A private mortgage is usually short-term, security-driven financing. The decision should be modelled through the intended exit date, including lender and brokerage fees, legal costs, interest, renewal risk, and the consequences if the exit fails.
Decision points
- 01
Write the exit event and evidence before borrowing.
- 02
Model total dollars through discharge, not only the monthly payment.
- 03
Use licensed mortgage and independent legal professionals.
Construct the total-cost timeline
List funds advanced, prepaid or deducted fees, interest payments, lender and brokerage charges, appraisal and legal expenses, renewal or extension charges, discharge costs, and any reserve. Then model the expected and delayed exit dates.
Challenge the exit
If the plan is refinance, sale, construction completion, or an income event, record the evidence, dependencies, timing margin, and failure case. A loan that is affordable for six months may become unsafe if the exit slips.
