Typically, clients get a hold of a private mortgage lender in Ottumwa when:

1. They are searching for funds to fix up a property or home and offer it at a higher price point or to rent it out at a higher monthly amount.

   As an example, a past borrower owned a duplex. He held an abundance of equity available in the asset and the rent brought in regular income each month. He sought to complete some improvements to the place so that he could keep his rents high, but a lower credit score of 520 meant that a bank would undoubtedly turn down the loan request. And so he came to Read Rock Capital to get a cash-out refinance and acquired a loan at 65% LTV.

2. They want to combine debts.

   Multiple debts with different rates can be extremely overwhelming and tough to keep track of. This is the reason some people opt to take advantage of the equity available in their property to combine each of their debts into a single private mortgage loan which has a lone payment per month.

3. They want to utilize the existing equity in a current home to work on a different project.

   To provide an example, a borrower in Hawaii had a house appraised at $1.2M. Since it was hard for him to get an interested party for the property, he had identified someone who was willing to lease it with an option to buy. The rent checks were sufficient to take care of the cost of his monthly mortgage bill, taxes and cost of homeowner's insurance. The tenant furthermore consented to pay him 200k as a downpayment for the 3 year lease contract. Having this collateral to pay for the property's foreseeable bills, he stumbled on a new investment opportunity and got into contact with Read Rock Capital to obtain a private mortgage loan close to seventy percent of the home's estimated value. This not only gave him adequate cash to put towards a down payment or his next property, but additionally helped him deal with the existing mortgage.

4. They need help to satisfy the balloon payment for the existing private loan.

   A real estate investor who currently has an existing private mortgage and is not able to afford the balloon payment thanks to a change of circumstances can submit an application for refinancing from another loan company. A refinance will help the borrower hit the cut-off date for the balloon payment and steer clear of any fines.
