Private money lenders are crucial if your deal flow exceeds your funding. Real estate investors are always in pursuit of the next awesome deal. Once you find that deal comes the second part of the equation:
Funding the deal!
No one has unlimited capital sources. Without funding the deal is incomplete. Real Estate Investors need to actively work on having private money providers to fund their real estate investment opportunities.
Who are Private Money Lenders? A private money loan provider is a non-institutional (non-bank) individual or company that loans money, generally secured by a note and mortgage.
The primary place for new investors to find private lenders is your inner circle of friends & family. Obtaining financing from your inner circle is popular because you can get in front of these people as they already know you. A downside of raising money from your inner circle is that they may not be sophisticated enough to know what is a good deal and what is a bad deal and this can lead to problems. Hence when you take funding from your inner circle by clear about the risks and rewards.
Private money lenders: Farm your warm circle or people who know you.
The best way to explain this circle is to draw an analogy to LinkedIn Connections. Again, you should not spend most of your time finding them and/or introductions
Private Money Lenders: The rest of the world.
These are people you do not know. You will need a pitch book or something showing why you are a viable borrower.
