Plenty of Money or Not Enough Money?

By: Kalinda Stevenson, PhD

You can always get money to fund a good real estate deal.

If you think about money with a consumer mindset, you might assume that the only way to buy investment property is to buy it with your own money and your own credit. This is based on the belief that money is scarce and you have to pay for your investment by yourself.

As consumers, we are taught to go to banks to get money. Following the consumer rule that it is all about us, the banks make us beg for money. They demand all kinds of personal information, and then they decide whether or not we are worthy to borrow money.

Once again, it is all about you and your money and whether or not the banks think you are credit worthy. The rule with banks seems to be: If you have money, they will give you more. If you don\'t have money, they are reluctant to loan you any. In the consumer world, you have to deal with banks who decide if you are credit worthy.

What successful investors know that consumers don\'t know is that there\'s plenty of money available for you to invest. If the deal makes sense, there\'s no lack of money. In the investor world, there are people called private money lenders. You don\'t ever have to go to a bank to get money to invest in any property.

You might not have it, but someone has the money you need. If you want to buy a property, and you need $10,000 as a down payment, the consumer mindset says, \"I need $10,000 for a down payment. I don\'t have $10,000, therefore, I can\'t buy the property.\" Investors know that somebody out there has $10,000 to invest in the property. I might not have it, but you might have it. Investors know: \"I don\'t need to have my own money. I can use other people\'s money.\"

If you have an investor and a consumer looking at the same property, the consumer will very likely say: \"I can\'t buy this because I don\'t have enough money and the bank won\'t loan me the money because I am not credit worthy.\"

In the same situation, the investor will say, "I know that this is a good deal. I'll find a private lender willing to fund this deal so that I can buy the property." The investor knows that private lenders first of all want to know if this is a good investment. They don't decide whether or not to fund the deal based only on your money and your credit. The fact is, if the investment really is a good deal, you will be able to find a private investor willing to provide the money.
