You should consider using a private lender in the following circumstances
Not everyone will qualify for a mortgage through traditional lenders. Institutional lenders are governed by strict lending regulations. Private mortgages are short-term, interest-only loans and they offer the borrower an opportunity to finance property over the short term while finding alternative ways to borrow money.
Private mortgage lenders are a great option for those who want a personalized experience, and who want to avoid the extended lead times and red tape required by institutional lenders. Private lenders are usually happy to finance property by up to 85%. Their primary concern is the value of the property rather than the history of the borrower.
Credit issues are usually one of the main reasons that a person would require a private mortgage. For example, a person coming out of bankruptcy may need more time to rebuild credit before a bank will consider giving that person a mortgage.
