Your Real Estate Investment
Ready to flip that property or buy and hold a cash-flow rental—but need funding fast?Private lenders could be the secret weapon in your investor toolbox. At SLB Consultants, we specialize in helping investors like you secure the capital needed to build wealth through real estate. Here's what you need to know to attract private lenders the smart way.
✅ Know Your Numbers
If you're asking someone to fund your deal, you better show up with solid numbers. Private lenders are evaluating risk vs. reward, and they want to see that you’ve done your homework.
Make sure you know:
ARV (After Repair Value) – What will the property be worth after renovations?
Purchase Price – What are you buying it for?
Rehab Costs – Get estimates from contractors.
Exit Strategy – Are you flipping, renting, or refinancing?
Timeline – Lenders love clarity on when they’ll be paid back.
📄 Create a Simple, Clear Proposal
This isn't a full-blown investor pitch deck—but you do need to present a professional plan.
Include in your proposal:
Property address, photos, and comparable sales (comps)
Summary of your business plan
Breakdown of costs and projected profit
Collateral info (usually the property itself)
Pro Tip: Make it skimmable. Bullet points and bold headlines win every time.
👤 Show You’re a Solid Bet
Lenders aren’t just funding a deal—they’re betting on you. Show them you’re reliable and resourceful.
Strengthen your credibility with:
Past deal history or real estate experience
Support from a consultant or mentor (like working with SLB)
LLC paperwork or business entity docs
Proof of personal investment (even a small amount of your own cash)
New to investing? No worries—partner with an experienced investor or leverage a team like SLB to boost your trust factor.
📚 Understand Private Lending Terms
Private lending isn't one-size-fits-all. Be ready for different expectations than banks or hard money lenders.
Typical terms to expect:
Interest rates: 8%–15%
Points or fees: 1–5%
Loan-to-value ratio (LTV): 65%–75%
Terms: 6–12 months for flips, longer for rentals
Tip: Know your deal inside and out so you can confidently answer questions and negotiate terms.
🛠️ Be Organized & Ready to Move Fast
Private lenders often move quicker than traditional banks, but they still expect professionalism.
Have these ready to go:
Title report or property details
Contractor bids or repair scope
Insurance info
Defined exit plan
Speed builds confidence. A prepared investor is a funded investor.
