Private money mortgages satisfy the financial needs of small & big-time investors, as well as those individuals needing financing to buy (or refinance) real property. There are numerous players involved in the private loan marketplace. It is in this marketplace that borrowers and investors search for promising investment opportunities, although each has a unique perspective.
