The biggest blunder any investor can make in real estate is to shop too early for money, yet this is the most common mistake we see investors making in real estate. The rule of thumb is it’s much easier to shop for cash when you have a deal in hand and under contract.
Why? Because as long as that property is not under contract, it’s up for grabs by anyone and everyone and no lender will spend time and resources on a property that can be snatched out from under the borrower at any moment’s notice.
Putting the house under contract is an easy enough, 4-Step process.
- Step 1:Prospect and Review Potential Properties
- Step 2:Write Offers
- Step 3:Get Offer Accepted by Seller
- Step 4:Put Earnest Money in Escrow to complete the contract.
Once these 4 Steps are completed, you have a fully executed Purchase and Sale Agreement, the property is under contract, and you are ready to shop for cash.

5 Reasons Why Investors Use Private Money
- It’s Fast: Flipping homes is a time-sensitive business. Depending on how fast you submit the loan package items, you can have your loan in several days to several weeks. It can take one to three months to secure a loan with traditional financing.
- It Looks at Collateral, Not You: Private money lenders are not interested in credit score. They are interested in how much value they see in the property since the property is the asset that is backing the loan.
- It’s Everywhere: Private money lenders are often people who have funds parked in lower-yielding financial vehicles like CDs, stocks, or IRAs and are looking for newer ways to maximize their funds in higher yielding conduits, like lending on real estate.
- It’s Creative: With Private money, you can get funding on great deals that banks would normally shun. Promising investment properties that need repairs, make them unsuitable for most banks, but perfect for most Private money lenders.
- It’s Flexible: Private money lenders don’t have the same strictly enforced guidelines to follow for their loan applications, so they are more willing to help creatively structure loans that work for the project.
