Frequently Asked Questions

Why do real estate investors use hard money loans?

Real estate investors often turn to hard money loans for their quick approval, flexibility, and capability to finance properties that need repairs. These loans are usually short-term, offer the advantage of leveraging capital, and generally don’t have prepayment penalties. However, they come with higher interest rates and fees compared to traditional loans.

What is the difference between hard money and traditional financing?

Hard money loans are ideal for fast financing as they focus on property value, enabling quick approval.

In comparison, traditional mortgages can be difficult to obtain for these types of properties due to their stricter requirements and longer approval times.
