Traditional mortgages can come with some downfalls such as stricter qualification requirements. A private loan, or hard money loan, allows you to get the mortgage you want even if you have a lower credit score or high debt-to-income ratio. That’s because you work with a private lender that has its own requirements.

- You want to jump through fewer hoops

Common Questions About Private Loans
A private loan has some big advantages. It allows you to work directly with a smaller company or an individual that can sometimes offer you more favorable loan terms. Also, you can usually qualify while having a lower credit score.
Some private lenders have no minimum nor any credit score requirement; however, if your credit score is no less than 500, you may have more choices.
Getting a private loan from an individual is inherently riskier. It’s generally best to use a qualified, trusted mortgage company with a history of providing various loan types. Even better, you should use an attorney-owned and operated mortgage company to be sure you have the highest level of service and protection possible.
It’s good to know going in that typically, you’ll need a larger down payment for a private loan. Your monthly payments may also be higher.
