What is "hard money"?

Hard money is a type of financing that involves risky, short-term loans for people to purchase real estate. It is not based on the borrower’s credit or income, but it is based on the property itself.

The lender charges a higher interest rate than traditional loans because there is more risk involved. The term “hard” comes from the high interest rate attached to these types of loans.

What is a hard money loan?

A hard money loan is a type of asset-based lending where real estate is used as collateral against the loan.

A hard money lender might offer a mortgage in a shorter amount of time than a bank. They also charge higher interest rates and fees in comparison to that of a traditional lender.

It can also be used in cases where banks have low lending limits or when the borrower does not meet the criteria for conventional financing.

GET FUNDED

HARD MONEY.

Loan terms are usually between 6 months to 3 years. 

​In most cases, loan terms last no longer than 12 months.

TRADITIONAL MORTGAGE. 

Loan terms are usually between 15 to 30 years. 

Secured by the value of a home, apartment block, etc. and is backed by the borrower’s ability to pay back the loan in monthly installations. 

But Why Would Anyone Need to Use a Hard Money Lender?

Hard Money tends to appeal to Orlando real estate investors and business owners for four distinct reasons. 

SPEED

The speed at which funds are made available. Hard money lenders typically loan in under 7 days.

DISTRESSED PROPERTIES

The ability to get loans on properties that banks won’t loan on, often because ‘too much’ rehab work is required than what a bank is willing to accept. Hard Money Lenders love these types of projects.

FLEXIBLE LOAN TERMS

​The much more flexible (vs bank  financing) and negotiable repayment terms.

NO CAP ON # OF LOANS

Banks and financial institutions will typically stop lending to you when you have upwards of 5-8 current loans. And it doesn’t matter if you’re seeking to work with a new lender who you have not worked with before.

Our Orlando based lending advisors are on hand to offer you unbiased advice so that you make an informed decision.

HARD MONEY LOANS ARE A TYPE OF PRIVATE LOAN.

The financing is provided by non-bank financial institutions and private lenders (like us), as opposed to government-regulated financial institutions.

​A Hard money lender basically does what banks do: they loan money, and do it with complete transparency of loan terms that are agreed upfront.

Hard money loans can be a very appealing financing option for those with bad credit or those who are considered high-risk borrowers. And oftentimes hard money loans may be the only financing option.

That said, many people with high credit scores and perfectly good credit history will often prefer to make use of hard money loans for specific transactions and in specific situations. This is because hard money loans provide distinct benefits over traditional bank loans.

SHOULD I CONSIDER A HARD MONEY LOAN?

 

If you fall into any of the buckets below, you likely should consider a hard money loan.
IF YOU NEED MONEY FAST…

 

Either in order to close on a property in time or for some other situation, then a hard money lender affords you the ability to get capital much faster than bank financing will.

 

IF YOU HAVE POOR CREDIT HISTORY…

 

Or a low credit score, then a hard money lender may be the best or even the only financing option available to you.

 

IF YOU NEED MONEY FOR A REHAB…

 

Or if the banks are unwilling to give you anymore loans, then a hard money lender allows you to secure financing quickly with much less red tape.

 

STILL NOT SURE?​​

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF HARD MONEY LOANS VS TRADITIONAL FINANCING?

Light Woodgrain

HARD MONEY LOANS ARE NOT EXECUTED THE SAME WAY​ and not subject to the same red-tape as regular bank financing. 

The amount of time to deploy the capital is decreased considerably.

​Hard money lenders do not normally conduct credit history and credit score checks.

Terms of hard money loans are flexible and negotiable, and can often be worked out between the loan provider and the borrower. The absence of strict loan conditions is a key differentiator to traditional bank financing. The main reason for this is because hard money loans use the property as collateral, more specifically the “ARV” (after repair value).

Is there more than one type of hard money Loan?

 

A hard money loan is a hard money loan despite the type of property the cash is secured against. 

Whether the loan is for a flip project or an apartment building the essential characteristics are present, i.e. the cash does not come from a bank, the decision to provide money is not based on credit history or credit rating alone and typically the lending decision is based on the After Repair Value of the property.

Within the industry it is not unusual to categorize different types of hard money loans based on the type of property the money is loaned against.

Commericial Bridge loans

When someone acquires a commercial property, it frequently takes time to make necessary enhancements and upgrades required to lease to appropriate tenants.

​A bridge loan is a method of securing the short-term financing required to bridge this time period. Because we are a commercial hard money lender we also offer bridge loans to small business operators who require capital for commercial properties they already own free and clear, or in which they have significant capital.

Residential Bridge Loans

Residential bridge loans are the type of loans that a homeowner gets when they need money from the sale of their existing home to put towards a new home, but they need the money to close on the new home before they have sold their existing home.

​So the bridge loan allows a person to buy a new home before they have the cash, but they will repay back the bridge loan when they sell their existing home.

Fix n’ Flip Hard Money Loans

House flippers and buyers of properties that require purchases to be made completely in cash or hard money. Hard money loans can offer approximately 75%-85% of the purchase cost and cost of rehab. These loans sometimes have no prepayment, which means that borrowers can put the money to work, faster. For Fix and Flip loans (Florida), call the local hard money lenders with access to a nationwide lending pool. 
Residential Rehabilitation Under Hard Money Lenders

Residential Rehab Hard Money Loans

A residential rehab loan is used by people who have found a house whose value can be significantly increased after rehab work, and are looking to enjoy the passive income earned as a result of getting tenants and leasing the property at a higher rent thanks to the rehab.

Because of the speed at which funds will be in your bank account, a resi rehab loan will enable you to purchase properties when markets are hot and there is inevitably a lot of competition. 

Buy & Hold Hard Money Loans

Investors who wish to reap the benefits of passive income as a result of rental income can certainly benefit from our buy and hold hard money loans. In a  hot market or when you see a deal  you really like, acting quickly thanks to having liquid cash is vital to close on those deals. 

Our process to apply and get approved can be all done in just a couple of days. This speed of financing puts you in a strong position to negotiate with sellers, especially when you’re competing against people relying on slower, traditional bank financing. 

If you need long term loans, with full or partial amortization over a period of up to 20 years we have loan products for that too.

Cash-Out Refinance Loans

Traditional bank financing has restrictions which prevent many people from being able to refinance their existing mortgage for a higher dollar amount.

​This stops homeowners from being able to leverage the additional equity in their homes to put to purpose elsewhere. On the other hand, hard money cash-out refinance loans are available to anyone who can secure the loan with their residential home or commercial property.

Airbnb & VRBO Real Estate Hard Money Loans

Airbnb and VRBO rental residential or commercial properties offer a really attractive means of earning passive rental income – in many cases delivering returns much higher than what’s  typically from single-family and multifamily properties. This is due to the premium short term renters are willing to pay.

However, in spite of their enormous earning potential, traditional bank lenders typically refuse to make loans on short-term rentals. We know the value of these financial investments and can supply you with the hard money needed to acquire and rehab residential or commercial properties that have excellent potential for the short-term rental market.

​Many of our team members have their own short term rental properties and  have enjoy great returns for years. They  are happy to talk to  you about their properties and how they have made the most of them.

Hard Money Loan Requirements

 

In general, there are three requirements for a hard money loan:
IEquity/ Downpayment

 

The main requirement is producing the required downpayment or equity in a specific property to use as collateral for the hard money loan. The minimum amount usually ranges from 25% – 305 for residential properties and 30% – 40% for commercial ones.

 

Overall Financial Strength

 

A borrower also needs to have the necessary cash reserves to make monthly costs and holding payments. The higher the amount in reserves, the higher the chances of getting approval for the loan.

 

Real Estate Experience

 

Lenders will also take a look at how much experience/exposure a borrower has with the real estate market. A first-timer might have a harder time obtaining a loan than someone who is a veteran or has at least has considerable experience in the industry.

When does it make sense to use a hard money loan?

Can I use the money for repairs?

Yes. Most lenders will require you to provide documentation of all completed home repairs, as well as invoices from contractors and subcontractors.

Will my credit score make a difference?

Yes, in some cases. Because the loan is secured by real estate, lenders examine the property’s value more closely. Nonetheless, some lenders conduct credit checks to look for previous bankruptcies, foreclosures, charge-offs, and collections.
