Private Lending?
Hard money lending might not be as popular as it used to be, but it's still an important part of the mortgage landscape. Private lending is a loan that's not issued by a bank or financial institution. Instead, the loan is provided by an individual or group of individuals. Private lending is sometimes also called a "hard money loan." Hard money lending got its name because it's often used by real estate investors to buy properties quickly before they're put on the open market. Investors who use hard money loans usually already have a buyer lined up and just need to purchase the property before it's sold to someone else. Thus, the loan is considered to be "hard" because it's not for everyone.
Private Mortgage?
Private mortgages are typically used by borrowers who have been turned down by traditional lenders such as banks. These borrowers may have bad credit, be self-employed, or have some other factor that has caused them to be turned down for a mortgage.
There are a number of reasons why someone would choose to use a private lender instead of a bank.
of Private Mortgage?
While a private mortgage can be a good option for some borrowers who can get a prime mortgage approval, there are also some drawbacks to consider.
on a Private Loan
Interest payments on a private mortgage loan are not tax-deductible. That means if you're in a higher tax bracket, a private mortgage will cost you more than it would if you were able to deduct the interest. Mortgage interests can also range anywhere from 8% to 18%. While some private lenders operate on a fixed interest rate, others will charge a higher rate if they feel you're a higher-risk borrower. The best way to avoid a high-interest rate is by having a good credit history, a healthy down payment, and demonstrating an ability to make regular mortgage payments on time. Private mortgage lenders are usually utilized whenever the borrower is turned down by credit unions and banks.
Broker Fees
Unlike a prime or conventional lender, mortgage brokers in private lending are paid directly by the borrower. The industry standard is 1% of the loan, although some will charge a lower rate, and some will charge nothing at all. The good news about this is that the fees for mortgage brokers can be financed through a mortgage loan. You can top up your mortgage to cover the cost of the broker and add it to your monthly payments.

Private Mortgage Lender
Private lender loans don't take too much time, unlike traditional mortgages. It usually takes a couple of days up to just a week in order to be approved for your private mortgage lending application. While the releasing of funds from a private lender takes a bit longer, it's nothing compared to the time you'll experience when going through a bank or credit union. It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks for your funds to get transferred when you go to private mortgage companies.
Most private lenders want their clients to be able to transfer to prime in under a year or two in order to make a higher return on their investment. That is why private mortgages and lenders of such will help you move on to a prime lender which is also beneficial to you as a borrower.
Do We Look At?
Just like any other private loans and private financing, Winnipeg Mortgages will look at the factors which are important to any lender.
These include:
The Value of the Property
This is one of the most important factors we always consider as a private lender mortgage. We look at the property and assess the property's value in order to find out whether it is a good investment for us or not. The condition of the property is also a big factor that we look at.Down Payment
With a private mortgage lender, the minimum loan to value on the property you're looking at should be no less than 85%. That means you need to put at least a 15% down payment out of your own money to be approved. If you can afford to put a higher down payment then that would be ideal as it will increase your chances of being approved and also get you to lower private mortgage interest rates.Equity
Private money lenders can and may allow you to get a maximum of 85% loan-to-value ratio on your investment property. If you have more equity in the property, then you will be able to negotiate for a better interest rate on your private loan.Income
Income is categorized into two different types: Confirmable - this is usually what a private mortgage lender prefers. NOA or the Notice of Assessment is what we would need in order to confirm your income. Non-confirmable - this income can't be confirmed via documentation. This may be from investments, rental income, etc. If you have this type of income, then you will most likely need a higher down payment in order to get approved on your mortgage loans.Lending Mortgage Here at Us
