How It Works

How private money and hard money lending work

Private money is asset-based, short-term financing funded by private capital rather than a bank. The property secures the loan and speed is the product you are buying.

1. Evaluate the asset

Value, condition and exit potential drive the decision far more than your tax returns.

2. Set the leverage

Typically 65–75% of value, and on rehab deals a percentage of purchase plus a rehab holdback.

3. Light documentation

Identity, title, insurance, a clear exit plan and proof of funds to close. No lengthy income packages.

4. Fast underwriting

Many deals fund in one to three weeks — the reason investors use private money at all.

5. Interest-only term

Interest-only payments for 6 to 24 months, sometimes with interest reserves built into the loan.

6. Execute the exit

Sell, refinance into a DSCR or conventional loan, or complete the project. The exit is underwritten on day one.

Your Options

What private money is used for

These are the situations where private capital consistently earns its higher cost.

Fix & flip
Purchase plus rehab funds with draws as work is completed.
Bridge financing
Close now, repay when your other property sells or permanent financing lands.
Auction & distressed purchases
Fast, certain funding on properties banks will not touch.
Cash-out on investment property
Pull equity quickly without a full income-documented refinance.
Land & unusual assets
Property types outside conventional guidelines.
Rescue financing
Save a deal when another lender fails days before closing.

Honest Advice

Using private money without getting hurt

Private money is a scalpel. Used correctly it is enormously profitable, and used carelessly it is expensive.

Good fit: clear, fast exit

You know exactly how the loan gets repaid and when. That is the entire test.

Good fit: speed creates the profit

When closing in ten days wins the deal, the rate difference is trivial against the spread.

Good fit: real equity in the deal

Meaningful skin in the game gets better terms and protects you if the market shifts.

Poor fit: long-term hold

Never hold private money as permanent financing. Refinance into DSCR or conventional.

Poor fit: optimistic rehab budgets

Underestimating the rehab is the most common way these deals go wrong. Build in contingency.

Poor fit: primary residence needs

Consumer-purpose loans on your home are rarely appropriate here. Use a conventional or non-QM program.

Questions

Private Money Loans FAQs

What is a private money loan?

A short-term, asset-based loan funded by private capital rather than banks. Approval is driven by the property’s value and your exit strategy, letting deals close in as little as 5-10 days.

When does a private money loan make sense?

Fix-and-flip projects, auction purchases, bridge situations between buying and selling, properties that won’t pass conventional appraisal condition standards, or any deal where speed wins the contract.

What are typical private money terms?

Terms usually run 6-24 months, interest-only, at 65-75% of value with rates higher than conventional financing — the tradeoff for speed and flexibility. We’ll map your exit into a refinance or sale.

Can I finance renovation costs too?

Yes — many fix-and-flip programs fund a percentage of purchase plus 100% of the rehab budget, released in draws as work completes.
