For investors who need money fast, this system works out beautifully. They pledge their property as collateral, and we loan out up to 75% of
purchase price. All parties benefit, and investors with opportunities that do not need long term financing have a source of funds to do their deals. Everyone wins.
If you are thinking of setting up this type of program yourself, there are a significant number of legal caveats that you must be aware of. The first is
company funding
second lean holder position on your existing properties must be aware of and amicable to what you are doing. This is a legal requirement of which there is no way of avoiding without committing fraud. Next,
usury laws in your state determine
maximum interest rate you can charge your customers. There are a host of additional laws that are more specific to
lending process, but a good lawyer will help you work through them.
Regardless, there is a decent return to be made helping others do their deals. Use your existing properties to secure
funds to lend, and make sure you have an experienced lawyer to help you sort out
details.
