Daniel g asked 4 months ago in Personal Loans

Have a $33,000 dead of trust on an investment house. Excellent credit. house seasoned 4 months. Want to ref at up to 9%!?

If I can find a private investor it makes sense to pay up to 9% to aviod the $3000 costs at the banks, and associated crazy rules. I would also like to repeat this process! Is there a marketplace for this ie: P2P. I would be offering 1st position on the house(no seconds) and have a good full time income as a firefighter.

33,000 at 9% for a 3 year term. You would pay
4,778.08 in interest. Most P2P lending sites charge a flat 1% fee so an extra 330.

33,000 at 6% for a 3 year term. You would pay 3,141.26 in interest.

Your claim is 3,000$ in closing costs. I would look around, maybe even contact your existing mortgage company and see what the fees would be to refinance. A p2p loan is unsecured, so unless you have perfect credit, I see about 11-12%. You mention your a firefighter. I would check with your credit union and other associations. Often these organizations will offer low fee/low interest loans for members. I would be careful in dealing with private investors. Some have been known to commit fraud, such as loosing payments and charging fees etc. Some even will seize your house in some extreme cases.
