Raising Private Money For Real Estate Wholesalers

One of the reasons I have a successful real estate investing business today is because I have made mistakes along the way — and, more importantly, I learned from them.

You don’t have to make the mistakes I made.

You can skip the pain of learning the hard way by reading about my slip-ups and what I did to fix them.

Did You Know That If You Lack Private Money to Close, You Are At Major Risk?

Wholesalers, you’ve done your job.

You’ve build a buyers list.  You’ve found a great deal.

But now, if you don’t get a buyer to purchase your deal quickly and if you do not have the cash or private money to close the deal yourself, you’ve got a big problem.

What are you going to do if your buyer doesn’t come through and close your deal?

If you haven’t spent the time and learned to raise private money, you might end up in serious trouble.

You might lose your earnest money, you can damage your reputation and – you will lose your profit.

That stinks.

I Got Screwed Early In My Wholesaling Career Because I Did Not Have Private Money

This happened to me early in my wholesaling career.

I put a great property under contract and then sold it to another real estate investor.

We had our double closings all set up, and I was ready to go.  But, guess what happened.  My buyer had a hunch that I didn’t have the private money to close on the property and he stalled.

He didn’t close.

He went behind my back and caused me to lose the deal and my non-refundable earnest money. It was a tough lesson that hit me right where it hurts—in the bank account!

Why did it happen?  It happened because I had not taken the time to learn and then raise private money for my real estate investing business.

Most Cash Buyers Value the Services of Real Estate Wholesalers

There are occasionally unscrupulous people out there.

Beware and be prepared.  Make sure that you have access to private money.

You must maintain control of your deal.  That means you must have private money or quick access to cash available as a backup if your deal doesn’t close with your buyer.

Don’t leave anything up to chance.

People are good and honest for the most part, and they value you as a wholesaler, but you must be prepared if things don’t go according to plan. You don’t want to have to completely depend on someone else for the deal to go through smoothly.

The trick is to maintain control of the deal, manage your timelines, deadlines and inspection periods.  And just in case things don’t go as planned, you must spend the time raising and have access to private money as a backup.

If I Only Would Have Had Raised Private Money for My Real Estate Deals

If I would have been able to close on that deal, I could have maintained control of that property and made my $15,000 profit. Half the battle is maintaining control and the other half is making sure that you have access to the private money to close.

Get access to private money today so that you can close your deals yourself if needed. Then and only then are you truly in control of your cash flow and your business.

When it comes to raising private money for your real estate deals, there are 3 proven ways I suggest you go about finding your private lenders.

The keys with private money for real estate is to keep it simple. You’ve heard the old saying, and yet when it comes to most private money strategies it just gets too complicated. Private money is a very simple concept there is nothing magical about it and you don’t need to fear it.

Let me explain what I mean before I teach you 3 ways to go about finding private lenders. Private money is simply private money lent by individuals, also known through investor lingo as private lenders, to rehabbers and landlords that pay cash for properties. In return for the cash, the private money is secured by the real estate with 30 percent or more equity covering the loan. That makes private money for real estate deals a pretty safe loan (or investment) for the private lender.

The problem that most real estate investors have when it comes to actually getting the money is finding private lenders. In my training program, on raising private money, I teach real estate investors that the key to getting the money lies in teaching your lenders to become lenders. But, the key to finding the potential lenders lies in following 3 simple steps.

First, create a business or at least a business plan that is clearly focused on the distressed property investing business. I mean your business buys houses at significant discounts and then fixes, sells or rents for a profit. Clearly communicate this business to your potential private lenders but make absolutely sure that you focus the benefits of the business on them, your private money lender and don’t focus on you.

Second, start with your warm network. Now, I know, I know, everyone says start with the people you know. What if you don’t know anyone, right? We’ll get to that in just a moment. But first, lets understand that I am not saying go ask for money. Instead, teach your potential private money lenders what private money is all about. Let’s face it, most people do not even know that the opportunity to earn such high returns secured by real estate even exists. So, teach them about it.

Third, spy on the success of others. If you don’t know anyone with money as the complaint is usually voiced, instead of finding new lenders, plug into existing private money networks. Once a private money lender gets a taste of lending private money on a real estate deal they are usually hooked. Private money is a great opportunity to passively be involved in real estate without the hassles of rehabbing and renting.

And then, to tie these three strategies together, I suggest you use cash magnets, also known as private money attracting components in your business, to attract and secure private money. Once you discover how to effectively use these strategies in a complete private money raising system you will be well on your way to getting all the private money you need for your real estate deals.
