Short to Close, no one to borrow from

By
Mortgage and Lending with Advisors Mortgage Group, L.L.C. NMLS 56123

This is thinking way outside the box, but if you have a short to close loan, the buyer needs 10 to 20K to close and just can't get the money.  Have them try www.prosper.com this is peer to peer lending, they need a 620 fico and have to put their story on there, but it works, Jane from San Diego might lend them $500, and Tom from Buffalo could lend $1,000 to get up to their goal.  They need to put a sincere story about their situation and what they need the money for and post it to see what happens.

You can get up to 25K with Prosper.com

Thanks, yea it doesn't fix most situations, but can work. 

The borrower could actually use these funds to purchase as long as their income holds the new payment for this small personal loan.

There is a legitimate work around for the unsourceable large deposits that we run into all too often in the NYC area....but too technical, if you run into that killing your deal call me we close alot of broken purchases within 2 weeks of getting involved.
