What Makes a Hard Money Lender Different?

Hard money lenders focus on the real estate rather than the borrower credit or income when funding a hard money loan. That is not to say credit or income isn’t considered, but the primary security for the hard money lender is the real estate. Further, hard money lenders are more flexible in their lending options, require significantly less documentation, close much quicker, and will consider most property types. 

What Documents do Hard Money Lenders Require?

A simple call to a hard money lender will start the approval process. With some preliminary information, the hard money lender can tell you if they can fund the loan and the approximate pricing. Be sure to request a list of the required documents upfront.
