Use Private Money To Grow Your Real Estate Business! Team Thayer #RealEstate #Realtor #investor #oregon

Make no mistake about it, private money lenders are investors looking to make profits off of somebody else. However, their cooperation with real estate investors has essentially changed today’s financial landscape. A private money lender is an investor who makes loans secured by real estate. While they may serve the same purpose as a traditional lending institution – think government loans and big banks – there are several key differences: private money lenders typically charge higher rates than banks, but will also make loans that the average bank would usually pass on. It is important to note the difference between the two. While banks and similar lenders may offer the most attractive rates, they do not provide the same combination of speed and transparency in the decision-making process. For these reasons alone, private money is essential to growing your real estate business.
The average real estate investor relies on a steady flow of private money to supplement their respective deals.  Not only are institutional loans lengthy and cumbersome, but they can also impede the progress of a residential redeveloper.  Conversely, private money can afford investors the ability to grow their business at a steady pace.

When Will Bank Foreclosurews ‘Normalize’? Team Thayer #realestate #investor #housing #market #news #oregon

With much of the talk surrounding the housing market centered on “normalization” or returning to its pre-crisis state, one metric which the market is watching is the distressed sales share—the share of REO and short sales that comprise total residential home sales.
