Successful investing needs capital. For real estate investors, that often means mortgaging existing properties as a source of attaining capital. Traditional lending through banks and other financial institutions is often the method of acquiring hard-money loans. Sometimes though, the loan approval process may be too time-consuming or their lending practices may be too restrictive for investors.

Keyur Patel (top, left) and Naim Hamdar (top, right) of Synergistic Funding share three types of creative mortgages that are available to real estate investors as an alternative to traditional institutional lending.

   • Undisclosed, non-restrictive cash-out feature
   • Assumable

   • Quick execution – loan sold as packaged, traded security or bond
