What Is A Private Mortgage Loan?
A private mortgage is an alternative financing option provided by a private lender when traditional banks or lending institutions decline a borrower’s mortgage or home refinance loan application. Typically, these loans are short-term and interest-only, spanning from 6 months to 3 years.
