Tory Kelliher First Time Private Lending
22 December 2015 | 13 replies
Hi Tory,If you will be lending and securing the loan out of state, the law of the state where you are securing the loan would most likely apply, but I'm sure there are exceptions to this.I would think that you need to check for the laws in Massachusetts also.In California and in other states, but not all, you must be a licensed to secure loans with real estate, there are probably exceptions to this rule.If you secure loans with real estate in California with a licensed broker, the loan is exempt from usury laws, again, there are exceptions to this rule like lending less than 30k in senior position (or less than 20k in junior position) and there is something that attorneys talk about regarding charging an unconscionable rate but that would be getting way too detailed...Another important consideration is that if the proceeds of the loan are used for personal use or if the collateral will be owner occupied, then that triggers a bunch of other regulations, this is why most hard money lenders only lender for non owner occupy business purpose.
