Hard Money Loans
Hard money loans, also known as private money loans, are typically used in real estate transactions where the borrower is seeking short-term financing or property purchases that do not qualify for traditional financing.
About Hard Money Loans
Minimal documentation – require minimal documentation, unlike traditional loans which require documentation such as income verification, credit checks, and other financial information.
Secured by collateral – Typically secured by property. This means that if the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to foreclose on the property.
Short-term repayment period – Usually short-term loans that must be repaid within a few months to a few years.
Quick approval process – Can be approved much more quickly than traditional loans, often within a matter of days because hard money lenders are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as traditional lenders.
High interest rates – Lenders are taking on more risk by lending to borrowers who may not qualify for traditional financing.
