Private Real Estate Money – How to Finance Your Real Estate Investments in a Credit Crisis
As the stock market tumbles and a most mortgage lenders go out of business how do average guys 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%2B 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. Read more
How To Overcome Business Loan And Commercial Real Estate Loan Problems
One of the most difficult business loan scenarios occurs when a commercial borrower is rejected for either a commercial mortgage or commercial loan. There are five specific reasons that account for a healthy majority of business finance rejections. These common business financing application problems are particularly applicable to commercial real estate investment property financing.
Commercial borrowers are likely to be confused when their commercial loan application is turned down and will probably be unsure as to why it happened and what to do next. For each of the five major reasons that a bank might decline a commercial mortgage, a practical strategy is provided for converting the declined commercial real estate loan into an approved business loan.
Two reasons (tax returns and business plan requirements) could impact virtually all businesses. Many business loan officers will begin their business loan and commercial mortgage review process by stating “We will need to see at least three years of tax returns” and “Can you show me your business plan?” before proceeding.
Commercial projects are frequently too unique for traditional commercial banks. In these situations (even if a commercial borrower has favorable tax returns and an adequate business plan), it is not unusual for the business owner to be declined for a commercial mortgage loan by a traditional commercial lender.
The reasons described do not involve unusual issues. It is likely that two or more of the reasons will be applicable for many commercial loan situations.

How Millionaires Make Money From Real Estate
Intelligent use of real estate can enable ordinary people to become millionaires in about 10 years or less.
A lot of statisticians say that on average across the board, property has doubled on average every 7 to 10 years in the last 146 years in Australia, this has happened in many other countries also. This statistic depends on location, quality of property and the price you pay for it of course.
How you can use property to create wealth
For instance, Bill and Mary are earning $50,000 a year and they want to replace their income. I am going to suggest that just by buying two investment properties, they could achieve this. Let us look at how they can buy two investment properties for them to retire. $50,000 a year is approximately $35,000 per year after tax. So would you be committed to buying 2 properties in the next decade if you could retire from them?
In year 1 of the plan, we are going to buy one property. The properties I tend to buy are often around $300,000, which we will use for this strategy. The second year we do not buy any property and the third year we buy our second property. In ten years time, these properties could be worth $600,000. That is 10 years after you buy them. (Always make your plans conservative as it could take 10 years or longer.) I generally buy properties in capital cities because these properties will continue to grow.
If the property doubles in 10 years, this is $300,000 in extra money we have made over 10 years per property, i.e., $300,000 each, now worth $600,000. You have earned $300,000 from capital growth. Bill and Mary need $35,000 a year net to replace their current incomes. They are probably thinking if they buy the property, they have to work harder. If they buy and sell to make a profit, they generally have to pay capital gains tax. In this strategy, we are going to buy a good property and keep it ideally forever. It is worth $600,000. They need $35,000 net cash to replace their income. Where can they get that from?
What about a line of credit?
A line of credit allows us to draw equity/cash out of property by setting up a bank account from which to draw this down. They can draw out $35,000 in the first year, then do the same in year two and three. Read more
Hard Money Lending Success – It’s All About Relationships
For those who are new to real estate investing, it often seems as though there’s an “inner circle” of deal makers-the people who know where the deals are, how to get the money to buy them, and always get there first. It’s no accident that the same real estate investors work with the same hard money lenders and private lenders again and again. They’ve built a successful relationship based on helping each other to make money-and anyone can do this!
Seasoned pros who have built incredible wealth through investing in real estate know that their relationships with hard money lenders is key to finding the good deals before everyone else, and having a ready source of private money to borrow to purchase those properties. Here’s how even the biggest novice at real estate investing can forge relationships that lead to more and more successful real estate transactions:
Have lunch with your hard money lender. Once you have found a good, seasoned hard money lender, invite him or her to lunch once every few weeks. And you can do this with a few lenders. Get to know them personally, as well as their restaurant preferences, and always pick up the tab. Over lunch, you can discuss what deals they’re working on, what you’re looking for-and you might even pick up a deal!
Of course, it might take several months of these lunches to produce any deals. But you’ll get to know more about their business (their lending criteria and what kind of deals they work on most often) and they’ll get to know your business structure too (for example, whether you invest as an entity or an individual, and whether you prefer to “flip” investment properties for a quick profit or “rehab” them before selling).
Share the wealth with your hard money lender. Once you know your hard money lender(s) well, you can refer real estate investment deals to them that fit their criteria. They’ll appreciate it, and most likely, they’ll remember that they “owe you one.”
Make the hard money lender’s job a little easier. You can do this by submitting a professional, organized loan package with compelling information about why the investment is a good idea and what your plans are-and why the lender should make a loan to you with confidence. Anticipate questions that the hard money lender or private lenders might ask, and answer them in the loan package. Read more

You learn how to find investor partners and find private lenders and get your money sources in place AS YOU GO ALONG and BEFORE YOU NEED THEM.
How to Find Investor Partners and Private Lenders
Creative investing techniques aside, sometimes you need real cold cash to do a deal. And sometimes it can be very frustrating not to have it to hand. For that reason, available financing money tends to be the biggest challenge for many real estate investors, new and experienced both. If you can’t get the financing, sometimes there’s just no deal.
John Wooden once said “Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing what you CAN do”. Keep that in mind now as I lay out what you should do, if for example you do have little money or a poor credit situation. And if you don’t then you’ll still find more access to money than you might have ever though you needed (yet) when you apply these strategies. Read more
Unsecured Business Lines of Credit – Now it’s YOUR Turn to Ask the Questions!
Whether you’re at the planning stages, or more seasoned in your business, you may be intimidated at the process of obtaining working capital. Maybe your mind is boggled down with all types of questions about what “they”-the big bad financial institutions- may need to see from you, know about you, know about your business, etc. While you should know the eligibility requirements before you apply for any type of funding, don’t be intimidated. You have some power in this too. Not only are they making a decision about you, but you’re deciding too. That means there are questions you should ask first before even submitting an application.
For the purpose of this article, we’ll focus on what to ask before applying for unsecured business lines of credit. Here are 3 key questions to consider:
1.) What makes you the expert? This is a simple way of saying what can you help me with that I can’t do on my own. Many companies can do more harm to your credit than anything, which of course, will affect all business dealings in the future. Anyone can fill out some applications, send them out blindly, and sit on their hands waiting for a response. What you want is an expert with professional networks, know-how, and a history of creating positive results without negatively affecting their clients’ credit.
2.) What are the benefits of working with your firm? As you can see, there are many firms offering to help you obtain funds. So what makes one company stand apart from another? Well it depends on your needs and preferences. For instance, if your credit is in need of restoration, then choosing a company that can help you in that way, as well, may be beneficial to you.
3.) What are the upfront fees?Notice, that we didn’t say “Are there any fees?” The truth is, some firms charge upfront “fees” for different reasons, but be careful. Exceptions are, typically, application and consulting fees, which many firms legally and ethically charge. However, in most cases, it is better to go with a firm that receives the majority of their revenue from approved loans. This shows confidence, experience, and is no risk to you. Read more
Get 500k As A Deposit For Your Next Real Estate Investment
Living up to my promise on being an “Apartment Investment Resource, Who Is Determined To Create Value”…I have an amazing opportunity for you to get financing for your investments.
Today, it takes more than just a well ran business to bring in the capital for desired investments or expansion. A key element is having a properly established corporate financial profile distinctly separate from your personal credit profile.
I am a representative of a unique company called Corp. Credit Concepts (CCC). They came to inception by a group of investors looking to combine resources to expand multiple business ventures and investments. Upon their quest for reliable corporate financial enhancement and specialized business consulting services, they discovered that the industry harbored many companies primarily providing education.
CCC found itself spending thousands of dollars on educational material which seemed to lack the detail in order to create a successful plan of action. They continued seeking individuals or companies with specialized knowledge and unique financial services only to find limited or non-existent results. They also spent the next several years vigorously researching and developing their own programs to meet it’s own investment needs. Soon they realized that what they had created was cutting-edge programs and solutions which other entrepreneurs and investors could successfully utilize in their quest to financial success. It was at this point CCC put into motion a plan of action to offer its innovative services to the public and other industry professionals alike. Through dedication and utmost integrity CCC has been consistent at providing its clients with successful solutions. Read more
Vendor Program Arrangement – Sales And Company Benefits
Vendor program arrangement is a kind of financing arrangement in which finance is offered to the customers as a sales, marketing & deal closing tool.
It benefits the customer, the company and the sales team. Following are the ways in which the Vendor Program is beneficial for the sales team and for the company:
• Sales Benefits
o It is easier for the sales team to close more deals as finance is included as a part of the whole package. Including finance in the whole package makes it easier for the customer to buy the product. In other words, finance adds value to the product.
o Deal closing opportunities allow the sales team to offer discounts on various products & claw back via finance or sell at full price but offer low cost finance! That is, these opportunities present via what is called as ‘price flexibility’.
o Fast finance decisions help in making the customers less prone to changes of mind or finding a better deal elsewhere. Do not allow others to offer finance to your customers. If you entertain customers who need your service but not finance, you will lose control of the interest rate. As a result of the same, sales could be lost or delayed.
o Additional Leads can be gained by implementing innovative pricing schemes.
• Company Benefits
o Offering finance presents a tough competition in the market. As the customer keeps trading in and trading up with the same company, the competitors do not get a look-in.
o It becomes easy to control the second hand market as the used equipment comes back to the vendor. Read more
Is There Anyone Who Is Not Worried About The Sub Prime Mortgage Lending Meltdown?
Well according to some so-called facts appearing in a recent New York Times article (by B. Stein), that meltdown is just is not happening. It is all a mass hallucination experienced by a falsely alarmed and grossly misinformed public. The article declares that of the ten-plus trillion dollars in outstanding mortgage loans, only less than fifteen percent of them (less than 1.5 trillion bucks worth) are subprime loans. [I.e., Subprime: Loans offered at an interest rate above prime to those unfortunates who are less than qualified for prime rate borrowing, in other words, sub prime borrowers, not sub prime loans.]
Subprime mortgages may carry interest rates of perhaps only 0.1% to 0.6% higher than prime, which seemingly tiny difference translates to thousands of dollars in additional costs to borrowers and higher profits to lenders). The bulk of all mortgage loans, the article goes on to insist are not subprime and therefore have a much lower foreclosure rate. I guess the conclusion drawn here is that if only half of the sub prime loans are in, or headed for, foreclosure…why worry about a measly little forty or fifty billion dollars being ripped from the country’s coffers?
Nevertheless, that dinky little number is growing because of the folly of so many greedy lenders during the market boom of the first part of the new millennia. That is: “Hey guys, let’s loan out 90%, 100% and 125% of the borrower’s home equity value and charge exorbitant rates, that can be hidden by low entry-rate payments, which will consume the borrower when the rates adjust and plow mercilessly into their life savings and pocket books in a few years.”
Well those “few years” are up now and the market is down, and the number of naïve borrowers walking away from their mortgages is at an alarming high. Who can blame them? Why pay off a $300,000 loan on a house you don’t want or need that may be worth only $250,000 today and less next week? Moreover, is it any secret as to who gets jammed into bankruptcy and/or foreclosure first in this kind of economy? Of course not: it’s the disenfranchised that have the least financial wherewithal and recoverability. None-the-less, financial wherewithal notwithstanding, as time chugs on, as it is wont to do, the higher echelon homeowners, breathing freely for now will feel the sting as well, as they soon come to realize the mortgage situations they to have gotten themselves into for the same reasons.
