TOP 10 REASONS FOR USING PRIVATE MONEY IN REAL ESTATE - 11/27/10 09:46 AM
TOP 10 REASONS FOR USING PRIVATE MONEY IN REAL ESTATE
I work mainly with investors who want great deals and want to invest the minimum in order to reserve their cash for more deals. So, I have been able to develop relationships with private individuals that will loan thier money out to other investors at a normal 18% short term bridge loan in order to get a better return on their money. The private lender is in first lien position on the property. It has been working out quite nicely in my business.
