Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hard money loan in real estate investing?
A hard money loan is a method for financing investment properties such as single family homes, condos, multifamily apartment buildings, retail or industrial properties, and other income generating real estate.
A hard money loan is usually used for riskier investments, such as buying a property in bad condition to rehab and resell it. In this situation it’s unlikely to get approved for a loan by a traditional residential or commercial mortgage lender. But hard money lenders provide cash for such deals, however, with a higher interest rate and additional fees.
Another reason is that getting a hard money loan is a much quicker and less bureaucratic process than getting a traditional financing. This can be important if an investor finds a very attractive investing opportunity that they don’t want to lose to a quicker competitor.
