Qualification Requirements
There are three ways to get pre-qualified for a Private money loan from Source Community Lending
Experience
These are typical Private money loan requirements for experienced investors. A minimum of 2 completed flips in the prior 36 months where the investor was at least a 51% owner, managed the rehab, and the property was sold on MLS or refinanced into a rental. Investors should also have cash reserves sufficient for down payment, closing costs, working capital and some contingency funds.
Financial
We make Private money loan qualifications simple and flexible, even for first-time flippers. For new investors that do not have experience, Source Community Lending offers a financial qualification which includes a combination of strong cash reserves, credit score and annual income.
Sponsor – Mentor
Don’t have the experience or financials to qualify? Find an investor who does, have them pre-qualify with Source Community Lending, and then partner with them.
