Private Money is a commonly used term in banking and finance. It refers to lending money to a company or individual by a private individual or organization. While banks are traditional sources of financing for real estate, and other purposes, Private Money is offered by individuals or organizations and may have nontraditional qualifying guidelines. There are higher risks associated with private lending for both the lender and borrowers. There is traditionally less “red tape” and regulations.
We haven’t heard a lot about Private Money in the pandemic. I thought I would reach out to a couple investors I know to see how they were doing. It is fascinating what I found! Funding is actually readily available as a lot of investors think the stock market is a little bit frothy and can earn a solid return lending out money at 7-9%.
One thing that has changed in Private Money is rates have gone down. Typically, regardless of the conventional market, rates have been around 8.5-9% and sometimes higher!
Due to rates being so low in the conventional markets a lot of Private Money investors have a 7 in front of the rate now. I think we will be seeing a lot of odd properties with great opportunity coming on the market so I have a feeling this will be a growing segment of the business.
