If you don’t qualify for loans with traditional lenders, there are other options that are much faster and work on an individualized basis. While untraditional lenders can pose risks, they may offer just what you need to complete your project. Read more below to find out if they are right for you!
The loan process can be a long one—even before you officially qualify. Depending on your project, you may spend months planning and researching before you even really get started. When it comes time to seek a loan lender, the loan process won’t even begin immediately—it can take as long as a month or more to get things rolling. So, what should you do when you don’t qualify for a loan from your traditional lender? Easy—seek out other lenders.
What kinds of lenders are there, though? And what type of lender is best for you? Usually it comes down to understanding the difference between public and private lenders and the types of loans they offer.
The Benefits of Working with Untraditional Lenders
Traditional lenders are usually compromised of local banks and credit unions. They have high standards when it comes to borrowing money. They value experience, reliability, and reputability. A great credit score, financial history and debt to income ratio will all be important things they consider before approving you for a loan—any or all of these things can make or break you. Fortunately, there are untraditional lenders who put collateral before financial history, and therefore give greater chances to people who otherwise wouldn’t qualify with traditional lenders. Untraditional lenders, or private money lenders, focus on you, your property and your plans. They are generally blunt with you, and if they don’t support your plans they will tell you. The transparency they offer is part of the individualism that isn’t always present with public lenders. In addition to the opportunity they offer through their selection process, Arizona Private Money Lenders also allow opportunity through their speed. A traditional lender may take a month or more to get the process going—a private lender can get the process going as soon as a week and, sometimes, the day of. Every situation and project is difference, but speed is never a bad thing.
Are the Risks Worth the Benefits?
If you aren’t eligible for traditional loans, private lenders offer a few benefits you won’t see elsewhere. However, there are some risks of working with Private Money Lenders. For one, they have high interest rates and fees. Unlike the rest of the market, the costs of private lenders can be up to five percent higher. Not only that, but they have short repayment periods. Depending on what you need your loan for, this may not be the best option. Private lenders offer hard money that is expected to be paid back fast. Generally, this makes hard money ideal for cases of fixer uppers and foreclosures. Determining if a hard money lender is right for you will require you to evaluate your situation. Just because they can get you the money faster or at all, compared to other lenders doesn’t mean they are the best option.
