Private lending or a private home mortgage means getting the financing you need from a private mortgage lender, as opposed to applying to a bank or other financial institution for a loan.

There are advantages and disadvantages to a private mortgage, but the most important thing you should understand is that private lending covers a broad range and can be tailored to each homeowner’s specific needs. Since this is a special type of mortgage or loan, it can be difficult to understand its particularities. If you want to succeed in securing a private loan for your financial needs, you will need guidance and advice from trained specialists. At Rampone-Marsh, we can offer you that guidance, along with convenient offers because we are the best in what we do.

Why would you need the services of
a private mortgage lender?

Most people turn to private lending when they have been refused by the bank for various reasons. The most common reason has a lot to do with bad credit, meaning late payments and a not-so-bright credit history. But there are other reasons why the bank may refuse a loan: the difficulty of the type of loan, the existence of a first mortgage and not enough equity to allow for a second one, etc. Regardless of the reasons, you don’t have to give up just yet. The existence of private lenders may offer people who have been turned down by the bank a second chance.

Of course, there is no guarantee that if the bank turned you down, a private mortgage lender would automatically accept your proposal. And you should know that interest rates for a private mortgage are higher than for a standard one, but they are still lower than the interest rates of a personal loan, let’s say. If your credit history is not very bright, that interest rate may go up. However, private lending still represents a chance for you to fulfill your dreams and not let financial obstacles stand in your way. And if Rampone-Marsh is your private mortgage broker in Kelowna, you have even bigger chances of securing a private mortgage to help you achieve your goal.

Investing in money can turn out to be a very profitable investment if you have the right guidance and expertise. Two of the biggest advantages are that you can decide the exact amount of money you want to invest, and you can also control the return of investment based on the interest rate you agree to charge. While becoming a private lender can be an excellent business idea, you should be aware that there are risks involved and decide from the start how you want to screen your clients. You should have access to their credit history and financial overview and also get to know them and see what type of persons they are.

Applying for a mortgage shouldn’t be hard or confusing,
let’s break this down and make it simple for you!

Why should I get a pre-approved mortgage?

There are several benefits to getting a Pre-Approval before you start searching for your next home.

  • Your mortgage rate will be secured for 120 days. Even if rates go up, yours won’t.
  • You’ll know what you can afford, helping to narrow down the search process.
  • Pre-approval will make you look like a more serious buyer, helping you find a good realtor and can give you negotiating power with the home seller.
  • A mortgage pre-approval will make the final closing faster since you already have most of the work completed.
What minimum down payment do I need?

You can provide as little as 5% of the total price of the home if you have good credit. Even if you have poor credit, we have a network of lenders that are willing to work with poor credit buyers, providing you have a 15-35% down payment.

What is an appraisal?

A written analysis prepared by a qualified appraiser and estimating the value of a property. The Appraised Value is an opinion of a property’s fair market value, based on an appraiser’s knowledge, experience, and analysis of the property.

You will need to have an excellent credit history, ideally without any payment delays and significant debts. There is also other paperwork involved regarding your business, and you will need to be able to provide a down payment of at least 10%.
