By Patricia Walker


In the current credit market, it is very difficult for the real estate investors and developers to get their projects funded. Applying for real estate financing can be a stressful and daunting process. If you want to increase your chances of securing approval, you need to know the different sources of commercial project funding that you can access. There are high chances of success for those investors who choose the source of financing that suits their business needs. The following are some of your choices when it comes to the financing of investment property.

When you think of applying for financing for the real estate venture, your first stop will probably be the traditional loan offered by the bank and institutionalized lenders. These institutions have the advantage of offering low interest rates to potential investors because they want to enhance their competitiveness in the market. Some of the common features of these loans include an extensive underwriting process and a longer repayment period.

Apart from the traditional loans, private lenders are another important source of real estate financing. Private lenders include all those people that have access to capital and are willing to invest in your real estate projects. These lenders are not licensed to loan money but they do so with the intention of earning some interest on the money. The terms provided by these lenders are very easy and the repayment period might be shorter. However, there interest rates are very high ranging between 12 and 15 percent.

Real estate investors also rely on venture capitalists to finance their projects. These can either be a company or an individual with a very high net worth. You can be assured that they will invest in the projects if they have a potential. They can even give you more funds than the traditional banks can offer. However, you need to know that there selection process is very selective and there is a very high chance that the loan will not be approved.

Angel investors are another important source of finances for the real estate venture. These individuals are usually well-off and are willing to put their funds in the project as long as they can be granted a convertible debt or ownership equity. They are willing to take more risk when investing in the projects but they can grant you the loan and then proceed to acquire the property in future.

Real estate investors can also apply for commercial loans that will allow them to purchase property. Unlike the traditional loans, these loans have a longer repayment period. They offer low interest rates with the objective of minimizing the default risk. It is important for you to know that it is very difficult for you to get approval for this type of loan.

The other source of financing for these types of projects is real estate crowdfunding. This involves the pooling together of funds from different sources as well as people. The increase in popularity of this form of financing can be attributed to its ability to offer more flexible repayment terms.

Getting started on real estate investment is not as difficult as most people think. After you have identified your focus, you need to proceed to identify the best source of financing that will turn your strategy into a reality.
