Find Private Or Hard Money Lenders

The right private lender could further your real estate investment success. However, finding a private or hard money lender is more difficult than you would think. Allow us to make the journey less painful and guide you along the way. You’ll be glad you did!

What are Private or Hard Money Lenders?

Private lenders are generally experienced individuals, or groups of individuals willing to make private mortgage loans for higher interest rates. Finding the right private lender is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The reason you have to dig is because they often serve very specific niches such as non-owner occupied rehab loans, multi-family lending, or commercial lending.

These private lenders also tend to be smaller companies and work mainly on referral and word of mouth. The main reason PrivateLenders.com was created was to help you find a lender as well as educate you about the hard money lending industry as a whole.
