Understanding Private Lender Financing
Private Lender Financing for Real Estate & Business Projects
Investor Loans Plus AI provides educational information and lender-matching services connecting real estate investors and business owners with private, non-bank lenders that specialize in alternative financing solutions.
Unlike traditional banks, private lenders focus on the asset, the project, and overall risk profile, rather than rigid income formulas, employment verification, or lengthy underwriting timelines.
Understanding Private Lender Financing (Not a Bank)
Private lenders are not traditional banks and do not follow the same underwriting rules.
Key differences may include:
Flexible documentation requirements
Asset-based and project-based evaluations
Business purpose lending
Faster review timelines (varies by lender)
Alternative income and credit assessments
⚠️ Each private lender sets its own criteria. Terms, rates, leverage, and approval standards vary.
