In order to be approved for a loan from a traditional lending institution, a prospective borrower must meet certain criteria, which typically includes a steady source of income, good credit history, and sufficient collateral. Unfortunately, not everyone fits this mold and will not qualify for financing, which is where Atlanta private money lenders should be able to help them.

Private investors often approve candidates to whom banks denied funding. A loan officer or lender is the person who has connections to these investors and acts as a proxy between them and prospective borrowers. Each client's needs differ, as do the terms and rates of these loans; it is the job of the lender to find the best match.

Lenders who officiate loans can be found through personal referrals, in the Yellow Pages, or online. It is important to do some research into the background of this person before deciding to do business with him or her. Requesting and contacting references as well as finding out the lender's foreclosure rate is advisable.

After choosing a lender they are confident in and comfortable with, the borrower will begin the loan application process. This begins with completing a "Statement of Information" form and submitting it as well as all supporting documents which are required, doing so gives the investor an overview of the applicant's financial situation. Clients should be sure to disclose any credit issues etc., with the lender, as they are in the business of finding solutions for such problems.

The money loan package best suited to the client depends on his or her financial state as well as the intended purpose of the funding. Similarly, the maximum loan amount and interest rates will also be based on these factors. The more details pertaining to the use of the money, the better: lenders prefer to have a clear idea of how the funds will be spent.

If the loan is to purchase a property, appraisal, obtaining a Broker Price Opinion or Automated Valuation Model, and dealing with an escrow company may also be involved. What's more, any outstanding liens against the property or applicant must be resolved and confirmed with the appropriate documentation before any new loan can be approved.

Upon the approval of the loan, documents will be drawn up by the lender and presented to the borrower for review and signing. Next, the funds are issued to the client, proceeds forwarded to the investor, and all pertinent documents filed with the county. The loan will be "boarded" by the servicing company, which effectively sets up the payment plan for its lifespan.
