What a private money lender does
A private money lender makes real estate loans with private capital instead of bank deposits. That lets us decide on the deal itself, the house, the price, the rehab and the resale value, instead of tax returns and debt-to-income ratios, and close in days instead of weeks.
The terms private money lender and hard money lender are often used to mean the same thing. See hard money vs private money for the differences people do mean.
What we look at
- The deal. Purchase price, rehab budget and after-repair value.
- The plan. Your scope of work and who is doing it.
- Your experience. First-time investors can qualify. Experience helps with terms.
- Credit. We look at it, but the deal matters more.

Why investors use private money in Austin
Banks rarely lend on houses that need foundation work, a new roof or a full gut, and they rarely close fast enough to win a distressed deal. Private money fills that gap, and on a well-bought flip the cost of the loan is small next to the profit it makes possible.
