How Do Private Money Loans Work?

Waiting for an inheritance, but need access to your money faster? Private money loans may be an option for you. Here is what you need to know about private money loans.

  • A private money loan is based on the equity in the property – personal credit and income are not a major factor.

  • Pay creditors, attorney costs and settle the estate rather than coming out of pocket

  • Keep the tax benefit

  • Buy out other heirs

Settling Estate Obligations With A Private Money

Private money is often a long process sometimes taking up to 3 years. During the private money process heirs may incur expenses like funeral costs, lawyer fees, settling outstanding debts, mortgage payments, taxes, and repairs to the property. A private money loan may allow the heir of the property to borrow against the equity of the property and pay these expenses without coming out of pocket. This could be a huge stress relief for people while dealing with an already stressful situation.

Buying Out Other Heirs With A Private money Loan

When there are multiple heirs inheriting real estate, it’s common for one party to want to maintain ownership while others want to sell their interests. If the heir who wants to keep the property does not have enough cash to buyout the other parties, then a private money loan may be a good solution. Through a private money loan, the heir can borrow based on the equity in the property to payoff the other parties. Hard money lenders like Wilshire Quinn offer fast funding for these types of loans.

Factors That Will Help You Sell Your Home

Price

Since early 2020 Sacramento real estate has seen unprecedented price appreciation. Quickly rising interest rates has caused the real estate market to take a breath. Pricing is going to become more important to enhance visibility and attract more buyers. Price your home to increase the number of offers received so you are not locked into negotiations with one buyer.

Competitive Market Analysis

Setting the list price correctly is the first step of successfully selling your home. A Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) is prepared by a real estate professional & contains information about homes that have recently sold similar to yours in size, amenities, location and updating completed. A CMA will tell you what homes are selling for and how long they are taking to sell.

Marketing Your Property

Research shows that over 80% of home buyers start their search online. The internet has transcended traditional marketing. We market your home on social media websites, real estate websites, and the Multiple Listing System (MLS) to ensure your home dominates the internet.
