Hyak Financial often receives inquiries for loans that do not qualify for traditional financing.  The transactions do not fit “in the box” for a variety of reasons.  These transactions are often sound investments. Private Money Loans, also referred to as “hard money” or “bridge financing”, are funded by private investors.  The funds are used in situations where traditional bank loans are not feasible, including:

• Timing – Banks can take too long making a decision or an opportunity comes with no time for a standard application.
• Financial Crisis – Emergencies come up.  Asset rich and cash poor? Private money can be the solution.
• Collateral Type, Credit Score and Cash Flow – Banks are limited in their lending practices.  A transaction may still make sense even though it does not fit into standard underwriting guidelines. Plus, private investor will yield a higher interest rate on an investment than a bank!
