private lending: So You Need Money For Real Estate Investments - Here is How to Use Private Lenders For Money! - 03/07/10 01:48 PM
If you have tried to get a traditional mortgage, or even a hard money loan, to finance your real estate investments you know how hard it is to get loans in today's post-credit bubble market. It is even harder to get "no money down" loans for your real estate investing business. If you are using traditional mortgage or hard money loans they can take two or three months to close.

private lending: Why Private Lending is HOT! - 09/19/09 07:45 PM
We are all aware that real estate prices are down anywhere from 15% to 40% across the country.  In the past, you might have invested $15k to $30k to buy rental property that rented for $1,000 per month and netted the investor 10% to 15% on their investment.  Now you can buy that same property for dramatically less but the rent has remained the same, or even gone up slightly, over the last couple years.  So the return to the investor has gone up substantially and 30% to 50% returns on your investment are ordinary today The hard part right now … (2 comments)

private lending: Real Estate Investors - Learn How to Avoid Hard Money Lenders and Discover Private Money Sources - 07/22/09 08:56 PM
One of my coaching students recent asked me how to raise money for real estate deals since she was having NO luck raising money through hard money lenders. In fact, she had just paid some "guru" $25,000 to take a course and the whole course was about how to raise hard money.
Once she and many of the other students in the Guru's class start talking they discover that no one was having any luck raising money with money hard lenders. They quickly learn that most hard lender money are out of business. The few that remain have such high lending … (1 comments)

private lending: Private Money Lenders - Where to Find Them and Grow Your Real Estate Investing Business - 07/19/09 07:44 AM
To locate private money lenders people have employed many different successful techniques.
For instance I heard of a real estate investor that found their investor standing in line at a grocery store. It was a long line and he started up a conversation with an older gentleman standing behind him. The topic came around to real estate after the gentleman asked what the investor did for a living. As soon as the investor said he was a real estate investor the gentleman perked up and said how ironic because he was looking for an investment since the stock market had tanked. … (0 comments)

private lending: Real Estate Investing and Marketing: How to Use Two-Step Marketing to Attract Private Lenders - 05/10/09 08:52 AM
When it comes to your real estate investment business and attracting private lenders, two-step marketing is much more effective than one-step marketing because it reflects the needs of your potential clients and demonstrates concern for finding solutions to problems. One-step marketing is more self-directed and many of the marketing practices for this technique are focused on self concern instead of the needs of the client.
Two-step marketing allows your prospects to select themselves as your client. Two-step marketing is based on giving information away for free with the hope of getting something back in return.Steps to Using Two-Step Marketing

If you are a real estate investor, or if you want to get started in real estate investing, having a steady source of mortgage money is absolutely essential to your real estate investing business.   In fact, having a good source of mortgage money will give you such an advantage in the post-credit bubble market that you can get better deals than your competitors can get by making better offers.  Imagine getting a 5% to 10% lower price simple because you can offer an “all cash” offer versus your competitors having to ask for a “financing contingency” in their offer.

One of the most difficult issues for real estate investor who start their own private lending program is who to ask to be investors.  This can be very imitating in the beginning, but like so many other things once you start it is not as bad as it may first appear.  
Finding private money is not nearly as difficult as people think.  We recommend a number of low-key person to person marketing techniques but without a question the best marketing method is simply talking to a lot of people you may already know in your own community.

Wow, has the real estate market changed in 2008!  Real estate investors have been shut out of traditional mortgage money unless you have a 9000 credit score and a 50 year work history without missing one day of work (ok enough of the weak humor but you get the idea).   Even hard money loans are HARD to get as they have all gone out business. 
But just as the mortgage market is shunning the real estate investor - we are starting to see signs that the real estate marketing is starting to bottom and home prices have even gone up in … (0 comments)

If you are a real estate investor in the post-credit bubble market and need money to finance your investments there NOT many options left.  Traditional mortgage lending is not available to real estate investors.   And even hard money loans are few and far between as they now require large down payments and high credit scores.  Both mortgage lending and hard money require personal guarantees - not very attractive in this market. 
The one remaining option for real estate investors is borrowing money from private lenders.  The definition of a private lender is an individual that you can negotiate directly with on … (0 comments)
