What is Real Estate Private Equity and Alternative Financing?
Private equity in real estate is a form of financing where the funds do not come from a commercial bank, but from private investors, companies, or regulated investment funds.
The foundation of this private loan is always real estate collateral. Our specialty is obtaining liquidity secured by real estate. This means the loan is granted based on the strength and value of a property (whether in Mallorca, Ibiza, or Marbella) that serves as collateral, allowing for a level of flexibility that banks cannot offer.
Legal certainty in private capital lending
It is essential to highlight that the professional private lending sector is strictly regulated by Law 5/2019 on Real Estate Credit. At Palma Finance, we guarantee that all transactions are signed before a notary, with complete transparency and legal security.
Profiles of those requesting Private Equity Loans
The profile of the private financing applicant has evolved. Today, we help both entrepreneurs on the Costa del Sol and property owners in the Balearic Islands:
1. Private Financing for Companies and SMEs
Companies often experience temporary cash flow problems. Banks take months to analyze risks, but the market doesn't wait. We manage loans for companies and SMEs using unencumbered real estate assets. It's the fastest way to buy stock, pay taxes, or expand your business without negatively impacting your credit rating in many cases.
2. Real Estate Investors and Private Credit
In exclusive areas like the Costa del Sol or the Balearic Islands, the best opportunities disappear quickly. To help you take advantage of a below-market purchase, we manage loans for investors. We finance express purchases and renovations for house flipping (buy, renovate, and sell), where the speed of private capital is key to profitability.
3. Individuals: Private Money Solutions for Inheritances and ASNEF (Spanish Credit Bureau)
We resolve complex situations such as the acceptance of inheritances (lack of liquidity for taxes) or the cancellation of debts to get out of delinquency files (RAI/ASNEF) and regain banking access.
Private Capital Mortgages: A Temporary "Bridge" Solution
To understand this financial product, it's essential to grasp its time frame. Private capital doesn't replace a 30-year bank mortgage; it's a strategic transitional tool.
Most of our transactions are structured as 1-3 year private mortgages.
This timeframe is ideal for resolving the urgent matter (selling the property calmly, cleaning up the credit history, or finishing a project) and subsequently repaying the loan or refinancing it with traditional banks.
Differences: Banking vs. Private Equity Financing
| Feature | Traditional Banking | Private Equity Real Estate |
| Speed | Slow (1-3 months) | Immediate (Signature in <15 days) |
| Requirements | Payroll and CIRBE impeccable | Property Guarantee |
