Mortgage & Commercial Lending News.

At AMI Lenders in Houston, we have been helping real estate investors in many ways other than by providing them with private money mortgages. Over the years, one of these ways has been to answer questions related to real estate. One question we keep being asked year after year is: What aspects could help someone sell a house faster?

Lately, we have been reading more and more articles, in all kinds of news media, about the U.S. economy entering a recession in the second half of 2023. This has prompted us to write a short entry on the topic. Mind you, our specialty is extending private money loans backed by real estate, and we still do not have a crystal ball to predict the future (L.O.L.). Yet, many of our client's business initiatives could be hurt in a recessionary environment. So, we think this context deserves some attention on our part.

Due to a lack of industry knowledge, the general public often believes myths about asset-based mortgage lenders or Hard Money Lenders. Many people have misconceptions about their loans to real investors and home buyers. In this article, we intend to tackle these myths and misconceptions.

A lot has been said and written about “making your money work for you,” a colloquial, charming way to refer to passive income (that is, income that does not come from those employment or activities to which you dedicate most of your time in order to generate said income). Still, we think our faithful readers can benefit from being reminded that there are ways of generating passive income in the real estate industry, taking advantage of hard money loans.
