Different Ways to Finance Real Estate Investments
Many people choose not to invest in real estate and build passive income streams for themselves and for their families out of fear. Many mentors label this hesitance F.E.A.R. or “false evidence appearing real.” The reason for this is that all the most common fears- excuses like “my credit’s not perfect” or “I don’t have that much money” are easily fixed. This article addresses one of the most basic real estate investing fears- financing.
Although mortgage brokers remain one of the best and easiest methods of financing investment property, in this economy you are not guaranteed a loan even if you have good credit. Before you invest in your first property it would be a good idea to meet with a mortgage professional who can accurately assess how good your credit score is and decide if you are even in a financial position to start investing. Once you have done this you can start to look at unconventional sources of funding.
Because of the tightened loan requirements mortgage brokers have formed relationships with private note investors and have begun to create some special programs with some appealing elements.
Another option is to find someone who is willing to invest in you, and trusts your ability to find good deals and earn them high rates of return. Think about it- many people would much rather earn an 18% return from you than a much smaller percentage from a money market account or lose money in the stock market. This option is great for people who don’t have lots of money- these private lenders are out there, but you have to earn their trust and build legitimacy with them first.
If your credit isn’t great and your property meets certain requirements, hard money lending could be a great option for you. In this method of financing the actual property is held as collateral for the loan- that way if you don’t pay, the lender actually comes out ahead. However, this is only meant to be a short term option so a reliable exit strategy is needed.
