100% financing still exists!
Private money lenders rarely demand a down payment from you and may finance both your purchase and restoration of the property, or more! Often , investors have purchased a property so far below market value that their lenders have actually paid for not only the purchase of the property, all the renovation costs, AND allowed the investor to receive money at the purchase closing to put towards their ongoing expenses and receive an initial profit at closing. .
This sounds great, but where do I find these lenders?
Private money lenders can be family members, friends, business partners, professional or personal acquaintances, attorneys, accountants, business owners, or strangers. Anyone that you see every day could be a potential private money lender for your real estate deals. Realize that people you come in to contact with on a daily basis may be receptive to an investment opportunity if you have a solid plan.
What’s in it for them?
Fixed returns on their capital providing larger profits than almost all other investment offerings , secured by real assets at below market value, insured against fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters, and the ability to do all of this completely tax-free within their retirement accounts if they wish. Need we convince you more ? Individual retirement accounts are an wonderful source for private money lending. Investors who have suffered through the erosion of their retirement accounts in the past are likely to be receptive when you contact them to be a private money lender.
Where do the funds come from?
There are a variety of sources that private money lenders can tap into in order to take advantage of excellent investment opportunities. Individuals with self-directed IRAs can now use those funds to build future wealth through real estate investments. The flexibility of a self-directed IRA has enabled them to have control of their contributions and allows them to take new paths to wealth management and unprecidented growth within their funds. Finding these investors and matching them with your real estate deals is a way you can finance your deal without using any of your own cash and credit.
