Step 3: Receive the Hard Money Loan
This type of loan doesn’t have as many restrictions as one might think considering that it’s just money, so no more having to worry about bankruptcies, foreclosures, collections, etc!
Due to the lack of guidelines and underwriting, a true Hard Money Loan is generally capped at 75% LTV or less. For example, let’s say you have a home worth $1M, if you want $500K against it (50% LTV), you’re able to receive the money within 14-25 days (from the day of application), commonly as a first lean position - because it’s just money.
It’s normally in the form of a Bridge Loan, which is short-term financing in a period of 12-24 months.
The Transformative Power of Hard Money Loans: Beyond Traditional Financing
It's true, that hard money is expensive, with lots of risk...so why would you use it as a viable loan option?
Hard money is the solution for borrowers who cannot get traditional funding when they need it, for instance, they might have bad credit, no credit, go through a divorce, etc. This type of unconventional loan helps those who could not receive the help they required and in many cases - it changed their lives.
In the position of the lender, which in this case would be Stratton Equities, we are focused on collateral and less concerned with your financial position. However, this particular loan closes quicker than a traditional loan as it has fewer guidelines and underwriting, which speeds up the application process - since we don't have to review your bank statements or verify your income.
Utilizing a hard money loan, allows us to have a relationship with our hard money borrowers and real estate investors. It gives us, the lender, the ability to close deals that others can’t close in a market that’s usually inundated with multiple offers.
Private Money Lenders prefer a hard money loan because of its flexibility. The hard money agreements don't use a standardized underwriting process but they evaluate each deal individually.
