Why Successful Real Estate Investors Prefer Private Lenders And Run From Traditional Banks
It's often said he who holds the gold makes the rules. The saying absolutely holds true when discussing real estate investing. Traditional banks and lending institutions typically do not like the risk involved with investing in residential real estate, especially foreclosure investing. Their thought process seems to be that if the house is not your primary residence it is much easier for the investor to default and essentially walk away unscathed except for a derogatory remark on their credit report. Conversely, private lenders seem to better understand the goals and intangible ability for real estate investors to be able to take a foreclosure and make it a beautiful home once again.

Full-time: Bristol Rugby 12 Leeds Carnegie 9
BRISTOL Rugby beat Leeds Carnegie at a sodden Memorial Stadium to move above the Yorkshiremen and into fourth place in the Championship table.
In a game Bristol had earmarked as crucial to their hopes of finishing inside the play-off places, Adrian Jarvis kicked four first-half penalties to see the hosts into a 12-0 half-time lead.
Leeds rallied after the break, scoring three penalties through Rory Clegg, who also hit the post with a long-range drop-goal attempt and rattled the outside of the left-hand post with a penalty as the visitors pressed.
But Bristol, whose scrummaging was superb throughout, finished the game on top and closed out victory without too many late scares to edge above both Leeds and Cornish Pirates, whose trip to Newcastle was postponed.
Bristol took a seventh-minute lead through Jarvis after Leeds, who had started brightly, ended up pinned back in their own 22. The fly-half then doubled Bristol's lead from 25 metres when a Leeds man was penalised for not rolling away from a tackle.
A strong wind was blowing the length of the pitch, and Bristol took advantage in the first half, with Jarvis making it 9-0 on 24 minutes after Leeds lock Dominic Barrow saw yellow for a high tackle that left Bristol centre Ben Mosses needing treatment.
Bristol were dominating the scrum, winning four consecutive scrums against the head, while their line-out coughed and spluttered. They enjoyed control of the opening period, and Jarvis kicked them into a 12-0 half-time lead when Leeds were spotted entering a ruck from the side.
But, with the wind still a factor, Leeds' fortunes changed after the break. Due to the conditions, there was never going to be anything close to a repeat of the free-scoring match at Headingley in September, which Leeds won 50-31.
Instead, the 4,070 spectators inside the Memorial Stadium were greeted to a tense, gritty match, that Leeds brought to life when on-loan fly-half Clegg made it 12-3 from 35 metres shortly after half-time.
He then hit the post with a long-range drop-goal attempt, and did the same with a penalty, as Bristol rode their luck. Clegg made no mistake from 25 metres to make it 12-6 on 50 minutes – and when he made it 12-9, after referee JP Doyle reversed a penalty, Bristol would have been well within their rights to be flustered.
But they finished the game on top, with scrum-half replacement Ruki Tipuna making an instant impact. Leeds hooker Joe Graham was sin-binned for killing the ball just three minutes after replacing Phil Nilsen – and his departure helped Bristol regain their earlier authority.
The hosts enjoyed several scrums close to the Leeds line in the closing minutes. And, although they could not force a way over, they finished the game on top to secure what could prove to be a crucial four Championship points.
Bristol: J Tovey; G Watkins, L Eves, B Mosses (T Roberts 24-27), R Edwards; A Jarvis, J Grindal (capt; R Tipuna 61); K Traynor (M Lilley 80), R Johnston, J Hobson, M Sambucetti (B Glynn 61), G Townson, M Mama, R Pennycook, M Eadie. Reps not used: R Lawrence, W Thompson, A Faosiliva.
Scorers: Pens – Jarvis (4).
Leeds: S McColl; M Clark (P Nilsen 67-76), J Griffin, P Lucock, D Doherty; R Clegg, C Hampson (J Doherty 51); S Lockwood (B Harris 76), P Nilsen (J Graham 63), D Tussac, C Green (M Smith 76), D Barrow (M Myerscough 55), R Baldwin, J Rowan (capt), R Burrows. Reps not used: B Hooper, C Georgiou.
Scorers: Pens – Clegg (3).
Sin-binned: Barrow (21-35, high tackle); Graham (66-76, killing the ball).

Patchway staff escape cuts
WORKERS at Rolls-Royce's factory in Patchway are breathing a sigh of relief after it emerged they will not be affected by job cuts at the firm.
The engineering company announced it is cutting around 400 jobs in its defence division as a result of Government spending cuts.
Fears were immediately raised that the cuts could affect the firm's operation in Bristol, largely based around defence and marine work.
The unions were initially claiming that work could move abroad but bosses at Rolls-Royce moved to reassure the 3,000 workers in South Gloucestershire they will not be affected by the cuts.
But it emerged that more work will be coming to Bristol as a result of the review with a contract being transferred from a factory in Germany.
The brunt of the cuts will come at the firm's factory in Ansty, near Coventry, where an estimated 378 posts are to likely to be axed.
The jobs will be lost or relocated over several years as defence contracts are progressively run down at the unions have claimed.
The move is also being seen as a boost for the Bristol plant, one of the most modern and advanced in the country. Just under £75 million was spent on upgrading the factory three years ago.
It is also understood that Patchway, which employs more than 3,500 people, will benefit from work transferred from a Rolls-Royce site in Dahlewitz in Germany.
Ian Waddell, Unite's national officer for aerospace and shipbuilding, said: "The blame for the loss of these highly skilled jobs in the key defence sector lies with the Government and its short-sighted determination to ram through massive spending cuts in the defence budget.
"Once again, Unite calls for a coherent defence industrial strategy to be drawn up as matter of urgency to safeguard jobs and a defence industry at which Britain excels. This is vital - otherwise more high-skilled jobs will be lost, perhaps forever.
"There is a very long timescale for consultation and implementation, so we hope that compulsory redundancies will be avoided."
He said bosses at Rolls-Royce had acted fairly by giving as much notice as possible to the staff of the company's plans.

Popular chip shop owner Jonathan Farrow returns to the Magnet Fish Bar in Dean Lane, Bedminster
A POPULAR chip shop owner is returning to the original premises where he first made his name.
Jonathan Farrow, 48, who owns Farrows chip shop on Wells Road, Totterdown has again taken over the lease of the Magnet Fish Bar in Dean Lane, Bedminster.
It comes more than 20 years since he first reopened the empty shop in 1989.
Mr Farrow, who lives in Weston-super-Mare, is a past winner of The Post's Chippie of the Year award.
He first won with the Magnet in 1992, but also received awards for Farrows in Totterdown and with a shop of the same name in Kingsway, St George.
The former property developer has been cooking up fish and chips since a property crash in the late 80s.
He said: "I used to buy properties and renovate them and one of them happened to be a fish-and-chip shop in Dean Lane, Bedminster.
"When the property crash came, I was left with the derelict chippy and I decided to give it a go."
Mr Farrow, who was brought up in Saltford and attended St Brendan's School before it became a sixth form college, was given the basic skills by a man from Wisbech who manufactured fish-frying equipment.
He said: "The man told me it was important to set your opening hours and stick to them, keep quality up and not to charge silly prices."
Mr Farrow admits he is a perfectionist and has high standards to match.
He uses palm oil instead of vegetable oil, which is clean every day, and says the temperature for cooking is critical.
He sources his fish from Icelandic waters, which are prepared and frozen on board ship, and he uses Maris Piper potatoes which are grown in Cambridgeshire.
His fish and chips are cooked to order, which means the fish is not put into the oil until a request is made.
The chips are blanched ready for cooking so they too are delivered to order.
He said: "I have always cooked to order - it is my hallmark.
"A piece of fish is very quick to cook – if you put it in a heated cabinet it starts to deteriorate immediately, going soft on the bottom and dry on top."
Mr Farrow, previously relinquished his lease on the Magnet to concentrate on his other shops, but is now ready for the reopening on Monday at 5pm.
"Quite a bit of nostalgia led me to return to the Magnet," he said.
"It's been fairly neglected over the years, and I wanted to bring a bit of life back into it.
"A lot of people remember me running it years ago, and while I've been outside the shop doing the refurbishments, people have come up to me welcoming me back.
"I've also put up a sign which says Under Old Management, which has generated a lot of excitement.
"Many people have said it's like I'm coming home, and in a way I am - my dad was a Bedminster boy, having worked in the Imperial Tobacco Factory, and I consider myself a bit of a Bemmy boy too.
"A husband and wife team will be running Farrows in Totterdown and I will be at the Magnet full time training staff. The only thing that people can expect to be different from when I ran it in the 80s is that we won't be cooking in beef dripping anymore!"
