Are you having a hard time getting approval for your refinance applications, second mortgages or equity take out loans on properties that you already own? Is your existing lender making your loan renewal difficult or rejecting your application outright? Have you had a financial emergency that means that you need extra capital, either for your personal needs or for your small business? Private lenders are individuals and companies that are looking to invest in situations like yours, giving you the funding that you need despite the fact that the banks may not work with you. The interest rates are often higher with private loans, and the terms are often shorter, but these vehicles can make the difference between taking advantage of growth opportunities in your business and falling into stagnation, or between having the funds you need to meet your current situation and having matters continue to spiral out of control.
