a bank loan, it is higher in cost. You can expect to pay between 7% interest to as high as 18% interest for a private money loan.
