Non-traditional Financing and the Value of a Commercial Mortgage Broker

Private hard money lenders are in the business of providing loans and loan services to people who require hard money loans (loans collateralized by real estate.) Private hard money lenders may be direct hard money lenders or brokers of hard money loans. Most private hard money lenders are, in actuality, brokers. Some private hard money lenders are both brokers and direct lenders. In these cases, the private hard money lender generally funds one or up to a few small loans per year and serves in the broker capacity to clients for the loans they help to originate. Deciding on whether to work with a hard money broker or a private hard money lender is similar to deciding on whether to purchase real estate with the assistance of a broker/agent or whether to make an offer direct to the seller on your own.

“It happened again. I got my combined gas-and-electric bill and had absolutely no idea how it could possibly cost so much. My roommates and I sat down and looked over the bill and we really aren’t sure quite how we’re going to cover the cost. We’ll manage somehow, I suppose. But in the meantime, I’ve been doing some research on how to make our apartment more energy efficient. My roommate said this wasn’t up to me since our landlord is the one who is ultimately responsible for making the building more efficient. But the landlord isn’t the one paying our electric bill!

Many “talking heads” in the real estate and financial media have been predicting a “soft-landing”
for the housing market for months now.
Frankly, I think that the vast majority of these “experts” haven’t got a clue as to what is really driving

the present real estate market conditions. Many of the well meaning folks who report on real estate and housing aren’t even old enough to have lived through a full market cycle as an adult.

¿Donde esta el baño? ¿Como esta usted? That pretty well sums up two years of high school Spanish taken as a college prep course almost 50 years ago!
