If you've ever had a buyer turned down by a bank, needed to close quickly, or worked with a property that didn't fit conventional lending guidelines, private money may be the solution.

After nearly three decades in the mortgage industry, I've found that most Realtors have the same questions about private money lending. This guide answers the most common ones, explains how asset-based lending works, and helps you recognize when a private money loan may save a transaction that would otherwise fall apart.

Whether you're working with a real estate investor, a bridge loan, new construction, or a unique financing scenario, understanding private money gives you another option when traditional financing isn't the right fit.
