Structuring Checklist & Underwriting Notes
- A clean Schedule of Real Estate Owned (SREO) showing current values, debt balances, and monthly rents across your portfolio accelerates private credit committee sign-off.
- Cross-collateralized notes should include clear partial-release clauses so selling or refinancing one parcel does not require paying off the entire facility.
- Always document the exact exit catalyst (signed lease, completed certificate of occupancy, or listed sale) in your loan submission summary.
Frequently Asked Questions: Private Money Loans
How does private money differ from institutional hard money?
Institutional hard money follows standardized securitization matrices (strict FICO tiers, automated leverage grids, and uniform draw rules). Private money comes from balance-sheet credit funds that can underwrite unique collateral, cross-collateralize existing rentals, or fund mid-rehab takeouts.
Can I use equity in an existing rental property as the down payment on a new purchase?
Yes. Through a cross-collateralized blanket private money note, a lender places a first or second lien on your existing equity-rich investment property alongside the new acquisition parcel, reducing or eliminating cash down at the closing table.
Are private money loans available for consumer or primary residence use?
No. Loan Daddy LLC exclusively arranges business-purpose loans on non-owner-occupied investment real estate. Owner-occupied homes and consumer-purpose requests are never accepted.
