Trusted Hard Money Lenders in Oklahoma City, OK

Private money loans are a form of financing that is used to purchase investment real estate that may not conform to conventional underwriting standards. Funds for private money loans generally come from private individuals or from mortgage pool funds run by fund managers that raise capital from investors.

Private money lenders are able to approve and fund a loan much more quickly than traditional lenders such as banks. They do not require as much documentation because they are primarily concerned about the value of the real estate being used as collateral versus the credit and income of the borrower. Private money loans often provide more leverage than conventional loans, allowing borrowers to rely less on their own or outside investors’ capital.

Private money loans are offered for a variety of investment purposes including:

• Fix and flip loans that allow you to acquire, renovate and sell real estate;
• Bridge loans which help you close quickly on time-sensitive investment loans;
• Cash-out loans that allow you to refinance real estate you already own in order to obtain capital for another purpose;
• Construction loans whereby a borrower may be able to finance a portion of the site acquisition and much or all of the construction cost.

First and foremost, choose a lender that is experienced with the type of loan that is being requested. The lender should understand the collateral and strategy and be able to structure a deal that offers you the opportunity to have a profitable outcome. A good private money lender can often add value to the investment decisions that you must make. Next, verify that your lender has the capacity to make the loan and the capability of executing it in the time frame required. Finally, make sure that your lender has a reputation of integrity and conducts its business with honesty and transparency.
