Understanding The Basics Of Atlanta Private Money Lending Programs

By Tom G. Honeycutt


There are many people every year who are denied loans because they do not meet all the necessary criteria of traditional lending institutions. Banks assess one's eligibility based on credit history, employment status, and collateral; people do not score high enough in all or some of these categories, must look elsewhere for a loan, which is where Atlanta private money lenders come in.

Private loans are provided through private investors who make funding available to people who are not able to obtain it through mainstream sources. Lenders or loan officers specialize in matching borrowers with investors who are willing to front them the money for a loan, these "middle-men" assist clients in finding the terms and rates which best fit their needs.

Lenders who officiate loans can be found through personal referrals, in the Yellow Pages, or online. It is important to do some research into the background of this person before deciding to do business with him or her. Requesting and contacting references as well as finding out the lender's foreclosure rate is advisable.

After choosing a lender they are confident in and comfortable with, the borrower will begin the loan application process. This begins with completing a "Statement of Information" form and submitting it as well as all supporting documents which are required, doing so gives the investor an overview of the applicant's financial situation. Clients should be sure to disclose any credit issues etc., with the lender, as they are in the business of finding solutions for such problems.

The money loan package best suited to the client depends on his or her financial state as well as the intended purpose of the funding. Similarly, the maximum loan amount and interest rates will also be based on these factors. The more details pertaining to the use of the money, the better: lenders prefer to have a clear idea of how the funds will be spent.

If the loan is to purchase a property, appraisal, obtaining a Broker Price Opinion or Automated Valuation Model, and dealing with an escrow company may also be involved. What's more, any outstanding liens against the property or applicant must be resolved and confirmed with the appropriate documentation before any new loan can be approved.

When the investor approves the loan, the lender prepares all the contractual documents which are required to make it official. Clients must read these documents over very carefully before signing anything and ensure they fully understand the terms. Then the funds will be released to the borrower, proceeds directed to the investor, and the loan documents will be filed with the county. The loan servicing company will "board" the loan, which establishes a regular system of payments that will be in effect until the loan is paid off.
