Because they are not regulated by the government, the requirements for receiving a loan from them are not as stringent as those for banks. They do not place as much of an emphasis on your credit score, and they do not restrict you to making only one investment at a time.

These terms might be a deal breaker for you, but in many cases, accepting them early on can speed up the process of making an investment. After purchasing the properties, certain investors like to renegotiate the terms of the loans or refinance out of them after a period of time. It is one choice among many.
