Hard Money loans are typically short-term, asset-based financing solutions often used by real estate investors. Unlike traditional mortgages that rely heavily on a borrower’s income or credit history, Hard Money loans primarily consider the value of the property being used as collateral. These loans can provide quicker access to capital, making them useful for fix-and-flip projects, bridge financing, or other short-term investment opportunities.

​

Key Features:

• Asset-Based Qualification: Approval focuses largely on the property’s value, not just personal financial profiles.

• Short-Term Financing: Terms often range from a few months to a few years, ideal for investors looking to purchase, improve, or quickly resell.

• Flexible Conditions: May offer faster closings and less stringent documentation compared to conventional mortgages.

 

Important Considerations:

• Higher Interest Rates & Fees: Hard Money loans generally carry higher costs than traditional mortgages.

• Shorter Repayment Periods: Borrowers should have a clear exit strategy to repay or refinance.

• Legal Compliance: All offers must comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).
