There are thousands of individuals across the country who lend out their own personal money in the form of a mortgage. This is called Self-Directed Mortgage Lending.

So What is a Mortgage? and that shouldn't be taken as "silly" question..

It is important to distinguish the difference between the legal and financial aspects of a Mortgage. Legally Speaking a mortgage is not a loan. A mortgage is an interest in land created by a contract, used as security for a loan given by a lender to a borrower. Understanding how to identify a mortgage loan opportunity and how to analyze and effectively fund the mortgage request is broken down step by step throughout this course.

The most common reason someone would seek a mortgage loan is for the purchase of a home. Home prices usually far exceed the amount of money someone could save up in order to buy it with all cash. So instead, a down payment in the form of a small part of the total purchase price is provided by a Buyer, and the rest is borrowed, from a Lender. Normally a Bank or other Institution will provide the Loan and intern, register a mortgage, on the property as security. Some other common reasons a home owner would seek mortgage financing are situations like: Taking out equity to do some renovations, to pay off and consolidate debt such as credit cards, LOC’s or vehicle loans, to put money into investments such as new business ventures or use as down payment on a new home purchase or rental property. Or it could be used for buying out a former spouse off title or another family member. As you complete this course you will also have a strong understanding of the types of borrowers that seek mortgage loans from investors and lenders such as yourself.

The list of reasons for a Home Owner to use Home Equity could go on and we’ll outline a real life example in the FREE chapter down below. We also highlight this same deal scenario during a webinar that we host daily for FREE. If you have not taking part in one of our webinars before find the link below to register NOW for free.

Immediately, in exchange for loaning out money to a Home Owner, the lender receives a legal interest in the property, as security for the loan. The Lender will also earn interest on their money, as a return on investment over the term of the mortgage, usually being set out at 12 months. Recognizing the loan opportunity to funding the deal and to managing the active loan are a few pillars you will be afforded by the time you have completed this course.

So where does the loan money come from?? Lets dive in, enroll NOW.
