Learn the difference between private money and hard money so you can make an informed borrowing decision.
In prior blog posts I’ve discussed the real estate jargon that all investors should be familiar with so you can talk the talk and walk the walk. There are two more terms that though they may seem interchangeable, they aren’t exactly the same.
Private money and hard money are two different ways to borrow money and I’m going to outline the differences below.
Hard Money
When you meet a hard money lender, it’ll be clear that lending is their bread and butter. It’s their business! That means they are ready to see your proposal and make a quick decision based on its merit. There are qualifications you’ll have to meet, but they are far less strict than those imposed by traditional banks. That means you don’t have to have a fantastic credit score.
Hard money loans are funded just as quickly as the decision is made! You can begin your fix and flip venture in some cases in as short as a week. Don’t miss a good deal when it’s in front of you!
Private Money
Private money loans can come from anyone who has the money to lend. It can be a family member, a friend, or a company. It is a relationship-based lending scenario that can take time to develop because they aren’t a tried and true lender, they just have the means to do so if they so choose.
They may also ask for some stake in the real estate venture because they are taking on a personal risk. Private money loans can also take longer to fund, causing you to lose out on deals.
That’s why we recommend using an Arizona hard money lender for your real estate business, whether you’re fixing and flipping or need a short-term loan for your buy and hold property. Contact Level 4 Funding today to discuss your next venture!
