Hard Money Lending Basics

What Is A Private Money Loan?

A private money loan involves borrowing from an individual or business lending their own saved capital or borrowed funds. Unlike banks that lend depositors' money, private lenders are just people like you who set their own loan terms and requirements.

Private lenders commonly overlook credit scores, back taxes, and bankruptcies that would disqualify conventional borrowers. Loans are typically secured by valuable assets, most commonly real estate through a lien arrangement.

Benefits include flexible qualification standards, faster approval processes, and customized loan terms.

Borrowers should work with trustworthy lenders and check references or reviews before borrowing.
