Capital Parameters

Private money is not one program. Depending on the asset, leverage request, business plan, and exit, the lender audience may include lower-leverage balance sheet lenders, higher-leverage private credit funds, land lenders, bridge lenders, family offices, and special-situation capital providers.

Overview

Private money solves for speed and certainty.

Private money loans are typically used when a conventional bank, agency, CMBS, or life company loan cannot meet the sponsor's timeline, collateral profile, documentation posture, proceeds requirement, or requested structure.

These loans are often interest-only, short-term, asset-focused, and designed to bridge a borrower through acquisition, refinance, cash-out, land carry, recapitalization, maturity pressure, entitlement, lease-up, sale, or a more permanent takeout.

Piccard Financial positions each private money request around the asset, proceeds use, exit strategy, sponsor profile, collateral basis, and closing urgency, then matches the opportunity with the correct lender audience, including private lenders, debt funds, family offices, land lenders, and institutional private credit sources capable of executing.

Private money is program-specific

  • RatesPricing varies by leverage, asset type, location, term, documentation, sponsorship, and exit. Lower-leverage stabilized scenarios may begin around 7.90%, while land, higher-leverage, special-situation, and rescue capital may price into the 11%+ range.
  • LeverageLeverage varies widely. Some conservative private lenders may cap proceeds around 50% to 60% LTV, while other programs may consider 65%, 70%, or 75%+ LTV when the asset, basis, and exit support the request.
  • Loan SizePrivate capital can range from smaller balance loans to larger institutional private credit executions. Piccard can pursue loan requests from roughly $1,000,000 to $25,000,000 and, for qualified transactions, larger requests up to approximately $200,000,000.
  • TermCommon private money terms include 6, 12, 18, and 24-month structures, with extension options available in select programs depending on the asset, leverage, and exit strategy.
  • CollateralPrograms may include first trust deeds, select subordinate or structured positions, land loans, multifamily, industrial, office, retail, mixed-use, hospitality, special-use, and non-owner occupied residential collateral.
  • FlexibilityPotential for limited documentation, fast closing, flexible prepayment, non-recourse or limited-recourse structures, higher leverage, or business-plan-driven underwriting depending on the lender and transaction.

Common Use Cases

Private capital for deals that need a custom solution.

The best private money execution is not simply the lowest rate. It is the structure that solves the immediate need, fits the collateral, and preserves a realistic exit.

Acquisition

Fast-Close Purchases

Acquisition financing when the borrower needs certainty of execution, short diligence, or a lender that can move faster than a conventional bank process.

Refinance

Maturity Payoff

Bridge capital to retire an upcoming loan maturity, avoid default pressure, or create time for lease-up, sale, bank refinancing, or sponsor recapitalization.

Liquidity

Cash-Out Refinance

Private money cash-out solutions for business plans requiring liquidity, partner buyouts, reserves, soft costs, tenant improvements, or working capital.

Complex Assets

Non-Bankable Situations

Financing for assets with vacancy, transitional income, pending leases, unusual collateral, limited trailing cash flow, or situations that require asset-based underwriting.

Bridge to Exit

Sale or Refinance Bridge

Short-term loans designed around a defined sale, refinance, entitlement event, construction loan, permanent takeout, or other near-term capital event.

Land

Land & Entitlement Loans

Private capital for land acquisition, refinance, entitlement carry, soft costs, pre-development, and projects that need time before construction or sale.

Larger Requests

Institutional Private Credit

For larger transactions, Piccard can access deeper private credit and debt fund relationships capable of evaluating substantially larger check sizes.

Execution Process

Speed matters, but structure still matters more.

We underwrite the immediate problem, then work backward from the exit so the private money loan does not create the next problem.

Identify the pressure point

We determine whether the financing need is driven by acquisition timing, maturity, cash-out, carry costs, repositioning, documentation, or a pending exit.

Define the collateral story

We review asset type, location, value, current income, occupancy, business plan, title, existing debt, and the realistic takeout path.

Size the request

We evaluate LTV, payoff, reserves, closing costs, requested cash-out, fees, and the proceeds level a private lender can support.

Approach the correct capital source

We match the transaction to private lenders, debt funds, family offices, or institutional private credit sources based on speed, size, collateral, and structure.

Negotiate terms

We compare pricing, points, processing fees, term, recourse, prepayment flexibility, reserves, extension options, and closing conditions.

Close and plan the exit

We help coordinate diligence, documentation, title, payoff, funding, and the next-step strategy, whether that is sale, refinance, stabilization, or permanent capital.
