Unlocking Capital Through Direct Funding

Skyhook Capital’s Private Money Lending service empowers real estate investors by connecting them with individuals willing to provide personal capital to fund transactions. This innovative financing solution bypasses traditional bank requirements, offering a faster, more flexible alternative to secure the funds you need for your next deal.

What Is Private Money Lending?

Private Money Lending involves the use of funds from individual lenders—whether from personal networks, friends, family, or independent investors—to finance real estate projects. Unlike conventional bank loans that depend heavily on credit scores and long approval processes, private money loans are secured by the property’s value and negotiated directly between the lender and the borrower. This method offers swift access to capital and customizable terms, making it particularly attractive for time-sensitive or unconventional deals.

How It Works

  1. Identify Your Funding Needs:
    Investors determine the amount of capital required for a property acquisition, renovation, or other related expenses.
  2. Source a Private Money Lender:
    Leveraging established networks, investors connect with lenders who are interested in funding real estate transactions using their personal capital.
  3. Negotiate the Terms:
    Both parties negotiate key aspects of the deal, including interest rate, repayment schedule, loan duration, and collateral requirements. This process is highly flexible, allowing terms to be tailored to suit the specific needs of the project.
  4. Formalize the Agreement:
    Once terms are agreed upon, a legally binding agreement is drafted—typically including a promissory note and a mortgage or deed of trust—to secure the loan with the property as collateral.
  5. Disbursement and Repayment:
    The lender disburses the funds to the investor, who then uses the capital to complete the transaction. Repayment is made according to the agreed-upon schedule, with interest accruing over the life of the loan.

Benefits for Investors and Lenders

For Investors:

  • Quick Access to Capital: Obtain funding in days instead of weeks, enabling swift execution of deals.
  • Flexible Terms: Negotiate customized loan terms that match the specific requirements of your project.
  • Simplified Approval: Benefit from a process that focuses on the property’s value and the investor’s strategy, rather than solely on credit scores.

For Private Money Lenders:

  • Attractive Returns: Earn competitive interest rates—often between 8% and 12% annually—on your invested capital.
  • Direct Control: Set your own lending criteria and terms, allowing for greater flexibility and personalized decision-making.
  • Asset-Backed Security: Loans are typically secured by the property, providing an added layer of protection against borrower default.

Considerations and Best Practices

  • Conduct Thorough Due Diligence:
    Both investors and lenders should carefully assess the property’s value and the borrower’s track record. A detailed inspection and market analysis are crucial.
  • Ensure Clear Documentation:
    All terms must be explicitly outlined in a legally binding contract. Engaging a real estate attorney to review documents is highly recommended to protect both parties.
  • Diversify to Mitigate Risk:
    Lenders are encouraged to spread their investments across multiple deals to reduce the impact of any single default.
  • Maintain Open Communication:
    Transparent and regular communication throughout the process ensures that both parties understand their responsibilities and can quickly address any issues that arise.
