Why Borrowers need Private Money Loans

Private Money Loans (sometimes referred to as Hard Money Loans) are needed when a borrower and / or a property fall outside underwriting guidelines of conventional sources such as banks, life insurance companies and conduits. The primary credit decision of those types of lenders is based upon the borrowers credit and income. Therefore, a loan may be a very prudent transaction from a lending perspective, but is classified as subprime, thereby, requiring private money loans.
