Five reasons to choose a hard money lender when looking for a real estate loan

1 Rapid Response

Hard money lenders are investors who have decided to make their money work for them. As such, they are extremely interested in consummating timely deals. Count on a quick decision at every step of the hard money loan process.

  1. Capital Availability

Similarly, a hard money lender is not constrained by the risk tolerance of a loan committee or by government regulation. If the lender considers that the interest rate justifies the risk, he can make any deal he wants to

  1. Flexible Financing

While there are a variety of traditional real estate loans ranging from commercial “balloon” notes to traditional residential mortgages, they are, by and large, fixed in stone when it comes to terms and conditions. Hard money loans, on the other hand, are controlled by far fewer constraints. Hard money loans do require title searches, escrows, and insurance but these items are meant to protect the lender AND the borrower. The financial terms of the deal, however, are completely up to the parties involved.

  1. Business Experience

Real estate investment involves a wide variety of techniques and courses of action. Hard money lenders can examine the particulars of a deal and understand its mechanics to make an informed decision.

  1. Price

As with any other real estate investment, the interest rate is dependent on the risk involved in the deal. Nevertheless, interest rates are comparable to many traditional bank loans especially when upfront bank fees are considered. A borrower may not always get the lowest interest rate, but on a short term deal, hard money lenders may still be the most affordable option

Why Use Hard Money?

Category : Uncategorized

If hard money is expensive, why would you use it? Hard money has its place for
certain borrowers who cannot get traditional funding when they need it.
Speed: because the lender is mostly focused on collateral (and less concerned
with your financial position), hard money loans can be closed more quickly
than traditional loans. Lenders would rather not take possession of your
property, but they don't need to spend as much time going through a loan
application with a fine toothed comb – verifying your income, reviewing bank
statements, and so on. Once you have a relationship with a lender, the process
can move quickly, giving you the ability to close deals that others can’t close
(that’s especially important in hot markets with multiple offers).

Flexibility: hard money agreements can also be more flexible than traditional
loan agreements. Lenders don't use a standardized underwriting process.
Instead, they evaluate each deal individually. Depending on your situation, you
may be able to tweak things like the repayment schedules. You might be
borrowing from an individual who’s willing to talk – not a large corporation
with strict policies.
Approval: the most important factor for hard money lenders is collateral. If
you’re buying an investment property, the lender will lend as much as the
property is worth. If you need to borrow against a different property you own,
that property’s value is what the lender cares about. If you’ve got a
foreclosure or other negative items in your credit report, it’s much less
important – some lenders might not even look at your credit (although many
lenders will ask about your personal finances).
Most hard money lenders keep loan-to-value ratios (LTV ratios) relatively low.
Their maximum LTV ratio might be 50% to 70%, so you'll need assets to qualify
for hard money. With ratios this low, lenders know they can sell your
property quickly and have a reasonable shot at getting their money back.

How to Deal with your finances during a COVID-19

Category : Uncategorized

This is an unprecedented time of trying to manage our lives, take care of our loved ones, help neighbors and strangers, and somehow make ends meet with the income we have left. Concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 are very real; no matter who you are or where you live, this is one crisis no one can escape. The good news is that those in positions of authority, influence or capability are doing what they can to help.

Part of managing through the crisis financially is to ensure we’re looking after ourselves in other ways too. Our physical, psychological and emotional health will play a role in our financial health, and vice versa. There are also a few different ways to approach getting the help we need. From income support to reduced spending and creditors adjusting payment requirements to give us some breathing room, the combined effect of all three will have the greatest positive effect on our overall situation.

The bottom line on managing through a financial crisis

When it comes to surviving a financial crisis, there is no shame in asking for help, leaning on those you trust, and helping others as best you can. And the coronavirus (COVID-19) is a bigger crisis than most of the world has dealt with in a very long time. We are all in this together — individuals, families, communities, businesses big and small, and all levels of the health-care system and government. Sticking together and helping each other out is really the only way we’ll overcome it successfully.
