As the stock market tumbles and a most mortgage lenders go out of business how does the average guy manage to continue to invest in real estate. We certain will not be able to get traditional mortgages from banks or lenders as they now require 800+ credit scores, personal guarantees and down payment collateral equal to or greater than 40% of the purchase price. hard money lenders are so scared they will not lend to their own mothers - that is, the few that are still in business. So what do real estate investor do now! Private real estate money is the answer. So what is private real estate money and how do i get it to purchase real estate investments. Private real estate money is simply borrowing money directly from private individuals rather than a bank or other commercial lender. Private lenders tend to be ordinary people such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, business owners and possible retired people. Most private lenders are simply looking for better investment returns than they can typically get from bank CD's, money markets or even bond investments. Over the past couple years these type investments have yielded a paltry 3% to 6% pretax rates. We can pay private real estate money lenders 9% to 15% on their money.
