Where to Raise Capital

Financing an investment is crucial.

To be successful in real estate investment, you must have a reasonably solid financial foundation. That means having assets, money in the bank, some income, and a good credit history. If you're looking for a no-money-down, sweat equity strategy, this wouldn't be your site.

Lenders are looking for deals, and trustworthy clients. Here is a general list of options:
  • Conventional lenders: the least expensive source of money. U.S. Bank just offered a loan on a property I was working on for 3.8%, fixed for five years.
  • Hard money lenders: useful to know, I am hearing 10% interest, with two points fees.
  • Personal money: this can be friends or family, at five to eight percent interest
  • Seller financing: you can always ask.

I found this list of 40 hard money lenders:
