What is Private Money Lending?
A private money lender is a non-institutional (non-bank) individual or company that loans money, generally secured by a note and mortgage/deed of trust, for the purpose of funding a real estate transaction. Private money lenders are generally considered more relationship-based and focused on the property than banks or institutional lenders.
